Marler Clark's Salmonella lawyers represented two of the victims, both of whom required emergency room treatment and subsequent medical care, and both cases were resolved in April, 2004.
A second Salmonella outbreak and recall of alfalfa sprouts, this time involving a Salmonella Chester strain, was announced by the state health agencies in Washington and Oregon in late November, 2003; 26 persons were lab-confirmed Salmonella cases eventually associated with the outbreak. The source of the second outbreak was again linked to a batch of contaminated alfalfa sprouts grown and distributed by Harmony Farms in both states.
Marler Clark represented 3 of the victims of the second outbreak, all of whom required medical attention and care. Those cases have since been resolved.
