A deadly outbreak of Listeria poisoning has spread across the United States, including Oklahoma, involving people becoming poisoned by eating cantaloupes that are tainted with listeria.
A recall of the cantaloupes has already been issued. The cantaloupes are believed to have come from Jensen Farms, a cantaloupe producer in Colorado.
Many of the deaths that have occurred so far involve the elderly who are especially vulnerable to Listeria poisoning. Listeria can also cause miscarriages.
Although listeria poisoning affects most people with mild cases of diarrhea, others can suffer graver consequences such as meningitis and damage to muscle and spinal tissue. The physical effects from listeria poisoning may not show up for weeks after initial exposure.
If you believe you or a loved one have been poisoned by Listeria from cantaloupes, you may be entitled to compensation.
