NOW A NETFLIX DOCUMENTARY From Jeff Benedict, the #1 New York Times
bestselling author of Tiger Woods and The Dynasty, Poisoned
chronicles the events surrounding the worst food-poisoning epidemic
in US history: the deadly Jack in the Box E. coli infections in
1993. On December 24, 1992, six-year-old Lauren Rudolph was
hospitalized with excruciating stomach pain. Less than a week later
she was dead. Doctors were baffled: How could a healthy child
become so sick so quickly? After a frenzied investigation,
public-health officials announced that the cause was E. coli
O157:H7, and the source was hamburger meat served at a Jack in the
Box restaurant. During this unprecedented crisis, four children
died and over seven hundred others became gravely ill. In Poisoned,
award-winning investigative journalist and #1 New York Times
bestselling author Jeff Benedict delivers a jarringly candid
narrative of the fast-moving disaster, drawing on access to
confidential documents and exclusive interviews with the real-life
characters at the center of the drama-the families whose children
were infected, the Jack in the Box executives forced to answer for
the tragedy, the physicians and scientists who identified E. coli
as the culprit, and the legal teams on both sides of the historic
lawsuits that ensued. Fast Food Nation meets A Civil Action in this
riveting account of how we learned the hard way to truly watch what
we eat.
