Wednesday, December 21, 2005
The Chi-Chi`s Restaurant chain has been ordered pay money to thousands of customers exposed to Hepatitis two years ago. Nearly 5,000 people who ate at a restaurant near Pittsburgh had to get Hepatitis shots after an outbreak linked to Mexican grown green onions. More than 600 people got sick and four eventually died. A federal judge ordered the bankrupt chain to pay $162 to each person who received a shot.
