New look for food poisoning informational Web sites
“We have heard time and again how valuable the information provided on these sites is to parents whose children are in the hospital. When your kid is sick, you arm yourself with as much information as you can, and these sites provide a comprehensive look at these ‘bugs’ and the illnesses they cause,” commented William Marler, managing partner of Marler Clark.
The sites also provide information related to high-profile food poisoning outbreaks that have occurred in the last 15 years. “Since Marler Clark has represented victims of nearly every major foodborne illness outbreak in the last fifteen years, we felt it was important to share the details of these outbreaks with anyone doing research on a particular pathogen,” Marler continued.
Marler Clark has represented thousands of victims of foodborne illness outbreaks since the 1993 Jack in the Box E. coli outbreak. The firm has resolved $300 million worth of cases against such food-companies as AFG, BJ's Wholesale Club, Blimpie's, the Brook-Lea Country Club, Byerly's, Cargill, Carl's Jr., Carneco, Carrabba's Italian Grill, Chi-Chi's, Chili's, China Buffet, ConAgra, Cub Foods, Dole, Emmpak, Excel, Filiberto's, Finley School District, Friendly's, Gate Gourmet, Gold Coast Produce, Golden Corral, Habanero's, Harmony Farms, KFC, King Garden Restaurant, Lund's, Malt-O-Meal, McDonalds, Natalie’s Orchid Island Juice Co., Natural Selections Foods, Odwalla, Olive Garden, Paramount Farms, Pat & Oscar's, PM Beef Holdings, Quality Inn, Quizno's, Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel, Robert's American Gourmet (Veggie Booty), Sam's Club, San Antonio Taco, Senor Felix, Sheetz, Silver Grill Location Catering, Sizzler, Sodexho, Spokane Produce, Subway, Sun Orchard Juice Co., Supervalu, Sushi King, Susie Cantaloupe, Taco Bell, Taco John's, Topps, United Food Group (UFG), Viva Cantaloupe, Wal-Mart, and Wendy's.
I found a latex rubber finger in my Ready Pac Bistro-Caesar Chicken Salad that was packageda by Ready Pac, of irwindale,CA.The same distributor involved in the E-coli incident with Taco Bell. Their attorney has filed a Motion to Dismiss. I need to know where I can find cases with points and authorities in cases such as mine. Their attorny is attacking me on the grounds that I did not state which of my civil rights was violated. No where in the Motion to Dismiss does it say that Defendant Ready Pac, Inc. is not guilty of violating food safety standards. The idea of chewing on a human finger was disgusting, gross, gagging, sickening, etc.,etc,. I filed a complaint in federal court and expect a fight. I do not have an attorney. So I welcome any advice/knowledge anyone can give me. I have fifhteen days to respond. Do the 15 days include weekends.
Good information,

The sources of this contamination can be quite varied and can occur during production, harvest, handling, processing, and storage. According to the FDA people can be infected with Salmonella from dog food as well, especially if they don't wash their hands after handling the food.
