On July 2, 2010, and in a later expansion, Rocky Mountain Natural Meats recalled a total of 66,776 pounds of bison meat due to potential E. coli O157:H7 contamination. The product was sold at popular stores including Albertson's, Giant Foods, Kroger's, Market Basket, Price Chopper's, Stop & Shop Supermarkets, Super Value, Whole Foods, and King Soopers.
Ten people from 5 states--Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, and New York--became ill as a result of the outbreak.
Marler Clark is representing the family of a Colorado boy who became ill with an E. coli O157:H7 infection and was hospitalized after eating the bison meat.
