This is simply unacceptable. This botulism outbreak, frankly any outbreak that sickens babies, should never have happened. We can do more to protect the most vulnerable. The stork in “operation stork speed” clearly flew into a brick wall and crash landed. This child’s parents bought ByHeart Infant Formula at a Walmart. ByHeart utilized powdered organic […]

Yet another E. coli outbreak linked to leafy greens is burning through at least four states – Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Michigan – in people that ate hamburgers – with lettuce – at Wendy’s. Hundreds are sick and those numbers will rise. There are several people – mostly kids – with hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). […]

The CDC reports as of August 18, 2022, a total […]
We know that Wendy’s knows, but is not yet saying – they will eventually and I continue to sue them. It is also possible the FDA knows, but also is not saying – yet. I am not that far behind. Well, we know from Wendy’s and the FDA that the likely E. coli-tainted product is […]
In 2007 I spent a month and a half traveling Australia giving speeches about “why it is a bad idea to poison you customers.” My wife, Julie, and three daughters, Morgan, Olivia and Sydney, went with me. In addition to the meat pies, Foster’e Lager, hiking to the top of Uluru, and counting all the […]
My inbox and phone blew up in the last two days after my clients received this unsolicited letter from Daily Harvest warning my clients of the danger of their product. The letter is dated July 29th, but arrived in most of my clients’ mail boxes over the last two days. Daily Harvest has once again […]
It has been a long time since Wendy’s has been across from me in a Court – and that is a good thing for Wendy’s and its customers. However, now with the CDC reporting nearly 40 E. coli O157:H7 cases in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Indiana, some hospitalized and some, mostly children, developed hemolytic uremic syndrome […]
Yesterday the CDC reported that 37 people in four states – Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Indiana – have been sickened by E. coli O157:H7 – likely after consuming hamburgers with lettuce at area Wendy’s. County and State Departments of Health are reporting higher numbers, so expect this “fast moving” outbreak to grow over the coming […]
While I wait with the rest of you hitting refresh on the CDC website waiting on an update on the numbers ill and the cause of the “E. coli Outbreak with Unknown Food Source,” I am reminded by how many times I have been asked why it takes so long to figure these outbreaks out. […]

New or fairy new outbreaks should remind us all how much the FDA does with the limited resources it has. Here is most of the latest: An outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 (ref# 1081) in an unidentified product was added to the table and FDA has initiated a traceback investigation. CDC has issued an Investigation […]

Nearly a month ago I urged the FDA to follow Frank Sinatra’s advice to “float down to Peru.” I do not know if the FDA has, but they long ago should have. As you know, I have sued Daily Harvest, and after asking who manufactured the French Lentil + Leek Crumbles, and being rebuffed, I […]
