E. coli O145 Lawsuit on Behalf of HUS Victim in New York
Attorney Fred Pritzker has been retained by a young woman who developed hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) from an E. coli O145 infection linked to Freshway Foods romaine lettuce. His client, a student at Daemen College in Amherst, New York, contracted an E. coli O145 infection in April that developed into hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a life-threatening illness that can cause kidney failure, central nervous system damage, heart problems, pancreatitis, and other serious medical conditions. The student’s illness resulted in three separate hospitalizations and will seriously set back the course of study she was pursing as a freshman at Daemen College. Our law firm is preparing to file an E. coli O145 lawsuit on behalf of our client.

Moore, Oklahoma-based Vaughn Foods has also recalled lettuce grown at the same Yuma, Arizona farm that health officials are investigating in connection with the Freshway Foods romaine lettuce recall.
The E coli 0145 outbreak associated with this recall has so far sickened 23 people in New York, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
