Lawsuit to be filed in Kenosha, Wisconsin Salmonella Outbreak

By Drew Falkenstein

Marler Clark represents several people sickened by Salmonella enteritidis in an outbreak linked to Baker Street Restaurant and Pub in Kenosha, Wisconsin.  The outbreak has reportedly sickened 30 patrons.  A lawsuit will be filed tomorrow against L & K Tricoli, LLC, which owns and operates Baker Street Restaurant and Pub, on behalf of Tanja Dzinovic.

The Kenosha County Health Department has closed Baker Street Restaurant and Pub, pending its investigation into the outbreak.  The health department is also actively testing restaurant employees, before clearing them to return to work.

Ms. Dzinovic ate at the Baker Street Restaurant and Pub in Kenosha on Friday, June 18. On Monday, she woke with severe abdominal cramps and diarrhea. By Wednesday, her symptoms were so severe she went to the hospital for treatment, where it was determined that she had been infected with Salmonella enteritidis. Her Salmonella was later linked to the Baker Street Restaurant outbreak. She continues to recover from her illness.
