Cargill Turkey Lawsuit Action Will Stem From Sales Made to 1,373 U.S. Stores
The Cargill ground turkey Salmonella recall -- at 36 million pounds -- has been called one of the largest meat recalls in U.S. history. The contaminated meat from Cargill's turkey plant in Springdale, Arkansas, has been linked by the USDA to an outbreak of Salmonella Heidelberg that killed a woman in California and sickened at least 110 others in 31 states.
Since the recall was announced August 3, the USDA's Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) has compiled a very long list of retail outlets across the country where the ground turkey products were sold. National food safety law firm PritzkerOlsen, P.A., has been accepting cases from this outbreak for a Cargill turkey lawsuit. Texas, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, California, and Pennsylvania are the states hardest hit.
As part of its Cargill turkey Salmonella litigation work, Pritzker Olsen Attorneys has analyzed the retail data and is recommending that consumers consult the complete recall and retail lists to ensure they don't have recalled ground turkey made by Cargill in their home freezers. If you or a family member has experienced Salmonella type symptoms after eating ground turkey, contact your physician immediately.
