Food Supplements/Lawsuits

Lawsuits involving food and supplements can include food poisoning cases, food product recalls, food allergies, false advertising or labeling, vitamins or supplements problems. Dietary supplements and weight loss pills can be very dangerous since they are not regulated by the FDA. Mad cow disease and avian flu are both deadly human diseases transmitted through food products. E-coli is another food-borne infection that can lead to kidney damage or death. Outbreaks of these diseases can affect thousands of people. Food poisoning cases can be very severe leading to Salmonella, Shigella, Hepatitis A, Listeria monocytogenes, e-coli outbreaks, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens, Campylobacter, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Bacillus cereusforeign, Norovirus, Toxoplasma gondii, and Vibrio vulnificus. [FREE FOOD/SUPPLEMENT CASE EVALUATION] Food Poisoning Outbreaks of food poisoning and food borne illness have become rather common in these modern times. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that each year over 76 million - or one out of every four Americans are sickened as a result of consuming contaminated foods or beverages. Some become seriously ill; more than 325,000 require hospitalization and over 5,000 die each year. Older adults, young children, and those who have weakened immune systems are particularly vulnerable. Otherwise healthy individuals are also at risk if the contamination is severe or especially pathogenic. In a nutshell, anyone who eats contaminated food is at risk of serious illness and even death in a severe case of food poisoning. More than 250 different food borne diseases have been identified to date - not inclusive of chemical agents. Most of these diseases are infections caused by a variety of bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Of course, foods that are contaminated with poisonous chemicals or harmful substances can also cause serious illness. Symptoms of food borne illness vary by disease but with bacterial or viral infections the most common are nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea - usually of unusual severity. Food poisoning with a toxic chemical will usually show severe symptoms very quickly, as will food allergies. Immediate medical attention is called for in each of these cases.
