Massachusetts E. coli Outbreak
Lawyer and Lawsuit
Ground Beef E. coli Lawsuit
Health officials have linked a Massachusetts E. coli outbreak to Nebraska Beef, Ltd. People in 11 other states have also been sickened in this outbreak.
Our law firm has filed a lawsuit in against Kroger Co. and Nebraska Beef, Ltd. on behalf of a victim of the E. coli outbreak that has sickened people in several states. Contact us regarding the lawsuit: 1-888-377-8900 (toll-free) or email attorney Fred Pritzker.
Five of the people sickened in Massachusetts have been hospitalized. About 5% of E. coli infections lead to the development of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a severe illness that can cause kidney failure and seriously damage other organs. We are currently representing a victim of the multi-state ground beef outbreak who is seriously ill with HUS. Contact us regarding HUS and E. coli: 1-888-377-8900 (toll-free) or email attorney Fred Pritzker.
