Lawsuit Targets Colorado Cantaloupe Grower
The Albuquerque Journal reports a Seattle law firm filed the lawsuit on behalf of 96-year-old Florence Wilcox. She’s one of five New Mexicans who died this fall after eating listeria-contaminated cantaloupe. The outbreak sickened 15 others in New Mexico.
Colorado grower Jensen Farms and two food-safety firms hired to audit the cantaloupe grower in July were named in the suit.
Seattle attorney Bill Marler says the lawsuit is the first filed in New Mexico on behalf of a victim of the listeria outbreak.
