The woman became sick in November 2006, and is being represented by Pritzker | Ruohonen attorney Elliot Olsen.  According to Olsen, “These illnesses represent yet another breakdown in a system which seems incapable of protecting the public from contaminated food.  We believe there are other victims out there who have not yet come forward.”
