Recent California E. coli Outbreaks

  1. Souplantation: March 2007 - 15 people who ate at the Lake Forest, California, Souplantation between March 23 and 25 contracted E. coli infections. These cases have been connected to a recall of 75,000 of ground beef by United Food Group LLC. Even if a connection was not made between the ground beef and Souplantation, restaurants are responsible for food poisoning caused by their food.
  2. Bakersfield Backyard Waterslide Event: May 2007 - Kerns County Health officials reported that a backyard waterslide party in& Bakersfield, California, was connected to an E. coli outbreak that sickened 12 people, 11 of them children. Kerns county officials believe 2 children contracted E. coli from an unknown source. United Food Group LLC recently recalled 75,000 of ground beef due to possible contamination with E. coli O157:H7. Health officials are looking at a link between the recall and this outbreak. Even if the recalled ground beef was not the source of this outbreak, when someone is injured on another person's property, the injured person has a claim under premises liability laws. In most instances homeowner's insurance pays the injured person.
