By Alexander D. Napolin, Esq. | September 11, 2019

We live in a time where the world is a small place. We are exposed to so many things including foods. And while this is a great thing, it has exposed us to various dangerous foods that are harmful. But sometimes, food can be dangerous because it is contaminated or poisonous. In such case, we may get sick and face long and enduring medical treatments that leaves us and our families very frustrated. This article sheds light to something lawyers never talk about: dangerous foods.

Learn What Dangerous Foods is all about

Do you know where your food comes from? Have you ever read the fine print in the back of your food products? Do you ask how your favorite restaurant make their dishes? Most of us don't. This leaves us vulnerable to various harmful properties that can poison or contaminate what we consume making it dangerous. We get most of our foods from third parties. Most of these parties use chemicals and preservatives and other proprieties in order for the food to last longer. Sometimes, this increases the likelihood of grown bacteria, viruses, parasites and other toxins. Have you ever had food poisoning? Most of us had, at least once in our lives. Food positioning comes from bacteria and toxic properties found in food that makes it contaminated. Consuming that causes us to feel sick.

The way our food is processed is similar to that of drugs. Drug manufacturing companies and distributors have liabilities when it comes to consumers using their products (drugs). The same is true for food companies and distributors. They have legal obligations to ensure that the food we consume is healthy and safe.

Common Dangerous Foods Claims Filed in the Past

Dangerous food can result in a number of injuries that may be easily cured. However, that is not always the case. Although the US has strict regulations regarding foods, manufacturing and distributing companies sometimes fail to abide. We still end up with contaminated foods on our tables at home and at restaurants. If we are lucky, we get sick that is easily recoverable or we face serious illnesses and diseases that could even lead to death. In the past, people filed personal inquiry claims for dangerous foods they consumed. The following list is the most common claims plaintiffs have filed in the past:

Contaminated Food
Food poisoning, also known as Foodborne Illness
Mislabeled Food
