Chipotle Hit With First Norovirus Lawsuit

A mother is taking Chipotle to court on the behalf of her son, after he contracted norovirus from the burrito chain that has sickened more than 150 people. On December 4, Alexander Dow ate a burrito from a Boston Chipotle. Two days later, he began uncontrollably vomiting and was taken to Children’s Hospital in Boston. Soon, news of the norovirus outbreak linked to Chipotle broke, as a number of Boston College students reported illnesses after eating at the same Chipotle restaurant. Alexander’s family connected his sickness to the outbreak, and reported his illness to health authorities.
