FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS, Ill. and ST. LOUIS, Miss., Oct. 5, 2024 October 5, 2024 / PR Newswire/ -- Dozens of people sickened with Shigella food poisoning have hired record-breaking Shigella Attorney Jory Lange to represent them against LongHorn Steakhouse.  A Shigella outbreak closed LongHorn Steakhouse on Wednesday, after St. Clair County health officials announced they were investigating a Shigella outbreak linked to the LongHorn Steakhouse.  Dozens of people who got Shigella food poisoning after eating at LongHorn Steakhouse in late September have hired Jory Lange to help them get compensation.

LongHorn Steakhouse is located at 6115 N Illinois St, Fairview Heights, IL 62208.

"The LongHorn Steakhouse Shigella outbreak is likely to continue to grow," says record-breaking Shigella Attorney Jory Lange.  "Symptoms usually began 8 to 50 hours after eating Shigella-contaminated food.  Once people get sick and go to the hospital, it takes time for stool tests to come back positive for Shigella and for those test results to be reported to hospitals.  That's why the outbreak numbers will likely continue to rise."

"The scary thing about this outbreak is, as a consumer, there's nothing you can do to tell whether the food that you are buying is safe.  You can't taste, smell, or see Shigella. Food that is contaminated with Shigella may look, smell, and taste just like any other food. This is why it's critical that restaurants who make and sell our food, ensure the food is safe before they sell it," said Shigella food poisoning attorney Jory Lange.

LongHorn Steakhouse now faces its third Shigella Lawsuit.  All three Shigella Lawsuits were filed by record-breaking Shigella Lawyer Jory Lange and prominent local personal injury lawyer Eric Carlson.
