Egg Lawsuit Attorneys To Inspect Farms
Egg lawsuit attorneys from PritzkerOlsen, P.A., will inspect the facilities of Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms this week to bolster Salmonella egg litigation on behalf of outbreak victims nationwide. The lawyers’ on-site investigation comes after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found a shocking list of unsafe conditions including uncaged hens on overflowing piles of manure.

Attorneys Brendan Flaherty and Ryan Osterholm, along with poultry processing and products microbiology professor Dr. Scott Russell, will tour Hillandale Farms in New Hampton, Iowa on September 30 and Wright County Egg in Galt, Iowa, on October 5. Both attorneys will be available for media interviews before and after the inspections.Flaherty says the purpose of the inspection is to document and allow the firm's experts to analyze what went wrong. Another part of the mission is to find out whether anything was covered up or altered. Flaherty explains that the owners are under a duty to preserve the conditions which led to over 1,600 outbreak cases of Salmonella Enteritidis.
PritzkerOlsen has been contacted by hundreds of people affected by the egg Salmonella outbreak and is continuing to accept cases from those who have been sickened. The outbreak began in May, peaked in July and has continued into September, spawning an egg class action lawsuit. PritzkerOlsen filed the first egg lawsuit in Minnesota on behalf of a woman sickened in June from a restaurant outbreak traced by state health investigators to Hillandale Farms.
Pritzker Olsen also represents the families of three who died in the Peanut Corporation of America Salmonella outbreak in 2009. Recent congressional hearings have unearthed that PCA and Wright County Egg used AIB, the same auditing firm, to rate their food safety practices.
