Gouda Cheese E. coli Outbreak Lawsuit Filed
In the video below, Fred Pritzker, a food safety lawyer with Pritzker Olsen law firm, discusses a lawsuit the firm filed in federal court in Arizona involving the Bravo Farms Gouda cheese outbreak that has sickened people in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico.
Our law firm has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a family, four members of which all were sickened with E. coli O157:H7 as a result of eating Bravo Farms Dutch Style Gouda Cheese at a Costco store in Arizona. Testing has confirmed that the E. coli that sickened our clients is the same strain of E. coli O157:H7 that has been linked to the Gouda cheese E. coli outbreak involving Bravo Farms Gouda cheese sold and offered as samples at Costco stores in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico. This is important because we want to make sure that the cases are actually part of the outbreak.
The people in the family became extremely ill, required medical care and went through excruciating discomfort as a result of this outbreak. We have also been retained by a number of other families from this outbreak.
