(PRNewsChannel) / December 10, 2009 / San Antonio, Texas / The Food and Drug Administration confirms a link between a dozen food poisoning cases in the Carolinas and oysters harvested in San Antonio Bay, according to news reports.

The state of Texas recalled oysters harvested during late November and warns restaurants to stop serving them indefinitely.

Ted Corless, a products liability lawyer in Tampa, Fla., says those sickened by the contaminated batches of oysters have more legal recourse than they might expect.

"In this case we need to pinpoint who's responsible for the harvesting, transporting and storing of those oysters," says Corless.

"The oysters pass through a myriad of handlers before they ever make it to the dinner plate. Someone messed up here," Corless said. He posted comments about likely legal action in this case on his Twitter page at www.twitter.com/tedcorless.

News reports suggest the oysters contain noroviruses which can lead to the stomach flu and be spread quickly between people through direct contact.

Ted Corless also practices property insurance law in Florida. He's also licensed to practice in Kansas and Missouri.
