First lawsuit filed against McDonald's over deadly E. coli outbreak

The first lawsuit has been filed in Colorado against McDonald’s over the deadly E. coli outbreak reportedly tied to onions on their Quarter Pounder hamburgers. Taylor Farms, a company identifying itself as an onion supplier at affected restaurants, says it hasn’t found traces of E. coli yet but has pulled the products “out of an abundance of caution.” NBC’s Maggie Vespa reports for TODAY.

[Soooooooooooonicable]

Just stop eating here. Their 'food' isn't even cheap enough to justify going there anymore.

[quackassassin]

Prices make you sick, now the onions.

[aldana]

Why only the quarter pounder, they put the same onions on the other burgers too

[SJL]

Time to get in line sue im suing. $250, 00, 00, 00, 98 my lawyer on stand by

[ronjon]

Well even though McDonald’s has never made me sick, this is my sign to stop eating them for good

[lynZy]

They should be suing the supplier... they are the ones that didnt do their job properly to make sure they are safe to eat...

[teddyjam]

Burger King and Wendys are waiting on McDonalds customers.

[Notyourgrandads]

Their prices have become ridiculous. After this event, the prices are gonna need to come back to earth.

[larryingram]

It's always been total poison. The chemicals in the food, (if you want to call it food) is terrible. I wonder if the owner eats that garbage. Good for them!!!!

[EM-mwqr]

Why just the quarter pounder? I don't trust any of it now.

[EdwardLions-elyq]

I get the McSchitts every time I eat there.

[ChiRusNkFUSA]

But Inside Edition said not to panic lol

[cigarbearreviews]

Doesn’t it just seem really odd that everything is getting recalled all of a sudden, now juice is in recall…..

[briangil]

NOT JUST THE QUARTER POUNDER STOP EATING FASTFOOD IN GENERAL !

[LITTLE]

Strange, I ate Quarter Pounders before and had NO problem, though this is just before this unfortunate incident.

[FirstRealAmerican]

Stop eating fast food and getting fat.

[goingaboutmyfathersbusines]

There has been reports that one of the victims is a child that now has kidney disease!! They need a lawyer immediately

[teddyjam]

File a lawsuit for all of their price gouging profits.

[robynwolph]

I'm not in any of the affected states (I live in Florida) but this is said to be "fast moving, " and I'm not eating McDonald's again until this is all over with.

[aliabdi]

i will never go there again haven't been since last year
