Two plaintiffs who became sick from E. coli after eating at Taco John's locations in Iowa have moved to dismiss the Taco John's corporation from their claims and add the owners of the two stores. "The bottom line is the law ... is pretty onerous to tag the corporation in these kinds of lawsuits," said their lawyer, William Marler. "Ultimately, it's the franchisee that is responsible." At least 26 people were hospitalized after E. coli was found in lettuce at Taco John's restaurants last year.
