- Costco Recalls Cantaloupe Because of Salmonella Concerns | Legal News | News Ticker
Costco is one of the leading retailers in the United States, especially in the west because of its ability to provide items at lower prices and generally with high levels of quality. However, like any other retailer, Costco can run into problems with certain items, particularly produce. Unfortunately, such appears to be the case with a recent Costco recall that was initiated regarding cantaloupes. Those who have purchased this fruit from a Costco outlet somewhere in the west recently are advised to return it or to avoid consuming it.
According to several reports, this Costco recall was initiated because of concerns regarding the presence of salmonella in several cases of Del Monte Fresh melons. These melons originate from a farm in Guatemala and were distributed to Costco warehouses across the western United States. The products were offered for sale between March 10 and March 21, and they were sold in three-count packages with the Del Monte logo attached. Consumers should avoid using these products at all costs.
Salmonella panama is the specific form of contamination that was found in these defective melons, and to date approximately one dozen cases of salmonella have been reported as a result of using these products. Salmonella panama is a particularly troubling form of salmonella, as it can lead to extremely serious and sometimes fatal infections. This is particularly true of consumers who are most vulnerable to this type of harm, including those who are older, those who are already struggling with a suppressed immune system and small children.
Arizona Defective Products Lawyers
Perhaps one of the most problematic aspects of this type of a situation is that when people consume tainted products and fall seriously ill, they often are unsure as to what could have caused the problem in the first place. Not only can tracing this problem back to its source be extremely difficult, but even if that’s accomplished the next step of proving that the parties responsible for this harm should be held liable is another serious challenge.
If you or someone you love has suffered as a result of using a defective product, you need to seek the help of Arizona defective products lawyers who have been holding those responsible for this type of harm accountable for many years.

I’ve been working at Phillips Law Group for nearly four years and I can confidently say this is the best personal injury firm in Arizona to work for. The firm is the best for numerous reasons but to start, Phillips Law Group gives employees opportunities for promotions and growth. I started working within the settlement department, moved to a paralegal assistant and grew to be a pre-litigation paralegal with my own case load. Each attorney I have worked for is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Secondly, I love how Phillips Law shows appreciation for employees. They host Friday Zoom Huddles giving out PTO, goodie bags, special shout outs, bonuses and gift cards. They also host extravagant holiday parties and fun contests during the Holidays! Lastly, the firm cares about giving back to the community, which is a trait I value as well. It’s rewarding to see a fast paced firm taking time out of their busy day to pay it forward. I would highly recommend working at Phillips Law Group!

Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.

They knew exactly how to explain the case to me in a way that I would understand it. They gave me hope that my life wasn’t over.

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .
