Quarter Pounder Controversy: McDonald's Faces E.Coli Lawsuit

McDonald's is facing a class action lawsuit after an E.coli outbreak linked to onions in its Quarter Pounders. Consumers claim they experienced symptoms after purchasing the burgers. The suit seeks damages for all affected U.S. buyers, alleging McDonald's failed to disclose the contamination risks.

McDonald's has been named in a class action lawsuit following an E.coli outbreak allegedly tied to the onions in its popular Quarter Pounder burgers. The complaint, filed in Chicago's federal court, accuses the fast-food chain of negligence.

Amanda McCray and William Michael Kraft, the plaintiffs, claim to have suffered various symptoms associated with E.coli infection after purchasing the burgers earlier this month. They contend that had McDonald's provided information about potential contamination risks, they would not have bought the burgers.

The lawsuit seeks compensation for all individuals across the United States who purchased contaminated Quarter Pounders. The case highlights ongoing concerns over food safety and corporate responsibility.
