Papaya Recall Lawsuit
Our attorneys are investigating a papaya recall prompted by an outbreak of Salmonella that has sickened 97 people in 23 states between January 1 and July 18, 2011. “Agromod Produce, Inc., the distributor of the papayas, and all other companies responsible for these illnesses need to be held accountable,” said attorney Fred Pritzker, who represents Salmonella victims nationwide. He and his team of Salmonella lawyers are available for a free consultation for victims of this outbreak.
The number of ill persons identified in each state with the outbreak strain of Salmonella is as follows:
Arkansas (1), Arizona (3), California (7), Colorado (1), Georgia (8), Illinois (17), Louisiana (2), Massachusetts (1), Minnesota (3), Missouri (3), Nebraska (2), Nevada (1), New Jersey (1), New Mexico (3), New York (6), Ohio (1), Oklahoma (1), Pennsylvania (1), Tennessee (1), Texas (25), Virginia (2), Washington (5), and Wisconsin (2).
Prompted by this outbreak, Agromod Produce, Inc. of McAllen, Texas recalled all papayas. Fresh, Whole Papayas were distributed nationwide and to Canada through retail stores and wholesalers.
Agromod is recalling all Blondie, Yaya, Mañanita, and Tastylicious Brand papayas sold prior to July 23, 2011. Each Blondie Brand papaya can be identified by a blue and orange sticker label with green and white lettering on the fruit that states Blondie 4395 Mexico. The Yaya Brand Papayas can be identified by a yellow, red, orange, and green label with white, green and red lettering that reads Yaya Premium Papayas Yaya PLU-4395 Mexico. Each Mañanita Brand Papaya can be identified by a green, yellow and red sticker label that states Mexico Mañanita 4395. The Tastylicious Brand Papayas can be identified by a white and blue sticker with red and white lettering that states 4395 Tastylicious MEXICO.
Recent sampling by the FDA found the outbreak strain in two papaya samples collected at Agromod Produce, Inc. location in McAllen, TX and at the U.S. border destined for Agromod Produce, Inc. The shipments that tested positive with the outbreak strain were not distributed in the U.S. Distribution of the product has been suspended.
