Taco Bell Lettuce Outbreak Lawsuit | Louisville News

A groundbreaking lawsuit has been filed in Ohio, marking the first legal action tied to a nationwide cyclospora outbreak linked to Taco Bell’s shredded iceberg lettuce. A U.S. Army veteran, who fell gravely ill after dining at a Youngstown, Ohio location, is at the center of the case — his hospitalization and confirmed infection highlight the severity of the outbreak. With over 1,600 reported cases and 94 hospitalizations across five states, the CDC has traced the contamination to a single Mexican supplier, Taylor Farms — a company with a history of similar outbreaks. Taco Bell has pulled shredded lettuce from all locations nationwide, while attorneys are now setting up a claim center to assist affected customers seeking justice and compensation.
