Egg Salmonella Lawsuit Information

Eggs Salmonella Outbreak
and Restaurant Outbreak Information

Pritzker Olsen law firm is investigating a nationwide increase of Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) infections with an indistinguishable pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) pattern JEGXX01.0004. Contact our law firm for information about using DNA analysis of Salmonella bacteria obtained through diagnostic testing to to determine if you are part of this outbreak.

Eggs Salmonella Outbreak Timeline

In May 2010, CDC identified a nationwide increase in the number of Salmonella Enteritidis isolates with PFGE pattern JEGXX01.0004 uploaded to PulseNet, the national subtyping network made up of state and local public health laboratories and federal food regulatory laboratories that performs molecular surveillance of foodborne infections. The increase represented approximately a four-fold increase over the expected number of reported isolates of this particular PFGE pattern.

Approximately 200 isolates were uploaded to PulseNet on a weekly basis during late June and early July compared to an expected ~50 uploads a week on average during this same period in the previous 5 years. Many states have reported increases of this pattern since May.

Epidemiologic investigations conducted by public health officials in California, Colorado, and Minnesota have revealed several restaurants or events where more than one ill person with the outbreak strain has eaten. Preliminary data suggests that shell eggs are a likely source of infections in many of these restaurants or events.

State health departments, FDA, and CDC, conducted a traceback and found many of these restaurants or events received shell eggs from a single firm, Wright County Egg, in Galt, Iowa. FDA is currently conducting an extensive investigation at the firm in Iowa. The investigation includes CDC participation and involves sampling, records review and looking for potential sources of contamination, such as feed.

Eggs Recall Information

On August 13 and August 18, 2010, Wright County Egg of Galt, Iowa, recalled over 300 million eggs. On August 20, 2010, Hillandale Farms recalled over 100 million eggs. Read more egg recall information.

Compensation for Salmonella Enteritidis Infection

A person infected with the Salmonella enteritidis bacterium usually has fever, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea beginning 12 to 72 hours after consuming a contaminated food or beverage. If you have had a Salmonella enteritidis infection (salmonellosis), you know that the pain severe and the vomiting violent.  You may never have been as sick in your life.  You should be compensated for this and any medical expenses by the company that caused your pain. 

The elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems may have a more severe illness. In these patients, the infection may spread from the intestines to the blood stream, and then to other body sites and can cause death unless the person is treated promptly with antibiotics.  In addition, in some cases Salmonella enteritidis victims develop a reactive arthritis called Reiter’s syndrome.

Salmonella enteritidis victims may be able to receive compensation for the following:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Disability
  • Loss of quality of life
