Baker Street Restaurant Salmonella Outbreak - Wisconsin
In June and July, 2010, the Kenosha County Health Department investigated an outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis at the Baker Street Restaurant and Pub located at 6208 Green Bay Road, Kenosha, Wisconsin. There were more than 30 illnesses associated with the outbreak. The health department temporarily closed the restaurant, and is also tested the restaurant’s employees before clearing them to return to work.
Marler Clark represents several individuals sickened in the outbreak. The law firm filed a Salmonella lawsuit on behalf of a client July 22, 2010. In August, the Baker street outbreak was linked to a larger, nationwide outbreak of Salmonella Enteritidis in shell eggs produced by Wright County Egg of Galt, Iowa. More than 288 million eggs have been recalled, and Salmonella illnesses around the country are being linked to the eggs. Marler Clark filed an amending lawsuit linking the two on August 18, 2010.
