National food safety law firm Pritzker Olsen Attorneys is investigating claims related to a possible multi-state outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 related to cantaloupe.

Please contact us as soon as possible if you or someone you know has been diagnosed with an E. coli 0157:H7 infection that coud have been caused by eating contaminated cantaloupe. E. coli attorneys at the firm can be contacted at 1-888-377-8900 (toll free) or write to us online for a free case consultation.

E. coli 0157:H7 is a serious health threat, especially to young children, the elderly and others with weakened immune systems. Especially among those populations, infection can lead to hospitalization and kidney malfunction. And patients who are given antibiotics for an E. coli infection are at greater risk of developing Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), the leading cause of E. coli deaths.

Other health risks of E. coli O157:H7 poisoning include abnormal kidney function, blindness, Hemorrhagic Colitis, high blood pressure, paralysis, seizures and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, a disease in adults that carries the risk of stroke, seizures and central nervous system deterioration.
 
Pritzker Olsen has years of experience representing E. coli victims and their families. The firm has recovered millions of dollars for its food poisoning clients and is dedicated to educating the public about food safety issues, while lobbying for more effective legislation to protect the U.S. food supply from deadly pathogens. It is one of the few law firms in the country that practices extensively in the area of foodborne illness litigation.
