Marler Clark has filed 3 E. coli lawsuits against Federico's.
The Maricopa County Environmental Services Department visited Federico's Mexican Restaurant and collected food samples to test for pathogens, including E. coli O157:H7. In November of 2013, the health department issued a final report on the Federico's E. coli outbreak, implicating lettuce as the source. Investigators were unable to determine whether the lettuce entered the restaurant already contaminated with E. coli or if it was cross-contaminated with another food at Federico's.

E. coli O157:H7 is potentially fatal pathogen typically contracted through consumption of contaminated food or water. Symptoms may include bloody diarrhea, dehydration or even kidney failure and death. The elderly, very young, and people with weak immune systems are especially susceptible to E. coli.
