What Should I Do If I Got Hepatitis A From Strawberries?
If you suspect you have developed hepatitis A after eating recalled strawberries, you should:
- Obtain immediate medical attention: The first thing you should do is get better. While the symptoms of hepatitis A typically last around eight weeks, less than 0.02 percent of people with hepatitis A die from it. While there is no specific treatment for the condition, a medical professional can advise you how to maintain comfort during the recovery process and make sure your nutritional balance is preserved.
- Preserve the leftover strawberries: Make sure you preserve and isolate the strawberries you consumed so they can be lab-tested for the presence of hepatitis A. You should also preserve the packaging the product came in, including its bar code, as this can aid in tracing the product.
- Preserve your proof of purchase: If you can, preserve your receipt or your credit card records. This can prove where and when you bought the strawberries.
- Call your local health department: You should file a report with your local or county health department. This could let you know about similar incidents to yours, and may also lead to the department starting an investigation.
- Keep records of your losses: Keep receipts of tests, doctor visits, insurance statements, credit card bills and medication purchases. Document all of the days you miss from work due to your hepatitis A, as well as any wages you lose.
- Call Nadrich & Cohen: A food poisoning lawyer at Nadrich & Cohen can assist you with filing a claim against those responsible for your hepatitis A and ensure you receive adequate compensation for your losses and suffering.

Is There A Time Limit To File A Strawberry Recall Lawsuit?
Food poisoning cases are classified as personal injury cases in California. In California, the statute of limitations is two years after the date of the injury. This means you have two years from when you ate the strawberries that caused your hepatitis A to file a lawsuit.
