New Jersey Contaminated Food Lawyers

In our modern society, very few people grow or produce their own food and beverages at home. This leaves most consumers at the mercy of food manufacturing companies and others whose products stock the shelves of the local grocery store. While there are numerous regulations and safety measures in place to prevent toxic or contaminated foods from reaching a consumer’s table, too many times these slip through the cracks.

If you have been sickened as a consequence of consuming toxic or contaminated foods, whether fresh or processed, you may be entitled to financial compensation for medical bills and other relevant damages. Contact the New Jersey contaminated food lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 800-346-5529 today to learn more about your legal rights in this situation.

Dangers of Contamination

When foods sold in the grocery store or elsewhere are contaminated, individuals who consume them may suffer severe food poisoning or worse. Usually, this contamination occurs because of unsanitary production, storage, transportation, or due to failures of oversight at any point during the process. The following are some of the potential hazards that might accompany unsafe food:

  • Bacteria
  • Viruses
  • Fungi
  • Lead
  • Mercury

These substances are harmful to those who consume them. Individuals who do consume them may become violently ill. This may lead to nausea, vomiting, severe abdominal pains and body aches, and more. In some severe cases, the contamination may prove to be fatal.
