Michigan E. coli Outbreak Associated with Kroger Ground Beef
Update to the Information Below: Ohio and Michigan E. coli Outbreak Linked to Kroger Ground Beef
According to the CDC, ground beef sold at Kroger grocery stores has been linked with an E. coli outbreak that has sickened people in Michigan and Ohio. Read about the legal implications of this association and a Kroger E. coli lawsuit. In response to this outbreak, Kroger has recalled an undetermined amount of Kroger ground beef products. Read about the Kroger recall.
According to the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH), ground beef sold at Kroger grocery stores has been associated with a Michigan E. coli outbreak that has sickened people in Michigan and Ohio. The MDCH has stated that more than half of the 15 people sickened in Michigan reported buying and eating ground beef from Kroger. This epidemiological evidence of the source of the Michigan E. coli outbreak has legal implications for a possible Kroger E. coli lawsuit.
When epidemiological evidence associates ground beef sold at a grocery store with an E. coli outbreak, that epidemiological evidence can be used by an E. coli lawyer to seek compensation for victims of the E. coli outbreak. Our law firm has successfully used epidemiological to successfully prove “causation,” an element of an E. coli lawsuit that looks at whether the suspected food product was the actual cause of the victim’s E. coli infection and related complications, including hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). HUS is one of the leading causes of kidney failure (renal failure).
We have recovered compensation for victims of E. coli outbreaks involving ground beef sold at grocery stores. We have also recently recovered amounts for families of people who died from E. coli and HUS.
