A former Marine recruit filed a lawsuit on Monday against the food vendor for the Marine Corps boot camp in San Diego, claiming he developed medical complications stemming from an E.coli infection that led to the end of his military career. Vincent Grano, 19, filed a lawsuit against Sodexo, Inc. after he and 29 Marine recruits were hospitalized in October when they were sickened by E.coli at Marine Corps Recruit Depot and Camp Pendleton, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. The former Marine recruit suffered kidney failure and seizures, ultimately leading to his discharge from the Marines, the complaint stated. Grano’s lawyers also said the 19-year-old only ate food provided by Sodexo in the 10 days leading up to his E.coli infection. The lawsuit accuses the food company of violating state and local food regulations and failing to have workers who knew how to properly prepare food.
