More than 73,000 people suffer personal injury from E. coli infections each year, while 61 of those infected suffer wrongful death, according to newsinferno.com. The E. coli virus is especially dangerous to children and the elderly, since their immune systems are not a strong. Some strains, including the one found recently found in Kroger beef, can lead to blood poisoning, cystitis, or swelling of the bladder, or septicemia, a potentially fatal infection.

Thirty five people have suffered personal injury from the recent E. coli outbreak linked to beef sold at Ohio and Michigan Kroger stores, according to the Toledo Blade.

The recall targets beef that was sold at the stores from May 21 to June 8, and customers are instructed to discard any beef sold during that time, or return it to a Kroger store for a full refund.
