Listeria Cantaloupe Lawsuit: Outbreak Death Toll Climbs to 18 in 8 States
Five more Listeria deaths have been recorded in the Jensen Farms cantaloupe Listeria outbreak that has now killed 18 people and sickened 100 in 20 states. National food safety law firm PritzkerOlsen, P.A., is continuing to accept new cases for a Listeria cantaloupe lawsuit.

Colorado's Listeria death toll grew from two to five since September 27, the last time an official count was announced by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In addition, the CDC said 30 Coloradans have been sickened, 15 more than were reported ill in the last report. Colorado is the epicenter of this outbreak because Jensen Farms is located in Granada, Colorado, and state health officials were the first to scientifically link the outbreak to Jensen cantaloupes. The whole melons were distributed to at least 24 states before all were recalled on September 14.
