KENOSHA, Wis. (AP) - One of the 21 diners at a Kenosha (ken-OH'-shah) restaurant sickened by a salmonella bacteria linked to contaminated eggs has filed a lawsuit.
Tanja Dzinovic of Pleasant Prairie is suing the egg producer, Wright County Egg of Galt, Iowa, and others after getting sick from a Cobb salad at Baker Street Restaurant and Pub in June.
Hundreds of people have been sickened in a salmonella outbreak linked to eggs in four states and possibly more. Wright County Eggs has expanded its recall to 380 million eggs.
The Journal Sentinel says the state Department of Health Services has linked all 21 confirmed cases of salmonella-related illnesses in Wisconsin to the Kenosha restaurant.
