There have been two new recalls of ground beef:

1. J & B Meats Corporation Inc. has recalled approximately 173,554 pounds of frozen ground beef products because they may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. The recalled ground beef was sold to Sam’s Club and other retail establishments under the Topps and Sam’s Choice brands. More information on the Topps and Sam’s Choice ground beef and E. coli outbreaks associated with Sam’s Club hamburgers can be found on our website, www.pritzkerlaw.com.
2. Arko Veal Company has recalled approximately 1,900 pounds of ground beef products because they may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7. The recalled ground beef was distributed to restaurants in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. There have been no reports of illness.

If you or your child has been diagnosed with E. coli, the likely source of the E. coli is ground beef. In addition to these recalls, over 27 million pounds of ground beef have been recalled in the last few months. To determine the source of the E. coli infection and pursue those responsible, it is critical for you to have DNA fingerprinting done on the E. coli that sickened you or your child. Please contact Pritzker | Ruohonen for information regarding DNA fingerprinting, E. coli lawsuits, or any other legal matter related to your or your child’s E. coli infection. Our toll-free number is 1-888-377-8900, or contact one of our E. coli lawyers by submitting the firm’s online consultation form.
