Whataburger warns of hepatitis A scare

Posted on April 27, 2007 by Hepatitis A Attorney

Heather Ann White of the Corpus Christie Caller-Times reported that the Stores in question are in Harlingen and Raymondville

The Texas Department of State Health Services issued a warning Tuesday to anyone who ate at the Harlingen restaurant at 1605 W. Harrison St. between March 1 and 12 and its Raymondville restaurant at 1007 E. Hidalgo Ave. between March 13 and March 31 to seek medical treatment for hepatitis A if experiencing symptoms. An employee working at both restaurants was diagnosed with the virus and could have spread the disease, said Emily Palmer, health services spokeswoman.  Whataburger officials said Tuesday that it was an isolated incident. Palmer said no other cases have been confirmed, but symptoms could show up as late as 28 days. Customers who visited either restaurant after March 31 are not in danger of contracting the disease.

We have been contacted by counsel for Whataburger.  They seem quite concerned for their customers.
