First lawsuit filed against Del Monte in Cyclospora outbreak
The first lawsuit was filed on Friday against Del Monte Fresh Produce on behalf of Aaron Ringmeier, who was infected with Cyclospora after consuming produce from a Del Monte Fresh Produce vegetable tray. Mr. Ringmerier is represented by Marler Clark, the nation's leading food safety law firm.
On May 26, 2018, Mr. Ringmerier purchased a Del Monte Fresh Produce vegetable tray from Kwik Trip, a local convenience store located in Mantiowoc, Wisconsin. The pre-packaged tray contained broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and dill dip. On June 6, Mr. Ringmerier began experiencing symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, and fatigue. Two weeks later, he sought medical attention at Aurora Medical Center. Due to the severity of his illness, Mr. Ringmerier continued treatment until July 15.
