Listeria Salmon Lawsuit

Listeria Lawyer Fred Pritzker has established himself as a national leader in Listeria litigation and has recovered millions for victims of food poisoning, including a recent settlement for over $6,000,000. In that case, Fred Pritzker and his team had to solve a difficult issue of causation.  Two food manufacturers had sold products with genetically similar Listeria bacteria.  In the resulting Listeria outbreak, several people became seriously ill and about a fourth of them died.  Because the incubation period for Listeria is so long (11-70 days) and people don’t usually think about what specific product they are buying, the people who were sickened did not know which specific product had made them sick.  Listeria lawyer Fred Pritzker and his team of lawyers at Pritzker | Olsen, P.A. developed an argument for alternative liability.  With alternative liability, both manufacturers could be held responsible for the harm done to the victims of the Listeria outbreak.

New York Companys Salmon Recalled

A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection of a New York fish company found Listeria monocytogenes, prompting the recall of I ♥ NY Fish brand Imperial-European Style Smoked Salmon.

The FDA said no there have been no confirmed illnesses "to date.''

The recall notice, published in conjunction with the FDA, said the salmon is in vacuum packed 3 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz, and whole side “to be weighed at time of sale” sizes of lots starting with # 142 xxxx. The notice did not specify the volume of product subject to recall.

The product is packed sliced or whole sides on aluminum coated cardboard in a clear plastic vacuum packed bag with a red, black, and gold sticker label with gold lettering and a small white sticker label identifying the lot code. The first three digits are the Lot Code followed by a four digit “packaging” date. The firm is recalling all lots that begin with code 142 (for example: 142 0525, 142 0526, 142 0527, 142 0528).

Listeria monocytogenes is a potentially deadly bacterium that is known to cause still birth and miscarriage in pregnant women. Healthy adults usually recover without medical attention, but the pathogen is a dangerous health threat to young children, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems. Symptoms are flu-like muscle aches and fever, sometimes coupled with nausea and diarrhea. An infection can bring on stiff neck, headache, loss of balance, confusion or convulsions.
