Press Release: Pritzker Law Firm Files Salmonella Lawsuit
Minneapolis (Business Wire) July 3, 2008 – The Pritzker law firm of Minneapolis, Minnesota and David J. Fitzpatrick & Associates, LTD., a Chicago law firm, filed a lawsuit today on behalf of ten people who became ill after eating at the Pars Cove Persian Cuisine booth at the Taste of Chicago held in Grant Park, Chicago, Illinois. Plaintiffs consumed food at the Pars Cove Persian Cuisine booth during or around June 29 through July 2, 2007. The lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. The defendant in this case is Iran Echo International Corp., d/b/a Pars Cove East.
According to the complaint, all ten plaintiffs had Salmonella Heidelberg infections linked to hummus served at the Pars Cove Persian Cuisine booth at the Taste of Chicago. Subsequent to consuming the Pars Cove hummus, the plaintiffs fell seriously ill with gastrointestinal complaints including but not limited to nausea, abdominal cramps, headaches, diarrhea and other indicators of Salmonella poisoning.
According to the final report on this Salmonella outbreak, there were 191 laboratory-confirmed cases of Salmonella Heidelberg associated with eating at the 2007 Taste of Chicago. Health officials found the outbreak strain of Salmonella Heidelberg in patient specimens, Pars Cove hummus specimens and food worker specimens. Salmonella isolates in two separate samples of Pars Cove hummus matched the outbreak PFGE patterns.
