The most current information from the New Mexico Department of Health:
To date, the New Mexico Department of Health (DOH) has identified ten patients hospitalized with Listeria infection in the last 3 weeks, including 3 fatalities. New Mexico’s fatal cases include: a 93-year-old man from Bernalillo County, a 61-year-old female from Curry County, and a 63-year-old man from Bernalillo County. All other New Mexico cases have been or are currently hospitalized and come from Bernalillo, Chaves, Otero, De Baca, Valencia and Lea counties. The ill people range in age from the 43 to 96 and include 4 men and 6 women. Illness onset ranges from August 20th to early September.
Attorney Pritzker is warning consumers to stay alert for symptoms of Listeria monocytogenes infection because the onset of illness can happen several days after consumption of tainted food. If an individual experiences symptoms, they should immediately contact a physician and then contact our law firm.
