Colorado Buffalo E. coli Lawsuit Pending
A woman from Lakewood, Colorado, who was hospitalized with an E. coli infection after eating Buffalo from Rocky Mountain Natural Meats has retained law firm Pritzker Olsen to file a lawsuit on her behalf.
Fred Pritzker, founder and president of the national food safety law firm, said a Rocky Mountain Natural Meats E. coli lawsuit will be filed in Jefferson County, Colorado.
The client purchased the tainted buffalo from a King Soopers supermarket before USDA’s Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) announced a recall late last week of 66,000 pounds of ground buffalo and other buffalo products. Health officials confirmed that she was infected with the same strain of E. coli O157:H7 as a group of other Colorado residents.
Health investigators have associated the cluster of potentially deadly bacterial infections with ground buffalo from Rocky Mountain Natural Meats. At least one person from New York also has been sickened by the outbreak strain of E. coli.
Brands included in the Colorado buffalo recall are Great Range Ground Bison and Nature’s Rancher Ground Buffalo.
