Cargill recalled E. coli contaminated Frozen Hamburger Patties last week. E. coli cases have been linked in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Carolina and now Tennessee. Many of the E. coli cases involve HUS, acute kidney failure. We will be filing suit against Cargill Monday morning in Minnesota. This is not the first time we have had to deal with Cargill in this manner.
