One person has died and at least 38 people have become ill after the outbreak. The actual numbers may be much higher. The Food and Drug Administration has publicly stated that the carrots may have been contaminated with the Shiga toxin-producing kind of <em>E. coli<\/em>, which most affects children age\u00a05 years or under and adults who are 65 years or older If you suffered <em>E.coli<\/em> due to contaminated carrots, you should call the seasoned Chicago-based lawyers of Moll Law Group to learn your legal options. We represent clients around the country and have experience pursuing damages on behalf of those injured by contaminated foods or defective products.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consult Moll Law Group About Your Food Safety Claim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On November 16, 2024, Grimmway Farms recalled multiples sizes and brands of bagged organic baby and whole carrots due to risk of <em>E.coli<\/em> contamination. The known cases of <em>E.coli<\/em> happened in 18 states and from September 6, 2024-October 28, 2024. It\u2019s most likely, officials says, that the carrots being sold in the grocery store now are not affected, but carrots you have in your home might be, even if you\u2019re not in one of those 18 states but are anywhere in the country. It\u2019s important to throw those bagged, organic carrots away and not consume them or return them to the place you bought them.<\/p>\n<p>These products are likely no longer in stores for sale but may still be in your home. The CDC advises throwing away any recalled organic carrots that are in your freezer or refrigerator. You should also wash and sanitize anything that touched them in the dishwasher or by using soap and hot or boiling water. Be on the lookout for serious symptoms. If you have signs of dehydration such as dizziness; diarrhea for more than 3 days that doesn\u2019t improve; vomiting that is so significant you can\u2019t even keep down liquids; or a fever that exceeds 102 degrees, Fahrenheit, you should call your doctor, as these are considered serious E. coli symptoms.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.molllawgroup.com\/blog\/people-in-18-states-may-have-gotten-sick-from-carrots-contaminated-with-e-coli\/#more-3399\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Centers for Disease Control has announced\u00a0 a multistate outbreak of E. coli O121 infections linked to supplier Grimmway Farms bagged recalled, organic carrots and baby carrots, which were sold under several brand names.
