SAN DIEGO – A lawsuit filed on behalf of a San Diego County family alleges all three family members contracted hepatitis A after eating strawberries just weeks before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced it was investigating an outbreak among people who had consumed the fruit.
The lawsuit states that at least 27 people in the United States and Canada were infected, with 16 of those people hospitalized. The FDA warned that people who purchased FreshKampo and HEB branded strawberries between March 5 and April 25, then froze the strawberries for later consumption, should not eat them.
While FreshKampo did not respond to a request for comment regarding the lawsuit, it did issue a statement shortly after the FDA announced its investigation.
