Egg Lawsuit Seeks Answers and Demands Justice

Our investigation into this outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis has found evidence that Wright County Egg and Hillandale Farms were careless about sanitation measures that could have prevented the Salmonella contamination that has sickened hundreds of people.  Possible acts of negligence include the following:

• Failure to produce, distribute, store and maintain egg products safely
• Failure to maintain sanitary conditions including proper hand and surface cleaning
• Failure to prevent cross-contamination of food
• Failure to implement and supervise a system for assuring the safe production and handling of food products
• Failure to test egg products
• Failure to train and properly supervise food handlers

Our egg lawsuit investigation has also found evidence for a strict liability claim that at the time the eggs left the control of Wright County Egg and Hillandale, the eggs were defective and unreasonably dangerous for their ordinary and expected use.

Salmonella from Eggs Served at a Restaurant

If you contracted a Salmonella infection from eggs served at a restaurant, you can sue the restaurant along with Wright County Egg and/or Hillandale Farms. Restaurants have a duty to provide safe food to their customers.  When this duty is breached by serving food contaminated with Salmonella, they have to compensate the Salmonella victims.
