A Minnesota toddler suffering from hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) remained hospitalized Friday as one of four persons whom public health officials believe was sickened by E. coli O157:H7 in raw milk from Hartmann Dairy Farm of Gibbon.
The Hartmann raw milk E. coli outbreak remains under investigation.
If you or a loved one is a victim, your legal questions will be answered free by law firm Pritzker Olsen at 1-888-377-8900 (Toll Free) or 612-338-0202. We currently represent a man paralyzed from pathogens in raw milk.
Paralysis is one of the risks that HUS patients face. The disease, which is prone to attack children, is mostly associated with kidney failure. But our experience with many HUS clients is that the illness can exact many other harms, including anemia, heart problems, brainstem injury and central nervous system disorders.
It is important for any raw milk E. coli lawsuit to address these long-term health problems and related compensation.
The Star Tribune reported today that Minnesota state officials obtained a list of Hartmann milk customers — probably more than 100 names. The state is attempting to reach the families to see if anyone became ill after drinking the product.
By law in Minnesota, raw milk can be sold only occasionally at the farm where it was produced. The Star Tribune reported that two Hartmann customers have told the newspaper they bought their milk through a farm-to-city delivery system. The alleged arrangement is under investigation.
