A proposed class action lawsuit was filed Tuesday against McDonald’s, the latest litigation over the E. coli outbreak linked to the fast-food chain’s Quarter Pounders.

The proposed class action lawsuit is at least the third suit related to the E. coli outbreak.
Willey said he has received “a lot” of calls from people looking to join the class action suit and he expects the number represented to grow.
