(EL PASO COUNTY, Colo.) —A Colorado mother from El Paso County is suing McDonald's and Taylor Farms Colorado after she and her daughter allegedly contracted E.coli from a burger they bought in a Colorado Springs location. According to the lawsuit Morgan & Morgan filed on Tuesday, Dec. 17, the plaintiff, 29-year-old Geovanna Zambrano, purchased two Double Quarter-Pounders with two large fries for her 10-year-old daughter at a McDonald's in Colorado Springs located at 390 8th Street on Oct. 17 and began suffering symptoms the next morning. The lawsuit states they had classic E.coli symptoms including severe vomiting, diarrhea, intense stomach cramps, and fatigue. They both attended Evans Hospital, where they were treated and diagnosed with viral gastroenteritis. “The most basic duty of the companies that grow, package, cook, and prepare our food is to not make us sick,” said Morgan & Morgan attorneys John Morgan and Aaron Clite. “We allege that McDonald’s, which touts itself as the world’s largest fast-food chain, has failed to meet that baseline expectation. Ms. Zambrano and her young child are dealing with the consequences of the alleged negligence of McDonald’s and Taylor Farms, which include not only their acute digestive symptoms but the potential to develop long-term health issues. We will fight on behalf of our clients to hold McDonald’s and Taylor Farms accountable for their alleged failures to prevent this E. coli outbreak, and to change their behavior and policies to ensure this never happens again.” The lawsuit alleges McDonald's and Taylor Farms caused Zambrano's and her daughter's E.coli. Furthermore, the lawsuit states McDonald's and Taylor Farms are liable to Zambrano due to negligence, strict liability, and a branch of implied warranties. FOX21 News reached out to McDonald's who said they do not comment on active litigation. However, they did share the following message the fast food President, Joe Erlinger released earlier this year: "I also want to address customers who ate at McDonald’s and are feeling any number of things: ill, scared, or uncertain. I know that our relationship is built on trust," said Erlinger. "You trust us to serve you safe food every time. On behalf of the McDonald’s system, I want you to hear from me: we are sorry. For those customers affected, you have my commitment that, led by our values: we will make this right." FOX21 News also reached out to Taylor Farms and is awaiting comment.
