Egg companies to be sued

MINNEAPOLIS – A southern Minnesota couple has notified a pair of Iowa egg companies at the centre of a salmonella outbreak and massive egg recall that they intend to sue.
Attorney Ryan Osterholm of Minneapolis-based PritzkerOlsen says the lawsuit will be filed in Beltrami County in the next few days.
It is apparently the first lawsuit in the state connected to the nationwide recall of more than a half a billion eggs.
Robin Shaffer of Mantorville claims she was sickened with salmonella poisoning after eating at a Bemidji restaurant in May.
A spokeswoman for the farms did not immediately return a request for comment. (AP)
