Zillman Meat Market E coli Lawsuit
Seven persons have developed E. coli O45 poisoning from eating smoked ready-to-eat meat products processed at Zillman Meat Market in Wausau, WI. At least one person was hospitalized.
Four of the people sickened are from Wisconsin and three are from Michigan.
Persons who became ill ate ready-to-eat custom smoked meat products made from wild game processed from September 30, 2010 through November 13, 2010. Wild bear and venison processed at Zillman Meat Market have tested positive for E. coli O45. An investigation to determine the original source and extent of the contamination is ongoing.
This E. coli O45 outbreak has prompted the Marathon County, Wisconin Department of Health to advise persons not to eat or serve any ready-to-eat smoked meat products purchased from Zillman Meat Market. This includes smoked ready-to-eat meat products, both custom and retail, purchased at the store.
The incubation period for E. coli infection ranges from 1 to 8 days, though typically it is 3 to 5 days. Signs and symptoms of illness include the following:
- Abdominal cramping that can be severe
- Diarrhea that can be watery or bloody
- Vomiting
- Fever that is likely to be low grade
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 E. coli victims nationwide, including victims who develop HUS and TTP. We have recovered millions from meat processors who sold products contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 and other strains of E. coli.
