Hot Dog Recall: Listeria and Lawyer with Lawsuit Experience

On July 25, 2006, the USDA-FSIS announced a recall of Orientex Manila Style Hot Dogs due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The following hot dog products are subject to recall:

  • 12-ounce packages of "ORIENTEX MANILA STYLE HOT DOGS." Each package bears the establishment number "Est. 17480" inside the USDA mark of inspection, as well as the product code, "065000717."

The Orientex Manila Style Hot Dogs were produced on July 17, 2006 and were distributed to a retail outlet in San Leandro, CA.

The problem was discovered through FSIS microbiological testing. FSIS has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of this product.

Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially fatal disease. Healthy people rarely contract listeriosis. However, listeriosis can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea. Listeriosis can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths, as well as serious and sometimes fatal infections in those with weakened immune systems, such as infants, the elderly and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy.
