STONY BROOK, N.Y., Sept. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Dozens of people have food poisoning after eating at Kumo Sushi of Stony Brook last week.  12 people were rushed to the Emergency Room at Stony Brook University Hospital.

Suffolk County Department of Health investigators cited Kumo Sushi of Stony Brook for 15 violations, including 8 violations for food-borne illness risk factors.

A woman has filed the second lawsuit against Kumo Sushi of Stony Brook.  She got food poisoning after attending a birthday party last Saturday at Kumo Sushi of Stony Brook.

Food Poisoning Lawyer Jory Lange and Scott Harford, one of Manhattan’s leading Product Liability Lawyers, are representing the woman, who is one of dozens of people who got food poisoning after eating last week at Kumo Sushi of Stony Brook.

This is the second food poisoning lawsuit filed by Jory Lange and Scott Harford in the Kumo Sushi of Stony Brook food poisoning outbreak.

“The scary thing about this outbreak is, as a consumer, there’s nothing you can do to tell whether the food that you are buying is safe.  You can’t taste, smell, or see food poisoning. Food that is contaminated may look, smell, and taste just like any other food. This is why it’s critical that restaurants who make and sell our food, ensure the food is safe before they sell it,” said Food Poisoning Lawyer Jory Lange.

“I have devoted my legal career to helping injured New Yorkers when companies cut corners resulting in harm to their customers,” said Scott Harford.

Jory Lange and Scott Harford are representing multiple families who were sickened in the Kumo Sushi of Stony Brook food poisoning outbreak.

About the Kumo Sushi of Stony Brook Food Poisoning Outbreak

On September 9, 2023, the health department, police, and more than a dozen fire departments responded to a food poisoning outbreak at Kumo Sushi of Stony Brook, and temporarily shut the restaurant down.  “We believe the culprit was the rice. This particular case, that rice was cooked and not stored at a proper temperature and what happens there is you have spores that live in the rice and after the rice is cooked if you don’t have it at a proper temperature, these spores can reactivate and become bacteria,” Suffolk County Health Commissioner Gregson Pigott said.
