Description
A Michigan couple is suing Taco Bell and Taylor Farms after falling seriously ill from Cyclosporiasis linked to contaminated lettuce, seeking over $75,000 in damages. The outbreak, tied to Taco Bell locations in five Midwestern states, sickened more than 1,600 people and hospitalized 94.

The lawsuit accuses both companies of negligence and breach of warranty, underscoring the persistent risks in food safety and the real human cost of contamination.
