July 2026 lettuce recall & multistate outbreak
You ate lunch. Weeks later, you were still sick.
Hundreds of people across Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio and other states came down with cyclosporiasis after eating at Taco Bell restaurants this summer. The lettuce was recalled. The illness lasted far longer — weeks of watery diarrhea, exhaustion, missed paychecks, and weight that would not come back.
If that was you or someone in your family, you may be able to bring a claim for your medical costs, your lost wages, and what this illness took from you.
Claims are accepted nationwide. There is no fee to have your situation reviewed.
This was not a stomach bug
Cyclosporiasis is a parasitic infection. Without the right treatment it can drag on for a month or longer, coming back in waves just when it seems to be over. People describe the same thing over and over: they could not work, could not eat, could not be more than a few steps from a bathroom.
Contaminated produce is a preventable failure. When a supplier puts unsafe lettuce into the food chain and a restaurant serves it, the people who got sick should not be the ones absorbing the cost.

How a case review works
Step 1
Tell us what happened
A few minutes on a secure form: where you ate, when you got sick, and how bad it got.
Step 2
Your illness is reviewed
A case reviewer looks at your timeline, your treatment, and the losses you carried.
Step 3
Someone follows up with you
You will hear back about whether a claim can be pursued. No cost, no obligation.
Time matters more than most people realize
Receipts fade, app orders get deleted, and every state puts a deadline on claims like these. The sooner your illness is documented, the stronger the record is.
