    Won a defense verdict on behalf of a high-end specialty grocery store in a food poisoning case before the NY State Supreme Court, NY County. The 73-year-old plaintiff allegedly sustained a mast cell activation disorder as a result of developing scombroid poisoning after consuming food sold by our client. Following a trial where we convinced the jury that there was no correlation between the scombroid poisoning and the resulting hypersensitivity disorder other than the coincidental timing, the jury ruled in favor of our client, awarding the plaintiff $1,000 for her past pain and suffering and zero dollars for her future pain and suffering.
