#TaylorFarms facing lawsuits over children and a woman following an E. coli outbreak linked to romaine #lettuce that affected 89 people across 15 states, including eight victims in Indiana, some who suffered acute kidney failure – due to undisclosed #outbreak of #BigAg animal feces borne illness in #California grown lettuce.

Lead attorney bringing cases issued statement “It is disappointing, but with 20,000 employees at Health and Human Services (#HHS) being fired, investigating, and reporting on outbreaks and alerting the public to the cause is clearly not a priority for this administration. If the gutted #CDC and #FDA can no longer do the job, we will step up to inform and protect the public – so much for ‘Make America Healthy Again (#MAHA),'” said William “Bill” Marler.
