New Mexico Listeria Outbreak: Rocky Ford Cantaloupe Grown in Colorado Likely Source
Our Listeria lawyers are investigating a New Mexico Listeria outbreak that has been linked to cantaloupe grown in the Rocky Ford area in Colorado. Nine people in New Mexico were sickened in the outbreak. Three of them died.
Listeria attorney Fred Pritzker has represented many Listeria victims and their families:
“Listeria contamination is preventable with good sanitation. The grower and all responsible parties need to be held accountable for these tragic deaths and illnesses.”
In a case involving another outbreak, Fred and attorney Brendan Flaherty won over $6,000,000 for three families. “No amount of money can bring back a loved one, but it is important for the families to get justice,” said Fred.
All of the Listeria victims in New Mexico were hospitalized. They range in age from 43 to 96 and include two men and four women. The fatal cases include a 93-year-old man from Bernalillo County, a 61-year-old woman from Curry County and a 63-year-old man from Bernalillo County. The other cases come from Bernalillo, Chaves, Otero, De Baca, and Lea counties.
People in Colorado, Texas and Nebraska were also sickened in this outbreak. One person in Colorado died.
Our attorneys are available for a free consultation regarding a cantaloupe lawsuit. There has not been a cantaloupe recall associated with this outbreak.
