A Colorado man has filed a lawsuit against McDonald’s after he ingested E.coli bacteria from the Quarter Pounder, QP burger, Reuters reports.
He is now demanding over 50,000 dollars in damages for poor handling of the food, which led to him contracting the serious illness.
It was two days ago that the American public health agency CDC linked an E.coli outbreak to the fast food chain.
One person has died and another 50 people have become ill, ten of whom are being treated in hospital.
According to the US drug authority FDA, the poo bacteria has been found in the onion on the QP burger, which has now been removed from the menu at a fifth of all the country’s restaurants.

President Joe Biden is expected to publicly apologize for America’s 150-year oppression of indigenous peoples.
Indigenous children were forced into boarding schools where the lives of many were destroyed, according to a previous investigation initiated by the US government. Now Biden wants to show federal remorse over the treatment.

The investigation shows, among other things, that over 18,000 children have been forced away from their parents into boarding schools. Around 1,000 deaths have been confirmed in connection with the forced displacements and around 70 unmarked graves have been discovered.
