Vomiting

3 years ago

My son who lives in Jersey City with his wife visited his younger brother who just moved in Chelsea. It was his first trip from staying in place since mid-March. They decided to do take-out Wednesday and ordered 7:15 pm. My oldest son ordered pork in pesto... See More and classic. He returned to his home Thursday. From Morning to late evening he was vomiting. He called Cigna Telehealth and they said wait 24 hours. By late evening the pain was so bad his wife called 911 and he admitted to Jersey City Medical Center ER and after various blood tests and catscan they operated Friday morning at 7 am to remove his appendix (luckily it had not burst). He was released late last night and is home trying to recuperate and has to self quarantine as the Hospital also had covid patients. This location has had reports before and should be checked to see if they are using old meat or it has e-coli. I plan to also report this to my local councilperson and anyone else I can to ensure this is followed up | Symptoms: Vomiting See Less

I bought rotisserie chicken at this particular location. I had it for dinner on March 9th midnight, and ever since the meal, I had extreme case of diarrhea and bloating stomach while constantly burping terrible smell. The chicken was pink with trace of blood inside. On March... See More 10th, I’ve gone to the washroom for more than 15 times, on March 11th, I’ve gone for more than 15 times as well. Today I am still feeling quite bad. My body would feel cold and shivering, and since the morning I’ve gone to the washroom like 6 times already. My girlfriend also felt unwell like me. I went to the store asking for explanation on March 11th, while feeling extremely uncomfortable still. The store manager (I don’t know his exact title), besides telling us fill out a report form, was being very skeptical of our situation. He might believe the sickness was caused by other things we had even though we’ve specially told him this is the last thing we had. Furthermore, he kept bringing up that I’m not the member, in which my girlfriend is the member. I’ve only spoken to him because my girl isn’t too proficient in English. He kept saying I’m not the member therefore they can only speak to the member This is unbelievably arrogant and clueless. If anyone who had Costco’s product and got seriously injured, Costco is definitely responsible regardless the user is a member or not, especially when it comes to food safety. Although he promised his manger would call us today, once we missed one call from him in the morning (he also only called 1 number but we out down 2 numbers), we called back multiples times and no one picked up. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Bloating, Burping See Less
