A lawsuit has been filed against a Connecticut dairy for
allowing tainted milk to be served
last Wednesday to young children in the
Camden School District.
The Lento Law
Group is representing three mothers whose children drank the milk and had to be
taken to the hospital.
The suit was filed
last Friday in federal court.
Milk from the
Guida-Seibert Dairy was contaminated with a sanitizer and sickened as many as
30 children who attended Early Childhood Development Centers at the Yorkship
Family School and Veterans Memorial Family School.
The milk served to students was contaminated
with Vortexx, a colorless sanitizer.
School district officials say they
will create new standardized procedures regarding checks and balances with
beverages and food.
The
Camden County Department of Health says parents who have concerns should
contact their primary care physician or visit a medical clinic. They can also
call the county hotline at 856-549-0530 with any questions.
Dozens of students were sent to the
hospital after consuming contaminated milk Wednesday afternoon, according to the
Camden County Department of Health. The school has confirmed the milk was mixed
with a non-toxic, consumable sanitizer that cleans industrial equipment.
