Lawsuits Filed in Mass. over E. Coli Tainted Meat

A lawsuit was filed this past Tuesday after a young Massachusetts based girl and Rhone Island boy were made ill by meat tainted with E. coli bacteria.  Product liability  litigation, which was brought against two meat companies, namely South Shore Meats and Fairbank Farms in Plymouth Superior court, stated that both children were in the hospital but recovering.

Court documents further revealed that 11-year-old Austin Richmond  of Rhode Island became ill Oct 17th after visiting  a Massachusetts youth camp and subsequently  eating a hamburger  there.  The girl, 12-year-old Marshville resident Andrea Munro, fell sick after eating meat from Fairbank Farms.

Both companies recalled batches of meat after realizing E. coli outbreaks were occurring because of their products.

Neither company has released official statements or spoke to the press regarding the impending lawsuits.
