Hoss's Steak E. coli

HOSS'S STEAK LAWSUIT: The law firm of PritzkerOlsen, P.A. is monitoring the possible E. coli outbreak linked to Hoss's Steak and Sea Restaurants in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. Steaks, ground beef patties, and other cuts of meat used at Hoss's Steak and Sea Restaurants were recalled due to possible contamination with E. coli O157:H7. Several people may have contracted E. coli infections after eating at these restaurants.

PritzkerOlsen, P.A. is a leading E. coli litigation law firm and has recovered millions of dollars for food poisoning victims, including a recent settlement for $6,425,000. E. coli attorney Fred Pritzker has gained a national reputation in this area and has been interviewed by the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and other publications. In recognition of his accomplishments, he was selected by other attorneys for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America.

Hoss's Steak Lawsuit: E. coli Contamination of Steaks and other Cuts of Meat
An investigation carried out by FSIS and the Pennsylvania Department of Health has linked several illnesses to steak products produced at the plant for Hoss's Family Steak and Sea Restaurants, a Pennsylvania-based restaurant chain. E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacteria that can cause bloody diarrhea and dehydration. The very young, seniors and persons with compromised immune systems are the most susceptible to foodborne illness.

Generally, steaks are not considered a high-risk source of E. coli O157: H7. However, the products subject to recall were injected with tenderizers and flavor-enhancing solutions, and that process may have transferred the bacteria from the surface to the inside of the product.
