A Colorado teen suffered severe health issues after eating quarter pounders during an E. coli outbreak at McDonald's, her lawyer says.
A lawyer representing 37 people impacted by McDonald's E.coli outbreak as a result of eating quarter pounders has shared the dire health impacts a 15-year-old Colorado girl experienced as a result of her fast-food choices. Kamberlyn Bowler of Grand Junction 'ate a Quarter Pounder with extra pickles on at least two occasions at the end of September and early October,' a press release from Ron Simon & Associates provided to Fox News Digital states.
Bowler was admitted to a hospital three days later, where she developed HUS, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says is a 'very serious complication of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli infection.' On Oct. 17, the high school freshman had to be flown 250 miles to a hospital near Denver, where she received dialysis for 10 days in an urgent effort to save her kidneys.
Monday update from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service, shared by McDonald's, ruled out beef as the source of the E. coli outbreak. The Food and Drug Administration is in the midst of investigating whether Taylor Farms, which supplied slivered onions to McDonald's in the areas where the E. coli outbreak occurred, is the source of the contamination. Fox News Digital reached out to Taylor Farms for comment, but they did not immediately respond.
