Tainted Lettuce - AGAIN!

In case you thought they fixed the problem from a few years ago. Think again.

"an E. coli outbreak that has sickened at least 19 people, three of them with life-threatening symptoms."

"The House passed a bill last year that would give the agency much more authority to police food production, but the Senate has not acted on it." What a surprise.

"E. coli infection can cause mild diarrhea or more severe complications, including kidney damage. The three patients with life-threatening symptoms were diagnosed with hemolytic uremic syndrome, which can cause bleeding in the brain or kidneys."

Enjoy your salad.

"The lettuce was sold in Alabama, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin."
