The TCPDH inspection of the daycare revealed several public health safety issues, including that that staff, parents and children reported frequently eating portable lunches on the daycare grounds by a pond. The pond collected run-off from a pasture that held grazing cattle, and TCPDH reported that several samples of pond water confirmed a heavy concentration of E. coli O157:H7.
The lawyers at Marler Clark represented the family of a little girl who became ill with E. coli and HUS in litigation against the daycare facility. The law firm filed an E. coli lawsuit against CCC Alternative Learning Daycare, and the lawsuit was settled out of court.
