Product recalls for foods contaminated by E.coli always make the news, and for good reason. Some kinds of E. coli can cause diarrhea, urinary tract infections, respiratory illness, pneumonia, and other types of illnesses. If you or a loved one has suffered an illness due to E.coli poisoning, you may be entitled to compensation.
