According to the complaint, the child ate food at Iguana Joe's on June 18 and suffered symptoms over the next several days. According to the attorneys, the child's doctor ordered tests that returned positive for salmonella.
Local 2 did call Iguana Joe's for a comment on the lawsuit Tuesday. There was not a manager available. However, we are expecting a call back. The employee who answered the phone said the restaurant is still closed.
Health inspectors said they discovered critical violations several times at the restaurant. Those violations included off-temperature foods.
