The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are warning consumers not to eat any varieties of prepackaged Nestle Toll House refrigerated cookie dough due to the risk of contamination with E. coli O157:H7.
Nestle USA’s Baking Division has initiated a recall of all Nestle Toll House refrigerated cookie dough products. The outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 is reported to include at least 66 people from all across America, 7 of which developed a life threatening complication called hemolytic uremic syndrome.
E. coli O157:H7 is bacteria that can cause serious permanent injury and death, especially in young children, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems. People sickened in this Toll House E. coli outbreak have become seriously ill.(HUS).
If you think you or a family member has contracted E. coli O157:H7 from eating Toll House refrigerated cookie dough, contact PritzkerOlsen Attorneys at 1-888-377-8900 (toll free).
