HoneyBaked Ham and Turkey Recall: Listeria Lawyer
The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has been informed of 7 cases of self-reported illnesses that may be related to HoneyBaked ham and turkey recalled on November 24, 2006, due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. (For extensive Listeria information, please see our website.) The consumers involved in these reports are located in California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada and Texas. The recalled HoneyBaked ham and turkey was sold nationwide through internet and telephone catalogue sales, as well as at retail establishments and kiosks in Toledo, Ohio. The ham and turkey products were sold before Thanksgiving between September 5 and November 15.
One has to question the timing of the recall notice, the day after Thanksgiving. This was obviously an economic move and put the public at risk.
If you have eaten any recalled product, you should label it “Do not eat!” and keep it until you are sure you are not infected with Listeria bacteria, up to 70 days after consumption of the product. For your records, please write down the day you bought the HoneyBaked ham or turkey, the day you ate it and when your symptoms started. If you or a family member is diagnosed with listeriosis (Listeria infection), you should immediately contact Pritzker | Ruohonen for a free consultation. Our lawyers will make sure the correct testing is done to protect your legal rights. Even if you do not have any leftover ham or turkey, genetic testing may be able to link your Listeria infection to the HoneyBaked product. Please call 1-888-377-8900, e-mail Fred Pritzker at fhp@pritzkerlaw.com or fill out the online-consultation form.
Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infections can cause listerial meningitis and other serious illness in the elderly and people with compromised immune systems. Listeria can also infect the placenta of a pregnant woman and cause a miscarriage or stillbirth. If a baby is born after contracting a Listeria infection (listeriosis), serious illness or death may occur. for more information, please see the following information on our website:
