Salmonella Laws in Oklahoma

Victims of Salmonella food poisoning in Oklahoma City may pursue legal claims under the state’s personal injury and product liability laws. These statutes are designed to hold negligent parties accountable for harm caused by unsafe food products.

Product Liability – 76 O.S. § 50.1

Oklahoma recognizes strict product liability, meaning that a food manufacturer, distributor, or retailer can be held liable if they sell a defective or contaminated food product that causes injury—even if they were not negligent.

Negligence – Common Law and Duty of Care

Under Oklahoma law, food service providers and manufacturers owe a duty of care to consumers. If they breach that duty by failing to follow food safety practices—such as proper cooking, handling, or sanitation—they can be held liable for resulting illnesses. Plaintiffs (injury victims) must prove:

• The defendant had a duty of care
• That duty was breached
• The breach directly caused the Salmonella infection
• The plaintiff suffered damages as a result

Statute of Limitations – 12 O.S. § 95(A)(3)

Oklahoma law requires that personal injury claims, including those involving foodborne illness, be filed within two years of the date of the illness or when it was discovered.

Wrongful Death – 12 O.S. § 1053

If a Salmonella infection leads to death, surviving family members may bring a wrongful death claim under 12 O.S. § 1053.
