Overview

• The suit, filed Aug. 13 in Seminole County, names Keely Farms Dairy LLC and Wild Hare Natural Market and alleges strict liability, negligence, and breach of implied warranties while seeking compensatory damages.
• According to the complaint, the toddler drank Keely Farms raw milk on June 8, later tested positive for E. coli and Campylobacter, had multiple hospitalizations, underwent surgery for intussusception, and was treated for possible hemolytic uremic syndrome.
• Maddox says she did not consume the milk but tested positive for Campylobacter while caring for her child; she was hospitalized, developed sepsis, and her fetus died at 19–20 weeks on June 18.
• The Florida Department of Health reports at least 21 infections tied to Keely Farms since Jan. 24, including six children under 10 and seven hospitalizations, and says it is working with the farm to ensure consistent sanitation practices.
• Keely Farms says it sells raw milk only as livestock feed with labels stating not for human consumption, a pathway allowed under Florida law, while federal agencies warn raw milk can carry dangerous bacteria and Florida’s surgeon general has publicly backed personal choice with risk awareness.
