MARLER BLOG: Cargill manufactured, and Sam’s Club sold, E. coli contaminated hamburger linked to 14 Illnesses in North Carolina, Minnesota, Tennessee and Wisconsin - 3 still hospitalized, 2 in critical condition - (Marler Blog)
October 21, 2007 – 12:40 amIt was much easier to track the illnesses caused by Topps E. coli contaminated hamburger as there is a report on-line on the CDC website. No such luck with being able to see the same on the Cargill recall. Remember, Cargill recalled nearly 1,000,000 pounds of E. coli infected hamburger. A search though Health Department websites and news, has shown at least 13 people ill, and probably 14, 3 still hospitalized - 2 still in critical condition.
