McDonald’s says consumers should feel confident ordering from its restaurants despite a deadly E. coli outbreak linked to its Quarter Pounder hamburgers.

CDC says an E. coli food poisoning outbreak tied to McDonald's Quarter Pounders has expanded, with at least 75 people sick in 13 states.

McDonald's was sued Thursday by a Colorado customer who became ill with E. coli after eating at the fast food chain, the first such lawsuit stemming from an outbreak that has sickened at least 49 people in 10 states and left one dead.

Dozens of people across 13 states have become sick after eating McDonald’s Quarter Pounders contaminated with E. coli. At least 75 people fell ill from the bacterial infection and one person died in Colorado from the O157:H7 strain of E.

The outbreak, linked to slivered onions, has now sickened 75 people, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
