Nestlé Toll House Cookie Dough Recall Lawsuit | Get the Right Lawyer

What’s the Problem?

On June 19, 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a public health announcement warning U.S. consumers note to eat Nestlé Toll House brand cookie dough, after the agencies reported that they had received complaints from at least 69 persons in 29 states claiming that the cookie dough caused them to get sick with E. coli O157:H7 (a bacterium that causes foodborne illness).

On June 29, 2009 the FDA has confirmed that it has officially found E. coli O157:H7 in a sample of prepackaged Nestlé Toll House cookie dough. The contaminated sample was collected at Nestlé’s facility in Danville, Virginia, on June 25, 2009.

The Dangers of E. Coli

E. coli O157:H7 is a bacterium that can cause serious foodborne illness in a person who eats a food item contaminated with it. Symptoms of E. coli O157:H7 infection include severe and often bloody diarrhea, abdominal pain and vomiting. Usually, little or no fever is present. Onset of illness can occur anytime between one to eight days after eating a contaminated food product. Most healthy adults recover within a week. Young children and the elderly are at higher risk for developing Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) as a result of the infection. HUS can lead to serious kidney damage and death.
