First Salmonella Lawsuit Filed Over Contaminated Live It Up Super Greens Products

First Lawsuit Filed Over Live It Up Super Greens

In a significant legal move, the national food poisoning law firm Ron Simon & Associates, partnering with co-counsel Pete Flowers from Meyers & Flowers, LLC, has filed the first lawsuit related to the contaminated dietary supplement, Live It Up Super Greens. This legal action took place in Kane County, Illinois, and is aimed at seeking justice for individuals affected by the salmonella outbreak tied to these products.

The lawsuit centers around the case of Wesley Williams, who purchased the Live It Up Super Greens dietary supplement powder online in December 2025. Just one day after the birth of his first child, Williams began to experience alarming symptoms consistent with a salmonella infection, which included severe stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhea. Due to the urgency of his condition, he sought immediate medical attention at Northwestern Medicine Immediate Care in Sycamore, Illinois.

After submitting a stool sample, Mr. Williams was notified by his physician that he had tested positive for salmonella, forcing him into a quarantine lasting over a week to avoid any risk of passing the infection to his newborn.

Background of the Outbreak

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) linked Live It Up Super Greens dietary supplement powders to a widespread salmonella outbreak. As of January 14, 2026, there were 45 reported cases across 21 states, with illness onset dates ranging from August 22, 2025, to December 30, 2025. The FDA has issued a recall of the affected products, specifically those with expiration dates from August 2026 to January 2028.

Mr. Williams continued to use the powder during early January 2026, unaware of the growing health threat. On the same day the recall was announced, he received a call from the Kane County Health Department. They informed him that the strain of salmonella he contracted matched that associated with the Live It Up Super Greens outbreak.

Legal Implications and Industry Accountability

Attorney Ron Simon, renowned for tackling food safety cases, emphasized the moral and legal responsibilities of dietary supplement manufacturers. In light of this incident, he stated, "Companies engaged in the production of dietary supplements must ensure the safety of their products. When they fail in this duty, we are prepared to hold them accountable through litigation. This lawsuit aims to deliver justice and compensation for Mr. Williams and others affected by this outbreak."

The Live It Up Super Greens Claim Center has been established by Ron Simon & Associates, providing resources for individuals who believe they may have been impacted by the salmonella outbreak.

Through litigation and public education, he advocates for rigorous safety protocols and holds manufacturers accountable, aiming to prevent similar situations in the future.

Looking Ahead

The public must stay informed and heed any health advisories related to the products they consume.
