According to the lawsuit, on September 18, 2024, Clarissa purchased and consumed food from her local McDonald’s in Nebraska. By September 23rd, she had become ill with the symptoms of E. coli. On September 25th, Clarissa was forced to seek medical attention, and presented to the Great Plains Health – Emergency Room, where her physicians ordered blood work, and abdominal and pelvic CT, and ordered stools studies. Notably, the physician noted: “My nursing staff indicated to me that E. coli was also noted on 2 patients yesterday. I find this very interesting. This is a reportable illness to her health department. It does cause me to question whether there is some sentinel event that may have caused this to happen.”
Clarissa was found to be positive for E. coli O157:H7, and her case was reported to the county health department. Her physicians placed her on Ciprofloxacin, and at the time this lawsuit was filed, continues to recover from the effects of E. coli food poisoning.
At present, onions are suspected as having been the catalyst of this E. coli outbreak, and Taylor Farms of California has issued a recall of the potentially dangerous onions.
According to Ron Simon, the attorney representing Ms. DeBock and at least fifteen other families, so far: “Our office continues to receive calls around the clock from victims in this outbreak. We will continue to pursue their claims until each family is fully compensated for their losses.”
