California Creamery Listeria Monocytogenes
In response to potential listeria contamination concerns, Rizo-Lopez Foods, Inc. (RLF), commonly recognized as Rizo Brothers California Creamery, has initiated a voluntary recall of various dairy products, including cheese, yogurt, and sour cream. The recall, prompted by information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), aims to address the risk of illness associated with Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
The FDA’s recall documents underscore the seriousness of the situation, highlighting RLF as a potential source of illness in an ongoing nationwide outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes. Given the potential health risks posed by the presence of this organism, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems, swift action is imperative to mitigate potential harm.
Affected products were distributed nationwide through various retail deli counters, including popular chains such as El Super, Cardenas Market, Northgate Gonzalez, and Superior Groceries, among others. Sold under multiple brand names, including Tio Francisco, Don Francisco, Rizo Bros, and Food City, among others, the recalled items encompass a wide range of dairy offerings commonly found in households across the country.
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium known to cause serious and potentially fatal infections, particularly among susceptible individuals. Symptoms of listeriosis, the illness resulting from Listeria contamination, can range from mild flu-like symptoms in healthy individuals to severe complications such as meningitis and bloodstream infections. Pregnant women are particularly vulnerable, as Listeria infection can lead to miscarriages, stillbirths, or serious health complications for the newborn.
In light of the recall, consumers are urged to discard any recalled products immediately to prevent potential exposure to Listeria monocytogenes. Furthermore, individuals who have purchased affected items are encouraged to contact the company’s customer service hotline for assistance and further guidance.
Unfortunately, individuals who have consumed contaminated dairy products and subsequently suffered harm or illness may be entitled to pursue legal recourse through a product liability lawsuit. Victims of Listeria contamination may seek damages to cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses incurred as a result of their illness.
Navigating the legal process following a product-related injury can be complex and challenging, requiring the expertise of a skilled attorney specializing in product liability claims. An experienced attorney can provide invaluable support at each stage of the litigation process, from conducting thorough investigations to gathering evidence and negotiating with the responsible parties.
In the event of a lawsuit, victims must demonstrate that the contaminated dairy products were the proximate cause of their illness and subsequent damages. This may involve presenting medical records, expert testimony, and other evidence to establish liability on the part of the manufacturer or distributor.
