ST. LOUIS, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — A second E. coli lawsuit was filed today against Andre’s Banquets & Catering. The E. coli lawsuit was filed by record-breaking food poisoning lawyer Jory Lange and prominent St. Louis personal injury attorney Erica Slater of The Simon Law Firm, P.C.
The E. coli Outbreak
94 people have been sickened with E. coli food poisoning and 12 people have been hospitalized. The 94 people ate at 4 separate events. Andre’s Banquets & Catering catered each of the 4 events, according to the St. Louis County Health Department.
Many of those who got E. coli food poisoning are Rockwood Summit High School students or parents who were attending an end-of-the-season band banquet.
“The scary thing about this E. coli outbreak is, as a consumer, there’s nothing you can do to tell whether the food that you are buying is safe. You can’t taste, smell, or see E. coli. Food that is contaminated with E. coli may look, smell, and taste just like any other food. This is why it’s critical that caterers who make and sell our food, ensure the food is safe before they sell it,” said E. coli lawyer Jory Lange.
“More E. coli lawsuits are likely to follow.”
