At least one of the families has announced it will tell its story in the national media due to the severity of the case and their call for change.
As the investigation into the McDonald’s outbreak continues, the number of affected families is growing, and with it, the concern over the severity of the illnesses caused by this outbreak. Attorney Ron Simon, known for his extensive experience in food safety litigation, is at the forefront of the legal response, working to ensure that these families receive the compensation and justice they deserve.

The McDonald’s Onion E. coli Outbreak
The outbreak, linked to contaminated onions used in McDonald’s menu items, has quickly garnered national attention. Health officials across several states have confirmed that dozens of customers fell ill after consuming food products containing the contaminated onions. The most severe cases include three individuals who developed Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS), a condition that can lead to kidney failure and other serious health complications.
HUS is a rare but serious complication of E. coli infections. It can occur in children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems. It is characterized by the destruction of red blood cells, leading to acute kidney failure and, in some cases, lasting health consequences. The three HUS cases reported in this outbreak underscore the urgency of the situation and the importance of holding those responsible accountable.
