Marler Clark Files Second E. coli Lawsuit against South Shore Meats Linked to 30 Illnesses at Camp Bournedale
The family of an 11-year-old Rhode Island girl has filed a lawsuit against a Massachusetts meat company that supplied meat to a youth camp where she became ill. The lawsuit filed today in the Plymouth Superior Court claims that Lynn Santos of Lincoln, R.I., fell severely ill with an E. coli infection and was hospitalized for four days last month after eating contaminated beef supplied by South Shore Meats Inc.
It is the second lawsuit filed against the Brockton-based company after more than 30 people got sick at a Massachusetts youth camp. Last month the company voluntarily recalled ground beef and other products after tests showed E. coli in leftover beef samples.
