A Pennsylvania man who became ill with an E. coli infection after eating food from a Taco Bell restaurant is suing Taco Bell’s owner and a California scallions-grower.
Stephen Minnis lives in Montgomery County in suburban Philadelphia. He says he got sick and had to be hospitalized after eating food his wife bought on November 26th from a Taco Bell in Gilbertsville.
Seattle-based attorney William Marler filed a federal lawsuit in Philadelphia today on behalf of Minnis. The suit names Taco Bell’s parent company, Yum Brands Incorporated, and Boskovich Farms of Oxnard, California.
Boskovich Farms also was implicated in a 2003 hepatitis-A outbreak that sickened hundreds at a Chi Chi’s restaurant in western Pennsylvania.
