McDonald’s settles with Colorado resident who claims they contracted E. coli after visiting restaurant

A Colorado man has reportedly settled a lawsuit claiming he got E. coli after eating at McDonald’s during a multi-state outbreak of the bacteria linked to the chain.
Eric Stelly sued the fast food chain in October, shortly after federal health officials disclosed an E. coli outbreak across multiple states linked to McDonald’s Quarter Pounder burgers and other items that contained contaminated onions.
The suit claimed Stelly suffered from symptoms of E. coli poisoning, including nausea, cramps, and bloody stool,s after eating at a McDonald’s in Greeley.

“Never did I expect to suffer like this from eating a burger,” Stelly told USA Today when he filed his suit. “I hope my lawsuit can shed light on how this happened so that McDonald’s can fix the problems and prevent them from happening again.”
The terms of the reported settlement over the claims could not be disclosed, Stelly’s lawyer told The Denver Post.
