TAINTED FOODS AND PERSONAL INJURY
In Miami, the Perazzo Law Firm informs about the growing trend in the consumption and distribution of tainted foods that are leading to massive recalls nationwide by the Center for Disease and Control (CDC).
Personal Injury from consuming tainted goods, especially those leading Salmonella poisoning, can lead to hospitalization, medical expenses, lost wages, and even wrongful death among the elderly, very young, the physically frail, or those whose immune systems are poor.
The most recent consumer goods to be recalled include onions manufactured by Thomson International and spanning retail outlets throughout all fifty states. The CDC has confirmed the recall of their onions and goods produced by Taylor Farms Texas in Dallas.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration made the recall public on Thursday over concerns that products containing yellow and green onions may lead to Salmonella poising on behalf of consumers.
Last week, Thomson International recalled goods in 50 states due to links to salmonella outbreaks among 359 consumers, according to the CDC.
Some Retail Outlets Targeted for Recalls (not in all states):
- Costco
- Trader Joe’s
- Ralph’s
- Walmart
- Krogers
Salmonella can be a serious infection which may sometimes prove fatal as it leads to some 420 deaths nationwide, with over one million reported cases a year, according to the CDC.
Salmonella Symptoms:
- Fever
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Abdominal pain
- Artery infection
- Endocarditis
- Arthritis

Tainted or outdated foods can lead to mild cases of food poisoning, which are hard to prove in an insurance claim for compensation, or infectious bacterial disease such as Salmonella, which causes some 1.35 million cases every year. Many end up in hospital and suffer severe physical injury through bloody diarrhea. Salmonella claims over 400 fatalities every year with the rest most likely to spend a week suffering from stomachaches, fever, and diarrhea.
Personal Injury insurance claims for compensation following food poisoning from a proven case of Salmonella, can include lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and more. When wrongful death follows a case of food poisoning, family members or loved-ones should immediately contact the Personal Injury staff at the Perazzo Law Firm to find out about a possible wrongful death insurance claim. In Miami, food business operators and manufactures are legally liable to produce and distribute goods that are safe to consumers and cause no harm which may lead to medical care or professional services by a Personal Injury Lawyer.
