Minnesota E. coli lawyer Fred Pritzker represents food poisoning victims throughout the United States, including victims of outbreaks linked to raw milk. According to Mr. Pritzker, “We see far too many healthy people catastrophically injured because of poor safety standards in the production of raw milk. Many of our food poisoning clients have developed hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which can cause kidney failure, central nervous system (CNS) injury, heart attack, pancreatitis and other serious health problems. The effects of HUS can last a lifetime, and victims may need a kidney transplant years after developing HUS.”
Today, the Minnesota Department of Health announced that state health officials have linked three cases of E. coli O157:H7 illness with raw milk from Hartmann Dairy Farm in Gibbon, Minnesota (also known as M.O.M.’s). One of the people sickened has developed E. coli HUS.
If you have any of this milk, you should not consume it. If someone has consumed some of the milk, you should not discard the milk until you are sure that the person who consumed the raw milk has not contracted an E. coli infection. If you or someone you loved has been diagnosed with E. coli, contact our law firm.
The Hartmann Dairy raw milk may be labeled organic and consumers may be unaware that the milk has not been pasteurized. In addition, consumers should not eat cheese, ice cream or other dairy products from Hartmann Dairy Farm, which also may have been made from raw, unpasteurized milk, according to the Minnesota Department of Health.
