Nestle Lawsuit:
Lawyer for Toll House E. coli Outbreak Victims

Cookie Dough LawsuitThe following Nestle lawsuit information is provided by Pritzker Olsen attorneys, who have a national reputation in the area of food poisoning litigation, and Pritzker Olsen attorneys are currently representing people sickened in E. coli outbreaks, including E. coli victims that developed hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

E. coli Outbreak Associated with
Nestle Toll House Cookie Dough

June and July 2009 - An E. coli outbreak that has sickened at least 80 people in 31 states may have been caused by E. coli-contaminated Nestle Toll House cookie dough, according to the FDA, CDC and state health officials. E. coli O157:H7 has been found in Nestle Toll House refrigerated cookie dough. Furthermore, an FDA inspection of the Nestle Toll House cookie dough plant found equipment that was not able to be properly cleaned. A 2006 FDA inspection of the plant found 4 deficiencies.

The E. coli victims have suffered serious illness, and some of them have developed hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which often causes kidney failure, brain damage, pancreatitis, heart problems and a host of other health problems. HUS is sometimes fatal.

This is a major outbreak, and consumers are still at risk.

Nestle has recalled Toll House cookie dough products due to this E. coli outbreak. Read about the Toll House recall.
