A man from St. Louis County is the second person to seek damages from Schnucks after falling ill during an E. coli outbreak linked to lettuce sold at local stores, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday in circuit court.
In mid-October, Charles Meyer, 61, ate romaine lettuce and other salad bar items several times from the Schnucks in Cool Valley. Meyer later developed an E. coli bacterial infection and was treated at Mercy Hospital in Creve Coeur, where he stayed in the cardiac unit for several days.
Meyer has not regained his previous health and strength since the illness, according to the lawsuit.
Mary Kozlowski filed suit earlier this month against Schnucks after she suffered permanent kidney damage from an E. coli infection after eating salads from the Des Peres Schnucks.
