Mother sues Florida dairy farm, claims she lost fetus after raw milk led to bacterial infection [View all]
SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – A New Smyrna Beach dairy farm was named in a lawsuit filed by a woman who claims she lost her fetus after falling ill while caring for her toddler, who became sick after drinking raw, unpasteurized milk.
Rachel Maddox is suing Keely Farms Dairy, which Florida health officials last week tied to at least 21 cases of E. coli and Campylobacter bacteria sickness from raw milk. Six of the 21 patients were children under the age of 10, seven patients were hospitalized and at least two cases have resulted in severe complications, the warning states.
“I became very ill and I mean the sickest I’ve ever been in my life,” Maddox told News 6’s Laverne McGee Thursday. “I came really close to dying and our (unborn) son did die. The doctors told me that I was lucky to be alive.”
The lawsuit — which also names the market where Maddox allegedly bought the milk — was filed Wednesday in Seminole County and claims Keely Farms shipped milk that contained Campylobacter and E. coli.
