A 34-year-old Greeley man who ate at a McDonald’s in early October and got seriously ill has filed the first lawsuit in the U.S. related to the recent McDonald’s E. coli outbreak.
Eric Stelly is suing for “in excess of $50,000 for past and future economic damages,” according to the lawsuit.
One person in Mesa County, an older man with other medical conditions, has died of E. coli poisoning related to the outbreak, according to the Colorado Department of Health and Environment.
