McDonald’s and Boar’s Head are now facing suits from individuals who consumed contaminated food products linked to the two companies.

First, McDonald’s is facing a number of lawsuits filed by consumers who were sickened after consuming food products that may have been contaminated with E. coli. A recent outbreak of E. coli has been linked to onions served on McDonald’s Quarter Pounders and other menu items. The onions have been traced back to Taylor Farms, a McDonald’s supplier. Among the filed actions are lawsuits from Nebraska, Colorado, Montana, and a proposed class action suit from Chicago.

Additionally, Boar’s Head is facing a wrongful death suit, brought by the surviving family members of a man that consumed Listeria-contaminated Boar’s Head products. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has linked the Listeria outbreak, which has infected 59 people and resulted in 10 deaths, back to Boar’s Head products.
