Aunt Mid's Lawsuit Information
Health officials have associated cases of E. coli O157:H7 with bagged, industrial-sized packages of iceberg lettuce sold by Aunt Mid's Produce Company to restaurants and institutions.
Evidence in an Aunt Mid's Lawsuit: Epidemiological evidence gathered by federal, state and local health officials is admissible in an E. coli lawsuit. In this outbreak, the epidemiological evidence includes interviews conducted by health officials. These interviews have determined that some of the people sickened in this E. coli outbreak consumed shredded or chopped iceberg lettuce in restaurants or institutions purchased from Aunt Mid’s Produce Company, a Detroit-based wholesale distributor.
Microbiological evidence gathered, tested and analyzed by health officials is also admissible in an E. coli lawsuit. In this outbreak, genetic testing has identified victims of this E. coli outbreak in Michigan, Illinois, New York, Ohio and Oregon. Additional tests are stilll in progress, including tests on lettuce samples.
Hospitalizations: Of the E. coli O157:H7 cases that are genetically linked, 10 have been hospitalized. If you have been hospitalized, you deserve compensation, even if you were only hospitalized for a short period of time.
