MAMA SBARRO’S LAWSUIT DUE TO TYPHOID FEVER: March 22, 2008 - People who ate at Mama Sbarro’s in Hicksville, New York, between March 14th and March 16th are at risk for contracting typhoid fever. A food handler at Mama Sbarro’s has been diagnosed with typhoid fever, a life-threatening illness caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi that manifests as an infection of the intestinal tract and, occasionally, the bloodstream. Typhoid fever is spread through the feces and, to some extent, the urine of infected people.
If you have been exposed:
- Carefully wash your hands after using the toilet and before and after food preparation.
- Use separate towels when drying hands.
- Watch for symptoms of typhoid fever (Salmonella Typhi), including fever, headache, weakness, loss of appetite, stomach pains, constipation or diarrhea, and in some cases, a rash of flat, rose-colored spots. Symptoms of typhoid fever generally appear one to three weeks after exposure.
- The only way to know for sure if an illness is typhoid fever is to have samples of stool or blood tested for the presence of Salmonella Typhi, so anyone experiencing symptoms should seek medical attention.
- For legal purposes, it is critical that a doctor diagnose typhoid fever.
- If you are diagnosed with typhoid fever, contact a lawyer immediately regarding a Mama Sbarro’s lawsuit.
When food prepared by a restaurant makes people sick, the restaurant is liable for the resulting damages, which can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and disability. In these cases, it is not necessary for the specific food source of the outbreak to be pinpointed. We recently settled a Salmonella case where DNA fingerprinting associated several cases of Salmonella to a restaurant. Even though the specific food source of the outbreak was not pinpointed, we obtained compensation from the restaurant for our clients. A lawyer should be contacted regarding restaurant liability and a Mama Sbarro's lawsuit.
