The family of an 11-year-old Michigan girl claimed “disgusting” Wendy’s conditions severely infected their daughter with an E. coli-related disease in a new $20 million lawsuit, according to a report.
Aspen Lamfers had stopped at an Ottawa County Wendy’s on Aug. 1, 2022, ordering a hamburger, chicken nuggets and fries after softball practice, the family’s attorney, Tom Worsfold, told WOOD TV.
After nearly three agonizing weeks of battling the deadly disease in the hospital, Aspen was sent to a rehab clinic for a week and then finally sent home.
“It’s almost a miracle she survived,” Worsfold said.
The Lamfers family has filed a $20 million lawsuit against Meritage Hospitality Group — the owners of the Wendy’s from which they claim their daughter contracted the deadly disease — on April 4.
