What Should I Do If I Have Been Affected By The E. Coli Outbreak In Toledo?

It can be scary to read that the meat sold at stores where you frequently shop had to be pulled from the shelves.

If you have been dealing with serious illness around the same time as the meat recall, you may be living in fear that the tainted meat had affected you and your health.

This same situation happened recently after Wolverine Packing Company in Detroit, Michigan had to recall 1.8 million pound of beef sold to restaurants and grocery stores in four states after discovering that the meat could be tainted with E. coli, a very serious bacteria that could lead to kidney failure if not treated quickly and properly. Some of that meat was sold to Gordon Food Services, a popular grocery with multiple locations in the Toledo area.

There are important steps to take if you suspect that you have ingested meat that has been tainted with E. coli, either at a restaurant or from purchasing meat at a local store:

1. Seek immediate medical attention.

2. Save the packaging from any meat purchased in the recent weeks.

3. If you do not have the packaging, attempt to locate the receipt showing your purchase.

4. If you ingested the questionable meat at a restaurant, attempt to locate the receipt from your meal, or document the time and date that you visited the establishment.

5. Contact an attorney if you have accumulated medical bills as a result of the ingestion. This includes any bills from the emergency room, family physician, or urgent care.
