Who May Be Held Liable for Food Allergy Injuries?

Multiple parties along the food supply and service chain may bear legal responsibility when unsafe food leads to an allergic reaction

Restaurants and Food Handlers

Can be held liable for failing to follow allergen safety protocols, miscommunicating ingredients, or allowing cross-contamination in the kitchen.

Manufacturers and Processors

Are required to label common allergens clearly and prevent contamination during production.

Retailers and Grocery Stores

May be liable for selling mislabeled, expired, or recalled products.

Schools and Daycares

Must protect children with food allergies through care plans, training, and allergy-safe environments.

Legal Grounds for Food Allergy Lawsuits in Arizona

Arizona law allows victims of allergic reactions caused by negligent food handling to pursue claims under several legal theories:

Strict Product Liability
Arizona applies strict liability to defective or dangerous products. If a food item contains an undeclared allergen or is contaminated, victims may not need to prove intent or negligence (A.R.S. §§ 12-681 to 12-689).

Negligence
If a business fails to act with reasonable care to prevent allergen exposure, it may be held liable for resulting harm (A.R.S. § 12-2505).

Breach of Warranty
When a product is sold as “safe” or “allergen-free” but causes a reaction, the seller may be liable for violating an implied warranty under Arizona’s version of the Uniform Commercial Code (A.R.S. §§ 47-2313 to 47-2314).

Premises Liability
Property owners, such as schools and restaurants, must maintain a safe environment, which includes protecting visitors from foreseeable allergen exposure.

Arizona’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of injury (A.R.S. § 12-542), so timely action is critical.

What Happens During a Mesa Food Allergy Case?

Consultation and Evaluation

A Mesa food allergy attorney begins by reviewing your medical records, purchase receipts, allergy history, and any communications with the business or manufacturer involved.

Investigation

Evidence is gathered, including food labels, menus, surveillance footage, staff statements, and health inspection reports. Your lawyer may also work with experts to confirm allergen presence.

Filing a Claim or Lawsuit

A demand letter is sent to the wrongful party or their insurer, detailing the evidence and the amount of compensation you seek to resolve the claim. Your lawyer will handle all communication and if needed, will file a civil complaint in court and begin discovery.

Negotiation or Trial

Many cases resolve in settlement, but your attorney is fully prepared to go to trial if necessary to secure the compensation you deserve.

Compensation

You may be entitled to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and long-term medical needs.
