Customer, parent outraged over Hepatitis A linked to Illinois McDonald's

Posted: July 16th, 2009 - 5:50pm by Doug Powell

There are 19 confirmed cases of Hepatitis A in Illinois, primarily in Rock Island County, and they appear to be linked to a McDonald’s restaurant in Milan, Illinois that was closed Wednesday evening.

The mother of a McDonalds employee who did not wish to be identified, said her daughter worked from 11-5 on Wednesday and she then accompanied her to the Rock Island County Health Department where employees were being screened for Hepatitis A.

The mother said,

"I'm very angry. They put my daughter in jeopardy along with the public and other people."

Arnie Hanson, his wife and daughter were among the last to be served food on Wednesday evening. A manager had to unlock a door so they could leave.

"You should be able to trust who's preparing your food. It's very disappointing. … We're upset about it because not only me and my wife ate there. We also had our 11-year-old daughter. Now you're dealing with kids. It's just not right."

Joan Gomez (parents) says:

A parent is a caretaker of the offspring in their own species. Children can have one or more parents, but they must have two biological parents. In all human societies, the biological mother and father are both responsible for raising their young. To be able to know more about parent's manual, kindly check this at pdfph.com
