California Romaine Lettuce E. coli Lawsuit

In May, 2008 ten people became ill with E. coli infections after eating romaine lettuce in restaurants and cafeterias in Thurston and Pierce counties of Washington State.  The E. coli outbreak was traced to commercial, bagged romaine lettuce from Salinas Valley, CA.  One of the victims was a student at Pacific Lutheran University in Parkland, WA who ate all of her meals on campus.  Marler Clark filed an E. coli lawsuit on December 4, 2008.  The firm also represents a woman who developed hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) as a result of consuming contaminated lettuce in this outbreak.
