Ron Simon & Associates Names Harvest Sensations as Distributor of Tainted Basil in Cooper's Hawk Cyclospora Outbreak: Two Amended Lawsuits Filed
MIAMI, Sept. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The national food safety law firm of Ron Simon & Associates has filed two amended lawsuits that now name Harvest Sensations, L.L.C as the original distributor of contaminated Mexican basil that sickened over 100 Florida residents this summer. Most of the victims consumed the tainted basil at Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant Jacksonville, Florida.
The law firm was the first to discover Harvest Sensations' identity as the original distributor of the tainted Mexican basil, according to the lawsuits.
Mr. Simon, who represents dozens of victims in the Cooper's Hawk Cyclospora Outbreak, issued the following statement:
"We have been working diligently to uncover the source of the tainted Mexican basil, and have now identified the entities that imported and distributed it. We will make sure that each of these companies are held accountable for the damage caused by the contaminated basil, and that each of our clients are fully compensated for their losses."
Cyclospora is a parasite which when consumed causes extreme gastrointestinal illness, including diarrhea, gas, bloating, and abdominal pain and cramping, and can last for months if not properly treated.
