Clark Fountain Now Representing Clients in McDonald’s E. coli and Trader Joe’s Listeria Recalls

Clark, Fountain, Littky-Rubin & Whitman has expanded its legal representation for clients impacted by recent food contamination incidents involving McDonald’s and Trader Joe’s, both linked to severe foodborne illnesses and substantial public health risks. The firm’s experience in food contamination litigation underpins its focus on accountability and consumer protection.

McDonald’s E. coli Outbreak

The E. coli O157 outbreak—traced to Quarter Pounders featuring slivered onions—has affected numerous states, leading to hospitalizations and a tragic fatality. This case highlights the complexities of food safety oversight in fast-food chains. Clark Fountain’s investigation targets potential lapses in McDonald’s supplier practices and in-restaurant handling protocols, prioritizing consumer safety and health justice. The harmful bacteria, E. coli O157, causes severe health conditions such as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), an illness with the potential to cause kidney failure.

Trader Joe’s Listeria Recall

Additionally, Clark Fountain is accepting cases related to Trader Joe’s Listeria recall, which involves several popular food products, including frozen waffles, cotija cheese, and green onions. Vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals, face severe health risks from Listeria, including life-threatening complications like meningitis. The firm is examining Trader Joe’s food safety compliance, supplier protocols, and quality testing, aiming to hold the company accountable where negligence is demonstrated.

How We Build Food Contamination Cases

Clark Fountain’s approach to food contamination litigation emphasizes:

• Identifying Contamination Sources: Coordinating with health authorities and analyzing food diaries, receipts, and outbreak reports to trace contamination origins.
• Expert Testimony and Medical Documentation: Partnering with food safety experts, epidemiologists, and medical professionals to directly link products to client illnesses.
• Seeking Full Compensation: Addressing all aspects of harm, including medical expenses, lost wages, emotional trauma, and lifestyle impacts.

Pushing for Industry Change

The firm’s recent actions against major corporations, such as their case against Boar’s Head and Publix following a Listeria outbreak, reflect a commitment to holding corporations accountable for preventable food safety failures. This work emphasizes consumer rights and supports the critical need for improved industry-wide standards.
