According to the manufacturer True Leaf Farms is recalling 90 cartons of bags of romaine lettuce due to possible listeria contamination. The company believes most of the shipments went to an Oregon distributor but may have reached Washington and Idaho. The recalled bags have a use-by date of September 29 and their bag code is B256-46438-8.
Commentary
This recall is not linked to the Jensen Farms recall of cantaloupes but should be treated just as severely. That recall has proved deadly as several have died from the consumption of the tainted produce. The disease is particularly dangerous to elderly consumers or those who have weakened immune systems.
When an injury occurs from the consumption of a product an independent investigation is needed to confirm that link. Defense attorneys are knowledgeable in decoupling this link and removing proximate cause from the product in question. This type of maneuver could remove fault from a manufacturer and leave a victim undercompensated or without any recovery.
