Peppa's Korean Barbecue E. coli Outbreak

E. coli Using epidemiological evidence, the Hawaii Department of Health associated an E. coli outbreak with Peppa’s II Korean BBQ in Honolulu in March of 2010. At least 7 people were sickened. Four of the 7 were hospitalized and one is still in serious condition. According to the health department, the Honolulu-area E. coli victims were diagnosed from March 2 -23.

E. coli infection can develop into hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and/or thrombotic thrombocytopenic pupura (TTP). These illnesses are closely related and involve destruction of red blood cells (HUS) and platelets (TTP).

Our law firm represents HUS and TTP victims and their families. We have recovered millions from restaurants who served contaminated food. With epidemiological and microbiological evidence, restaurants can be held accountable for both illnesses of people who ate at the restaurant and others who were sickened by the outbreak-strain of E. coli O157:H7 but did not eat at the restaurant.

Some of the serious complications of HUS and TTP include the following:

Kidney failure (renal failure), which poisons the body with toxins that would have been excreted in urine (uremia)
Pancreatitis
Seizures
Coma
Stroke
Encephalopathy
Heart attack and heart failure
Death

Peppa's E. coli Lawsuit: Liability and Compensation

Victim Compensation Restaurant E. coli outbreaks can be caused by food that was contaminated before it got to the restaurant, food contaminated at the restaurant, contaminated water or a sick food handler who does not wash his or her hands adequately. In each of these cases, the restaurant can be held liable for all damages to the E. coli O157:H7 victims. Because the Hawaii Health Department is still investigating this outbreak, it is not clear who all of the defendants would be in a Peppa’s E. coli lawsuit.

Compensation generally includes amounts for the following:

Medical expenses
Lost income
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Disability
Loss of quality of life
Other damages
