Sign Up to File a Lawsuit for Salmonella from Cucumbers
We are a national food safety law firm representing people sickened in Salmonella (salmonellosis) outbreaks linked to cucumbers and other products. On May 31, Fresh Start Produce, based in Delray, FL, issued a recall after the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture detected Salmonella in a cucumber sample from a grocery store. The contaminated cucumbers prompted immediate action due to the potential health risk.
You may have a claim against Fresh Start, a restaurant or retailer and others. Genetic testing is currently underway to determine if the Salmonella strain found matches the one associated with an ongoing Salmonella outbreak. This recall highlights the importance of food safety measures and the need for ongoing vigilance in monitoring produce for harmful pathogens.
What if My Child was Sickened?
Parents can sue on behalf of their children. These lawsuits seek compensation for a child’s pain and suffering, the parents’ loss of income, medical expenses and other damages.
Outbreaks linked to cucumbers often affect children the most.
“My son was diagnosed with Salmonella food poisoning earlier this year. He was vomiting so much that he became extremely dehydrated and spent a day at a hospital emergency room getting IVs. It took him weeks to be anywhere near normal. He will never be compensated for his pain and suffering because the source of his illness was not found. But in this outbreak, the source is known. It is critically important for parents to take legal action on behalf of their children. This is often the only way to hold a company accountable for selling food contaminated with a deadly pathogen.”
We recently represented the family of a very young child who developed meningitis and other severe complications in another Salmonella outbreak linked to another product. This little one’s life was changed permanently because a company put profit before consumer safety.
