AppId is over the quota
The family of a Maryland man has hired legal representation and filed the fifth lawsuit Thursday, against Jensen Farms and Frontera Produce, which are the cantaloupe producers and distributor of the Rocky Ford Melons. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court in Maryland by the family of a Maryland man that died after eating one of the contaminated melons.
The legal claim # 1:11-CV-2810, states that Clarence Wells consumed cantaloupe on more than one occasion, prior to becoming ill. Wells had symptoms of Listeria infection, including fluid retention, August 23, 2011 and by August 25th, he has gained another nine pounds. By the August 25th date Wells was having difficulty breathing and was taken to the hospital emergency room.
Then Mr. Wells was admitted to John Hopkins Medical Center, where Wells condition deteriorated on the morning of August 31st. His family was alerted and found Mr. Wells unconscious and later that evening he died, without his family being able to speak to him.
According to the Wells family attorney the loss the family has suffered is tragic and is not the only one with the Listeria outbreak. The attorney also stated that three other families are being represented by their firm due to the deaths of family members.
