Teen with E. coli fights kidney failure following McDonald’s meal


A high school freshman in Colorado, Kamberlyn Bowler, became seriously ill after eating McDonald’s Quarter Pounders linked to an E. coli outbreak. McDonald’s says that slivered onions served on Quarter Pounders are likely the source of the contamination. Kamberlyn developed kidney failure, a rare complication of E. coli poisoning, and has been hospitalized for treatment at Children’s Hospital Colorado. She has received multiple rounds of dialysis and her recovery is uncertain. Kamberlyn’s mother plans to sue McDonald’s and has hired an attorney to seek justice for her daughter and other victims of the outbreak. Symptoms of E. coli infection include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea, and vomiting, with a small percentage of patients developing HUS, a potentially life-threatening condition. Doctors stress the importance of timely medical intervention for E. coli infections to prevent long-term damage. McDonald’s has expressed remorse over the outbreak and pledged to regain customers’ trust. A food poisoning attorney representing numerous victims of the outbreak plans to file lawsuits to determine the source of the contamination and prevent future incidents. The experience has been traumatic for Kamberlyn and her family, highlighting the serious consequences of foodborne illnesses and the importance of proper food safety measures.
