A Colorado man has filed a lawsuit against McDonald’s, alleging negligence after testing positive for E.coli following a meal from a Greeley location.
This marks the first lawsuit since the fast-food chain’s hamburgers were implicated in a bacterial outbreak resulting in hospitalisations and at least one death.
Eric Stelly experienced severe symptoms after consuming food on October 4, leading to hospitalisation.
His attorney, Ron Simon, represents multiple victims in the outbreak, and further lawsuits are expected.
The CDC is investigating the outbreak, which has affected 49 people across 10 states, primarily linked to McDonald’s Quarter Pounder hamburgers, and killed one person.
McDonald’s has since removed potentially contaminated onions and beef patties from several locations.
McDonald's said on Thursday that Taylor Farms was the supplier of the sliced onions that have been removed. Taylor Farms did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The company has recalled several batches of yellow onions produced in a Colorado facility.
