Topps Meats and Price Chopper E. coli Outbreak
In August, 2005, an eight-year-old Albany, New York girl became ill with an E. coli O157:H7 infection after eating a hamburger purchased from Price Chopper. The ground beef used in the hamburger had been supplied to Price Chopper by Topps Meats. Marler Clark filed a lawsuit on behalf of the girl, who developed Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome secondary to an E. coli infection.
