A New Hampshire couple has filed a personal injury lawsuit against supermarket chain Stop & Shop, alleging that their 8-year-old son was poisoned by E. coli after eating ground beef purchased at a store in Manchester, N.H.
No one from Stop & Shop, a division of Royal Ahold, was immediately available for comment.
The lawsuit against the Quincy, Mass.-based chain was filed July 6 in federal court in Concord, N.H. The parents, John and Christina Tsirovakas of Epsom, are being represented by Seattle law firm Marler Clark.
According to Marler Clark, the Tsirovakases' son Eric was stricken by E. coli and hospitalized in September 2005. The family accumulated medical bills of over $100,000, Marler Clark said.
