Our firm is one of the few in the country practicing extensively in the area of foodborne illness litigation, and we have filed a lawsuit against a cheese manufacturer and retailer in an unrelated E. coli O157 outbreak.

Below is a video regarding the lawsuit filed in the unrelated E. coli outbreak linked to raw milk cheese.

E. coli Outbreak in Oregon, Washington and Possibly Minnesota Prompts Recall of Sally Jackson Cheese

The FDA announced a recall of raw milk cheese made by Sally Jackson Cheese of Oroville, Washington. The recall includes all cheese products made from cow, goat, and sheep milk because they may be contaminated with E coli O157:H7, a dangerous bacteria that can cause bloody diarrhea, dehydration and sometimes hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). E.coli HUS can lead to serious kidney damage, severe hypertension, stroke, seizures, heart failure, pancreatitis and death.

Sally Jackson brand cheeses made from raw cow, goat, and sheep milk were distributed nationwide to restaurants, distributors, and retail stores. The three types of recalled Sally Jackson cheese are all soft raw milk cheeses in various sized pieces. The products do not have labels or codes. The cow and sheep milk cheeses are wrapped in chestnut leaves, the goat cheese is wrapped in grape leaves and all are secured with twine. The cheeses may have an outer wrapping of waxed paper.

According to the FDA:

The products have been identified as a possible source of E. coli infections currently under investigation.   The problem was revealed as a result of follow-up by the FDA of a report of an outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 infections. The notification came from the Washington State Department of Agriculture, Washington Department of Health, and the Oregon Public Health Division.

Victims of this outbreak may have claims against Sally Jackson Cheese, a distributor, a restaurant and/or a retailer. The facts of the case determine who is liable (legally responsible to pay victims compensation) and where a lawsuit should be filed. An experienced attorney should be contacted regarding these issues.

Our law firm currently represents E. coli and HUS victims and have years of experience representing victims of food poisoning against  food manufacturers, restaurants and retailers.

Pritzker Olsen attorneys have appeared on national and local news programs discussing food safety and litigation against food manufacturers, restaurants and others. Our law firm works with local counsel to obtain justice for E. coli victims throughout the United States. To contact the firm, please call toll-free at 1-888-377-8900 or submit the firm's online consultation form.
