Restaurant outbreaks bring back memories
Marler Clark client Richard Miller, who became ill with a hepatitis A infection after eating at a Chi-Chi's restaurant in 2003, was interviewed for a story that appeared today at MSNBC.com titled, "Restaurant industry battles wave of illness." An excerpt from the story follows:
"Three years ago, an ambulance rushed Richard Miller to the hospital, where he had an emergency liver transplant after contracting Hepatitis A from a special dinner platter at Chi-Chi’s restaurant in Beaver, Pa. So the recent food illness outbreaks at Taco Bell, Taco John’s and Olive Garden restaurants hit him hard.
'It’s sort of like, 'Oh no, not again,'' said Miller, 60. 'There needs to be more regulation of the food supply.'"
Miller's sentiments have been echoed recently by other food safety advocates, such as his attorney, Bill Marler, on his blog at www.marlerblog.com.
