Souplantation Shigella Outbreak in Pasadena

PASADENA SOUPLANTATION RESTAURANT LAWSUIT INFORMATION: Pritzker Olsen, a leading food poisoning litigation law firm, is investigating claims arising out of the Shigella outbreak linked to a Souplantation restaurant in Pasadena, California.  The Pasadena Public Health Department’s ongoing Shigella food poisoning outbreak investigation, in coordination with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, has identified a total of 44 confirmed or suspected cases linked to the Souplantation in Pasadena on Lake Avenue.  Thirteen of these cases have been verified by laboratory testing and the samples are undergoing additional testing to determine if the strain is related to any other outbreaks throughout the country. 

Additional reported cases are awaiting confirmation and are still being investigated. The suspected or confirmed cases are residents from Pasadena and other cities within the Los Angeles County area. The Department is working closely with both the state and county’s departments of public health on this disease investigation.

“At this stage of the investigation,” said Dr. Takashi Wada, public health director and health officer, “we have narrowed down the site of the outbreak to customers who ate at the Soup Plantation at 201 Lake Avenue in Pasadena during the dates of Sunday, July 22 through Tuesday, July 24.” 

Health officials have not determined the source of the outbreak.  Legally, it is not critical that the source of the Souplantation Shigella outbreak be found.  Even if the food source of an outbreak is not determined, restaurants are liable for injury and death caused by the restaurant.  We have successfully represented people sickened in a foodborne outbreak where the exact source of the outbreak was not conclusively determined.

The Shigella lawyers at Pritzker | Olsen, P.A. are tough negotiators and have extensive experience with Shigella cases.  Even if cases are being settled quickly for inadequate amounts (something that has happened in foodborne illness outbreaks), we continue to pursue adequate compensation for our clients.  To contact a Shigella lawyer at Pritzker | Olsen, P.A. about Shigella food poisoning, call toll-free at 1-888-377-8900 or submit the online consultation form
