Nestles Cookie Dough E-Coli Scare
The Food and Drug Administration issued a recall on Nestle’s refridgerated Toll House cookie dough due to a suspected outbreak of E-Coli poisoning related to the product. Over sixty people have reported ill with severe symptoms that authorities believe are related to the cookie dough.
E. coli O157:H7 causes abdominal cramping, vomiting and a diarrheal illness, often with bloody stools. Most healthy adults can recover completely within a week. Young children and the elderly are at highest risk for developing HUS, which can lead to serious kidney damage and even death.
While the matter is being investigated, retail stores have been told to pull the product from the store shelves. Consumers have been advised to not use the product if it is in their home. More details will be released soon.
Anyone who suffers E-coli poisoning from this product should contact our food poisoning lawyers as soon as possible to discuss their legal rights. If possible, preserve your package and any receipts for the purchase of the cookie dough. This will assist us in the handling of your case.
