E. coli Lawyer to Costco and Bravo Farms: Pay Medical Bills for E. coli Victims
E. coli attorneys at Pritzker Olsen law firm are investigating the E. coli O157:H7 outbreak associated with Bravo Farms Dutch Style Gouda cheese (Costco item number 40654) sold or tasted at Costco stores in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico.
The firm also is attempting to verify if the Bravo Farms Gouda cheese associated with the outbreak was a raw dairy product and whether Costco and Bravo Farms followed company food safety policies.
“The investigation of this outbreak may take time. We are calling on Costco and Bravo Farms to pay the medical bills of the E. coli victims immediately,” said food poisoning attorney Fred Pritzker. “These victims and their families deserve this much while they are waiting for further compensation from the companies for lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress and other damages.”
The Bravo Farms and Costco E. coli outbreak has sickened at least 25 people, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): AZ (11), CA (1), CO (8), NM (3), and NV (2). Nine victims were hospitalized, and one may have developed hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), the leading cause of kidney failure in children in the United States.
E. coli symptoms include severe and often bloody diarrhea and severe abdominal cramps. Children, the elderly, and people with weak immune systems are most at risk for further complications such as E. coli HUS. Hospital bills, other medical expenses and lost wages for E. coli victims can be a financial hardship for families.
