As a Los Angeles product liability lawyer, consumer health and safety is something that I am very conscious of and I know that even with tough rules and regulations on manufacturers mistakes can still be made. I encourage anyone who is experiencing the symptoms of food poisoning to seek immediate medical attention. I hope that this recall has been made in time that no one will be sickened by this contaminated product. The personal injury attorney at our law firm sincerely hope that no one has been sickened by consuming the recalled tomatoes.
