E. coli outbreak claims 1 life in Los Angeles County amid nationwide recall

The E. coli outbreak infected 39 people across 18 states, with 15 hospitalizations and one death in Los Angeles County.

The one person who died from a national outbreak of E. coli linked to organic carrots lived in Los Angeles County, health officials said Monday.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health said Monday there were two local cases of E. coli associated with the recalled carrots, including the death of one adult over age 65 who also had other medical conditions. Dr. Leonardo Rodriguez, an emergency medicine physician with Providence Little Company of Mary Medical Center in Torrance, says E. coli infections are most dangerous to those with other pre-existing conditions.

The recalled products involve nearly three dozen brands including Bunny Luv, Cal-Organic, Good and Gather, 365, Raley's, Sprouts, Simple Truth and Trader Joe's.Most people infected with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli experience severe stomach cramps, diarrhea and vomiting. Seek care if your symptoms don't improve after a few days or you have signs of dehydration.
