Dole Spinach Lawsuit – Lawyer and Attorney
Dole Baby Spinach
Dole baby spinach has been linked to the current E. coli O157:H7 outbreak that has sickened over 170 people and killed at least one person. Although other brands of spinach have been implicated in the outbreak, investigators in New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Utah have found E. coli O157:H7 bacteria in 2 bags of Dole baby spinach that have the same “genetic fingerprinting” as the E. coli O157:H7 sickening people throughout the country. Lawsuits have been filed against Dole.
This is the second outbreak linked to a Dole product in a year. Last fall, an E. coli O157:H7 outbreak was linked to Dole bagged salads. Pritzker | Olsen, P.A. was the first law firm to file a lawsuit against Dole in that outbreak.
Dole Spinach Lawsuit: Evidence
In New Mexico, the E. coli-contaminated bag of Dole baby spinach was found in the refrigerator of a man who had contracted an E. coli infection. In Utah, a bag of Dole baby spinach with a use-by date of August 30, 2006. The two bags of Dole baby spinach were packaged at the same plant on the same day.
On September 26, the CDC reported that E. coli O157 was isolated by state public health laboratories in Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Ohio from three more opened packages of spinach. The “DNA fingerprint”of the strain isolated in Pennsylvania matches that of the outbreak strain. “DNA fingerprinting” is underway on the strains isolated in Illinois and Ohio.
According to health officials many victims of the outbreak are indicating that they ate Dole packaged spinach. If you have eaten Dole spinach, keep any leftovers in the bag until you are sure you are not sick. If you do get sick, do not throw the spinach out and do not return it to the store where you bought it or to Dole. Testing can be done on the remaining spinach as was done in New Mexico and Utah. If you have eaten another brand of spinach, you should also save the leftovers until you are sure you are not sick. Any leftovers should be safely contained and labeled, “Do not eat.”
