The plaintiff in this case, Veronica Pereyra, consumed one or more of the products above and became sick and had to go to a hospital, the complaint alleges.
On August 1, 2022, the complaint alleges, the companies recalled fifty-three products because of the possibility they had become contaminated with the bacteria.
The complaint claims Cronobacter Sakazakii poses health risks, “especially to the elderly, very young, and immunocompromised.” Exposure to the bacteria, the complaint says, can lead to sickness and even death.
According to the complaint, the companies should have known about the danger of contamination of its products, especially because of recent occurrences of powder supplement and food contaminations.
