Taco Bell Lawsuit Over Lettuce Outbreak | Detroit News
Description
A Michigan woman suing Taco Bell and Taylor Farms after contracting cyclosporiasis from contaminated lettuce, a parasite causing brutal diarrhea that forced her to skip critical liver transplant meds—she’s one of thousands across nine states hit by this outbreak, with Michigan alone reporting over 11,000 cases. Symptoms began after eating at a Taco Bell in June; her transplant history made the illness especially dangerous. Dozens more have already filed lawsuits, blaming lax safety measures and past contamination issues. Health officials point to iceberg lettuce from central Mexico as the likely source, urging consumers to wash produce thoroughly and avoid risky salad greens.
