Florida Mother Dies After Eating Frozen Blueberries From Publix, Lawsuit Says
The suit says contaminated GreenWise blueberries sickened 17 people and prompted a recall that was later expanded nationwide, the FDA said.
- A Florida family filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Pinellas County Circuit Court against Publix and Quirch Foods Inc. after 74-year-old Karla Mullins died June 20 following consumption of GreenWise Organic Whole Blueberries.
- Data from the FDA confirms the blueberries were part of a multistate E. coli O145 outbreak resulting in 17 illnesses and six hospitalizations, which the CDC and FDA declared over on Monday.
- Representing the family, the Morgan Law Firm seeks compensation for medical expenses and "loss of support and services," while claiming Mullins' son was also hospitalized after consuming the recalled product.
- Supplier Frutas y Hortalizas del Sur S.A. issued an initial recall on July 3, later expanding it on July 29 to include additional products reaching retail stores throughout eight states including Florida, Georgia, and Kentucky.
- Morgan Law Firm founder John Morgan and attorney Christian Leger intend to hold the defendants fully accountable, arguing the companies are liable for the "defective and unreasonably dangerous condition" of the product sold.
