Jack in the Box E. coli Outbreak

In 1993, hundreds of people were injured and four children died after eating at Jack in the Box restaurants. The primary cause of the outbreak was adulterated hamburger patties manufactured and sold to the restaurant chain by one of its suppliers.

Litigation that resulted from this outbreak took years, and tens of millions of dollars, to resolve.
