SHK Law Investigates Legal Claims for Victims of McDonald's E. Coli Outbreak
Los Angeles, CA – October 28, 2024 – SHK Law, a nationally recognized personal injury and civil litigation firm with a proven record of holding McDonald’s accountable, is actively investigating potential legal claims for victims impacted by the recent E. Coli outbreak linked to McDonald’s. This outbreak has resulted in at least 75 reported illnesses across 13 states and one tragic death, prompting action by McDonald’s and its onion supplier, Taylor Farms, to prevent further harm.
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), slivered onions used in McDonald’s products are identified as the likely source of contamination. These onions, distributed from Taylor Farms in Colorado Springs, were sold in various locations across Colorado, Kansas, Wyoming, and select airport locations. McDonald’s has since removed all contaminated products from its restaurants. The company also confirmed that Quarter Pounder patties were not the source of the outbreak, and it will resume selling these patties this week.
“The health and safety of those affected is our main focus, and we are determined to explore all factors that may have contributed to this unfortunate outbreak,” said Maureen Hennessey, a lead attorney at SHK Law who previously helped secure an $18.79 million verdict against McDonald’s in a landmark slip-and-fall case. “Our team has deep experience in complex corporate litigation, and we are prepared to vigorously fight for the rights of those harmed by this E. Coli outbreak.”
Impact on Victims
The consequences of the E. Coli outbreak have been severe. In addition to the one fatality, several individuals have been hospitalized, with some experiencing life-threatening complications such as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a serious kidney condition. Victims are facing significant medical costs, lost income, and ongoing physical and emotional suffering as a result of this contamination.

Potential Legal Claims
Victims of the E. Coli outbreak may be entitled to file legal claims such as:

Product Liability: Liability for distributing a defective and dangerous product.
Wrongful Death: Legal recourse in cases where the E. Coli infection resulted in a fatality.
