Overview

• The complaint, filed Aug. 13 in Seminole County, names Keely Farms Dairy and Wild Hare Natural Market and seeks compensatory damages under strict liability, negligence, and breach of implied warranty.
• The suit says the toddler tested positive for shiga toxin–producing E. coli and Campylobacter, was hospitalized repeatedly, and required surgery for intussusception, with treatment ongoing.
• Plaintiff Rachel Maddox alleges she contracted Campylobacter while caring for her child, developed sepsis, and lost a 19–20 week pregnancy on June 18.
• State health officials have linked at least 21 infections since January to Keely Farms’ raw milk, reported seven hospitalizations, cited sanitation concerns, and said they are working with the dairy to improve practices.
• Keely Farms says its products are labeled “Not for Human Consumption” and sold as livestock feed, while Florida’s surgeon general urged informed choice on raw milk in a recent post; no recall has been announced.
