Caterer exposes U.S. celebrity party to Hepatitis A
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Sports Illustrated bash for its annual swimsuit issue has turned into a health scare for stars in Hollywood after a caterer working for celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck may have exposed them to acute Hepatitis A.
The Los Angeles County health department recommended on Tuesday that anyone who ate uncooked food at the U.S. sports magazine's party on Feb. 14 get treatment by Wednesday to avoid developing the serious liver disease.
Guests at the party included singer Beyonce Knowles, former Guns N'Roses bassist Duff McKagan, portly "Borat" co-star Ken Davitian, and a slew of models.
Health officials said the risk was "quite low" and that no Wolfgang Puck pre-packaged foods or restaurants were affected.
