What Green Cedar Cheese Consumers Should Know About Listeria Danger
The Michigan Listeria outbreak that has infected at least two people and led to the recall of All Natural Ackawi Cheese and All Natural Chives Cheese from Green Cedar Dairy of Dearborn is being investigated by Listeria lawyer Fred Pritzker and members of his national food safety law firm.
Michigan agriculture and health officials found Listeria monocytogenes in samples of cheese that had been distributed to bakeries and retail stores in the greater Dearborn and Detroit areas, including Macomb , Oakland and Wayne Counties. The cheese has a sell by date up to July 1, 2012. The product is sold in approximately 12-14 oz. squares vacuum sealed in clear plastic.
In Listeria outbreaks, it is important for victims and their families to understand their legal rights and remedies. A good Listeria attorney will have the experience needed to know who is responsible for the harm done to you and how best to proceed with a lawsuit.

Listeria outbreak litigation
Although Listeria tends to infect fewer people, it is typically deadlier than other foodborne pathogens and inordinately affects the elderly, newborns, pregnant women and anyone with a weakened immune system. The organism can result in fetal death or miscarriage and some people develop meningitis.
The nation's worst Listeria outbreak ever occurred earlier this year, killing 31 people who were infected by contaminated cantaloupe from Jensen Farms in Colorado. Pritzker Olsen was involved in that outbreak as attorney for victims and litigation is ongoing.
