E Coli Lawyer & Attorney : Marler Clark Law Firm : E. coli Blog

Marti Davis of the Knoxville News Sentinel spoke with the McDonald family, whose two children became ill with E. coli infections last fall after eating Cargill ground beef patties.  Davis noted that only John McDonald, the children's father, has eaten ground beef since his children's illness.  The rest of the family has not reintroduced ground beef into their diet since September.  She wrote:

That's when preschoolers John and Michaela McDonald shared a burger that led to a prolonged stay in intensive care and cost 4-year-old John part of his bowel and colon. Jim and Georgia McDonald, parents of four, purchased the frozen hamburgers at Sam's Club near their West Knoxville home a few days before the patties were recalled.

Surgery to bypass John's digestive tract was reversed in December, and both children are well for now, Jim McDonald said, but no members of his family, other than himself, have eaten ground beef since the illness.

His children were hospitalized a few days after the family prepared the beef at a cookout, unaware of the recall. They were among victims nationwide who became ill from tainted burgers prepared by the Cargill Co., an international agribusiness giant based in Minnesota.

Davis is following claims brought by the McDonald family, who is represented by Marler Clark.  The family filed a lawsuit against Cargill last year, but has withdrawn the lawsuit in the hopes that Cargill will compensate the children for injuries they sustained through mediation instead of a jury trial.

20-year-old Stephanie Smith awoke from nine weeks in a medically-induced coma shortly before Christmas.  Smith became ill with an E. coli infection in September after eating a contaminated hamburger, and has since been hospitalized with hemolytic uremic syndrome.  Britt Johnsen from the St. Cloud Times wrote about the girl's illness:

Doctors aren’t sure if she’ll ever make a full recovery. But next week they hope to move her from the intensive care unit to a neurology recovery unit, said her mother, Sharon Smith.

“I’m a little scared. I just hope her mind’s OK, for her sake,” she said.

Smith, who was a Just For Kix dance instructor, got sick after she ate ground beef that was part of a Sam’s Club recall. She was diagnosed with hemolytic uremic syndrome, which happens when E. coli toxins enter the bloodstream.

WCCO's John Lauritsen also covered Stephanie's story:

"The last time I was there, which was a couple days ago, she cried when I left. She's moving her fingers and she winks now," said Sharon Smith [Stephanie's mom].

Every little movement Stephanie Smith makes is a step in the right direction. Especially considering that during the Thanksgiving holiday doctors told Sharon Smith they couldn't do any more for her daughter. Until recently, every time they would try and take her out of her coma Stephanie Smith would have a seizure.

On October 6, 2007, Cargill Meat Solutions Corporation announced that it was recalling approximately 845,000 pounds of frozen ground beef patties for possible E. coli O157:H7 contamination. The recall was initiated after three people in Minnesota tested positive for E. coli and a joint investigation by the Minnesota Department of Health and Minnesota Department of Agriculture identified the Cargill hamburger patties as the source of the illnesses.

The Cargill products were sold at retail establishments and to restaurants and other institutions. Sam’s Club announced that it was pulling the potentially E. coli-contaminated ground beef patties produced by Cargill from its store shelves nationwide on October 5th.

The year 2007 is going to be remembered for the big beef recalls due to E. coli returning with a vengeance. All totaled meat producers were forced to recall over 33.3 million pounds of beef products.

Topping the list was the 21.7 million pound recall due to E. coli that sent the New Jersey-based Topps Foods into bankruptcy. When United Food Group in June was forced to recall 5.7 million pounds of E. coli-laced ground beef, no one would have guessed it was going to lead to a second half of 2007 that found E. coli in beef just like the bad old days.

E. coli forced the recall of 3.3 million pounds of Totino’s and Jeno’s frozen meat pizzas. In two separate recalls, Cargill had to recall over 1.9 million pounds of beef they had contaminated with the deadly E. coli pathogen.

Most of the big recalls of 2007 remain on the active case list of the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The percentage of recalled products actually returned to manufacturers is often pretty low.

Marler Clark filed a lawsuit today in United States District Court for the District of Minnesota on behalf of Knoxville, Tennessee, residents Jim and Georgia McDonald and their two children, who both became ill with E. coli O157:H7 infections and were hospitalized after eating hamburgers made from Cargill ground beef patties in September. 

According to the complaint, the McDonald family purchased Cargill ground beef patties on September 17^th and cooked and ate the hamburgers on September 29^th. Four-year-old John McDonald was seen in the emergency room on October 3, where he was treated for dehydration and released. The next day, he was taken by ambulance to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital, and was admitted. While hospitalized, John developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, pancreatitis, compromised liver function, and bowel necrosis. He was later transferred to the University of Tennessee Medical Center for dialysis, and on October 16^th underwent surgery to have part of his bowel removed. After nearly a month’s hospitalization, John was discharged from the hospital on October 29, but has not yet fully recovered from his E. coli infection and the following complications. 

One-year-old Michaela McDonald fell ill with symptoms of E. coli infection about a day after John, and was treated for dehydration at the emergency room on October 5^th. By October 7, Michaela’s symptoms had not improved, and she was admitted to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital. When her brother was transferred to the University of Tennessee Medical Center, Michaela was also transferred. She remained hospitalized for over a week.

Cargill Meat Solutions Recalls Ground Beef - Action due to E. coli O157:H7 contamination

According to Cargill and FSIS press releases: Cargill Meat Solutions said it is voluntarily recalling approximately 1,084,384 pounds of ground beef produced at its Wyalusing, Pa., Cargill Regional Beef facility because of the possible presence of E. coli O157:H7. The ground beef products subject to recall were produced at the Wyalusing plant between Oct. 8 and 11, 2007, and were distributed to retailers nationwide.  Cargill learned of the possibility of contamination after the U.S. Department of Agriculture returned a confirmed positive on a sample of product produced Oct. 8, 2007.

Each package or label bears the establishment number “Est. 9400” inside the USDA mark of inspection. As the use/freeze-by dates for products subject to this recall have expired, consumers are urged to look in their freezers for these products and return or discard them if found.  In addition to the below listed products, there are various weights and varieties of ground beef, ground chuck, and ground sirloin product that were distributed for further processing and repackaging and will not bear the same establishment number on the package.  I love this logo from the Cargill website:

NEWS RELEASE
For further information contact:
Suzanne Schreck
(206) 346-1879
sschreck@marlerclark.com

Marler Clark filed the firm’s second E. coli lawsuit against Cargill today on behalf of Elk River, Minnesota, residents John and Barb Reber and their son, Scott, who became ill with an E. coli infection and was hospitalized for three days after eating a hamburger made from a Cargill ground beef patty. This lawsuit was filed in Sherburne County District Court.

According to the complaint, Scott Reber ate a hamburger made from a Cargill ground beef patty on September 22. By September 25, Scott had developed a gastrointestinal illness with symptoms typical of E. coli infection, and was hospitalized on September 28. While he was hospitalized, Scott’s parents learned that a stool specimen submitted for testing had tested positive for E. coli O157:H7. 

“To date, Cargill has made no effort to compensate my clients for medical expenses or lost wages even though its product has been definitively linked to their illnesses,” said William Marler, managing partner of Marler Clark, who is in Minneapolis mediating E. coli cases stemming from the September 2006 spinach-related E. coli outbreak and this summer’s E. coli outbreak linked to ground beef sold at Lunds and Byerly’s stores near Minneapolis.

“It’s time players in the meat industry, the USDA, and other entities involved in ensuring meat safety stepped up to the plate and stopped talking about putting food safety first and put money where their mouths are,” Marler added.

BACKGROUND: William Marler has been involved in E. coli cases since the Jack in the Box outbreak of 1993, when he won a settlement of $15.6 million for nine-year-old Brianne Kiner. His firm, Marler Clark, has prosecuted dozens of E. coli cases in Minnesota, including those related to the 2007 ground beef E. coli outbreak traced to PM Beef Holdings and Lunds Food Holdings; the 2006 E. coli outbreak stemming from consumption of E. coli-contaminated ground beef produced by Nebraska Beef and sold at Supervalu, then served at a church supper in Longville, Minnesota; the 2006 E. coli outbreak traced to the consumption of Dole brand baby spinach; a 2006 E. coli outbreak at Taco John’s restaurants that was ultimately traced back to E. coli-contaminated lettuce; an E. coli outbreak in 2001 that was traced to a China Buffet restaurant; and an E. coli outbreak in 2000 linked to ground beef produced by AFG and sold by Supervalu and Cub Foods.

Bill Marler, the Seattle attorney who has dedicated his law practice to representing victims of E. coli and other foodborne illness outbreaks, called today on Cargill to front medical costs for victims of an E. coli outbreak traced to the company’s frozen ground beef patties. Victims of the outbreak include families of children who have been hospitalized in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Tennessee, and North Carolina.

“Without assistance in the form of monetary compensation for medical expenses and lost wages, many of the families with members in the hospital will face financial hardship in the coming months when the bills start coming in,” said Marler, who filed a lawsuit against Cargill on behalf of a Minnesota family yesterday. “Cargill should do the right thing and begin compensating victims of this outbreak for those most basic needs now. Of course, Cargill will still be responsible for the costs of long-term medical care for victims, but it is better to step up now,” Marler added.

Marler noted that other companies like Dole, Odwalla, ConAgra and Jack in the Box willingly paid medical bills and wage loss when their products were identified as the source of E. coli outbreaks. “Cargill knows it’s going to pay those medical expenses in the end in the form of a settlement or jury verdict,” Marler continued. “The question is, since they know their product was the cause of these kids’ illnesses, why wait?”

BACKGROUND: Marler represented Brianne Kiner in her $15.6 million settlement with Jack in the Box after its 1993 E. coli outbreak. Since that time, he has represented hundreds of victims of E. coli, including dozens of children and adults who have developed hemolytic uremic syndrome and required life-long monitoring and medical treatment. Marler Clark has represented victims of high-profile E. coli outbreaks traced to ConAgra, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, AFG, Supervalu, Sizzler, and Dole, and recently filed a lawsuit against Topps.

An E. coli lawsuit was filed today in Minnesota against Cargill Meat Solutions Corporation, the meat company whose frozen ground beef products were identified as the source of an E. coli O157:H7 outbreak in September and October. The lawsuit was filed in Dakota County District Court on behalf of Dakota County residents Eric and Jennifer Gustafson and their two children, Callie and Carson, who both suffered E. coli infections after eating Cargill ground beef patties at a barbecue in September. Callie’s E. coli infection led to hemolytic uremic syndrome, and she was hospitalized for seven days. 

The Gustafson children’s cases were two of three E. coli cases that triggered an investigation by the Minnesota Department of Health and Minnesota Department of Agriculture which eventually led to Cargill’s recall of 845,000 pounds of frozen ground beef patties for E. coli contamination on October 6, 2007. The Cargill products were sold at retail establishments, including Sam’s Club, and to restaurants and other institutions throughout the United States. Since the investigation began in Minnesota, E. coli illnesses tied to Cargill ground beef products have been identified in Minnesota (5), Wisconsin (5), North Carolina (2) and Tennessee (3). Many of the E. coli cases involve children or young adults with HUS. According to news reports, children in Minnesota and Tennessee still remain hospitalized in critical condition.

“This is not the first time that Cargill or one of its many subsidiaries has had E. coli-related problems that led to illness,” said William Marler of Marler Clark, the Gustafsons’ attorney, who pointed out that he has represented victims of prior E. coli outbreaks traced to Cargill products. “In 2000, Cargill was implicated as the seller of E. coli-contaminated meat during the Milwaukee Sizzler E. coli outbreak that sickened 60 and killed one young girl. In July 2001, Cargill recalled 200,000 pounds of ground beef after being linked to an illness in Georgia. And again in 2002, Cargill sickened 57 in Wisconsin and Minnesota and recalled over 500,000 pounds of contaminated ground beef.”

Since spring of 2007, nearly 30 million pounds of ground beef has been recalled in the United States. Marler added, “It seems like the wheels are coming off the beef industry. With millions of pounds of meat pulled from shelves and hundreds sickened, there must be a through investigation of an industry clearly out of control.”

BACKGROUND: William Marler has been involved in E. coli cases since the Jack in the Box outbreak of 1993, when he won a settlement of $15.6 million for nine-year-old Brianne Kiner. His firm, Marler Clark, has prosecuted dozens of E. coli cases in Minnesota, including those related to the 2007 ground beef E. coli outbreak traced to PM Beef Holdings and Lunds Food Holdings; the 2006 E. coli outbreak stemming from consumption of E. coli-contaminated ground beef produced by Nebraska Beef and sold at Supervalu, then served at a church supper in Longville, Minnesota; the 2006 E. coli outbreak traced to the consumption of Dole brand baby spinach; a 2006 E. coli outbreak at Taco John’s restaurants that was ultimately traced back to E. coli-contaminated lettuce; an E. coli outbreak in 2001 that was traced to a China Buffet restaurant; and an E. coli outbreak in 2000 linked to ground beef produced by AFG and sold by Supervalu and Cub Foods.

Three students from Wisconsin and two North Carolina children were added to the number of E. coli illnesses caused by consumption of E. coli-contaminated ground beef patties produced by Cargill and sold by Sam's Club today.  The students, from Marquette in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, all ate hamburgers served at a cookout before a soccer game on campus, according to news reports.  The children, from Durham and Orange Counties in North Carolina, had both attended a cookout where hamburgers were served, according to public health officials.

And in Great Falls, Montana, the Great Falls Tribune published an editorial that focused on the recent recalls and meat safety.  Excerpts from the editorial follow.  First, the writer focuses on the large number of recalls - and not just food recalls - impacting Americans today:

Can you ever recall so many recalls?

What's most disturbing is that, with both the tainted toys and the ground beef, children are those most threatened by the health hazards. That and the fact that the products found their way to so many American toy boxes and dinner plates before consumers were alerted to the risk.

The headlines hit home again in Great Falls Saturday when Sam's Club stores recalled ground beef patties contaminated by E. coli bacteria. After four Minnesota children were sickened by the tainted meat, Sam's Club pulled more than 840,000 pounds of patties nationwide.

Then, the writer addresses the fact that in the Topps case, federal investigators and Topps were aware that there was E. coli contamination in Topps meats for weeks before the product was recalled:

We understand the agency's hesitancy to order truckloads of fresh beef to the landfill. The recall shut down the Topps plant in Newark, N.J., a family business established in 1940. Some 87 people lost their jobs.

The ripple effect may even be felt here in cattle country as the most finicky consumers cut beef patties from their grocery lists, at least for a while.

But the agency's bottom line is the protection of human and animal health, not protection of the marketplace. And consumer trust in beef products is worth more than the fallout from one recall, no matter how damaging.

The editorial concludes with a suggestion that consumers start using meat thermometers to determine whether their hamburgers and other beef products are cooked to a temperature hot enough to kill E. coli O157:H7 and other pathogens, but in all reality, E. coli shouldn't be getting in ground beef to begin with.

Mark Johnson reported in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel this morning that at least five Wisconsinites have been diagnosed with E. coli recently, and that health officials are working to determine whether the Wisconsin cases have a link to earlier cases reported in Minnesota that were traced back to consumption of E. coli-contaminated hamburgers produced by Cargill and sold at Sam's Club.

One of the victims, an 18-year-old Milwaukee woman, has been confirmed to be suffering from an E. coli infection induced by the same strain of E. coli found in Minnesota children who ate Cargill-brand hamburgers and became ill.  The other cases are under investigation and more lab tests are pending.  All attended a private function before becoming ill.  According to the Journal-Sentinel:

Milwaukee Health Commissioner Bevan K. Baker announced Monday that the local E. coli cases were among five in Wisconsin that officials are investigating for possible links to the Minnesota cases. The 18-year-old woman linked to the Minnesota cases is the only Wisconsin person whom officials have described. Baker would not disclose the ages, genders or conditions of any of the other state residents sickened by E. coli.

Baker did say that more tests are being conducted to determine whether any of the other Wisconsin cases share the same strain of E. coli as the Minnesota cases.

The reports of E. coli cases in Wisconsin first surfaced late last week. The meat involved was said to have been purchased from retailers, including Sam's Club, Biedrzycki said.
