Applebees Lawsuit: Restaurant Liability
Applebee's restaurants received some steak recalled due to possible contamination with E. coli O157:H7 by National Steak and Poultry, an Oklahoma processor. The December 2009 steak recall was prompted by an E. coli outbreak linked to steak that sickened at least 21 people in California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and Washington.
Applebee's has a legal duty to serve food that is safe to eat. If your E. coli O157 infection can be linked to Applebee's, you will have claims against both Applebee's and the processor of the steak, National Steak and Poultry.
Under federal law, non-intact steak injected with brine is considered adulterated if it is contaminated with E. coli O157. This means that a strict liabilty claim is possible. With strict liability, the E. coli victim does not need to prove negligence on the part of the restaurant or processor.
We have successfully represented numerous victims of E. coli O157:H7 outbreaks linked to beef and other food served at restaurants. Below, Attorney Fred Pritzker discusses proving a food poisoning case.
Applebee's has had problems with E. coli-contaminated steak in the past. In the summer of 2004, an E. coli O157:H7 outbreak was associated with tri-tip steak served at an Applebee's in Colorado. At least 4 people contracted E. coli infections. The contaminated steak was part of a recall of over 400,000 pounds of hamburger patties and steak processed by Quantum Foods of Bolingbrook, Illinois. An Applebee's lawsuit was filed on behalf of a 19-year-old man in Jefferson County District Court.
E. coli O157 can lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP) and death.
