Canned Tuna Botulism Poisoning and Wrongful Death Lawsuit Lawyers
A recall of canned tuna sold at major retailers, including Costco and Walmart, has been issued due to possible contamination with Clostridium botulinum, the bacteria responsible for botulism. The FDA warns that defective can seals may allow the bacteria to thrive, posing a life-threatening risk to consumers. Symptoms of botulism include paralysis, difficulty breathing, and, in severe cases, death. Victims who suffer from botulism poisoning after consuming the recalled tuna may be able to file a product liability lawsuit against the manufacturer. The legal process involves gathering evidence, proving the connection between the product and the illness, and seeking damages for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
