FAQs

1. How do I know if I have a Listeria infection?

Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, and in severe cases, seizures. High-risk individuals (elderly, pregnant women, immunocompromised) may experience more severe symptoms. If you suspect Listeria infection after consuming Ready Care Shakes, seek medical attention immediately.

2. How long after consuming a contaminated product can Listeria symptoms appear?

Symptoms can appear anywhere from a few days to 70 days after consumption, with most cases developing within 1-4 weeks. This delayed onset makes it crucial to keep records of consumption and connect it to your illness.

3. What compensation might I receive in a ReadyCare Shake lawsuit?

Compensation typically covers medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases, punitive damages. Settlement amounts vary based on severity of illness, long-term complications, and whether death occurred.

4. How do I prove my illness was caused by ReadyCare Shakes?

Medical documentation confirming Listeria infection, proof of purchase or consumption of recalled products, and a timeline connecting consumption to illness onset are essential evidence. Our attorneys can help gather and present this evidence effectively.

5. Is this a class action lawsuit?

While individual cases may be consolidated for efficient processing, each claim is evaluated based on the specific injuries sustained. Contact our attorneys to determine the best legal approach for your situation.

6. Who is most at risk for serious complications from Listeria?

Pregnant women, newborns, adults over 65, and people with weakened immune systems face the highest risk. These high-risk groups are 10-20 times more likely to develop severe or fatal infections.

7. What should I do with recalled ReadyCare Shake products?

Do not consume recalled products. Either return them to the place of purchase or discard them immediately. Keep packaging and receipts as potential evidence for your claim.
