A Colorado family files first cantaloupe listeria lawsuit
In a current news, a Colorado family files first cantaloupe listeria lawsuit. The wife of the man who was hospitalized after consuming contaminated cantaloupe filed suit today in El Paso County District Court. The lawsuit is against Jensen Farms Inc. According to the complaint, Charles Palmer consumed the Listeria-contaminated cantaloupe in mid-August. He had purchased one whole cantaloupe at the Wal-Mart store which is located on Razorback Road in Colorado Springs. Soon he fell ill with symptoms of listeriosis and this was caused by Listeria infection. Within 24 hours his wife found him unresponsive and immediately rushed her husband to the hospital, where he has tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes, the strain of Listeria involved in the cantaloupe outbreak.
According to Palmer’s family attorney, “Wal-Mart, Jensen Farms, and other food companies have a public responsibility to all consumers to sell and distribute food that is free and clear of dangerous adulterants such as Listeria – no exceptions.”
According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, recently 15 Listeria cases in four states has been confirmed including one death and they all have been linked to cantaloupe produced in the Rocky Ford region of Colorado.
