PITTSBURGH Most of the 600 people sickened by a hepatitis-A outbreak in western Pittsburgh over a year ago have settled with the Chi-Chi’s restaurant chain.
But two people have filed suit against the Louisville restaurant chain.
Martha Funkhouser of Beaver Falls and Reginald Woods of Lake Milton, Ohio, sued the bankrupt chain, saying they suffered liver damage after contracting hepatitis A. They ate at a Chi-Chi’s at the Beaver Valley Mall in October 2003.
Chi-Chi’s settled more than 550 other claims stemming from the outbreak.
