Man Claims Bad Burrito Put Him In A Wheelchair
(CBS4) Tampa A Tampa man has filed a suit against Mexican restaurant claiming he can no longer feed himself because an uncooked chicken burrito put him in a wheelchair.

In his suit, Roger Anderson said soon after eating a burrito at a Moe's Southwest Grill in Land O' Lakes, he became sick with stomach cramps, diarrhea and joint pains.

Anderson's attorney claims the burrito caused a bacterial infection, which led to a disease that affects the body's nerves.

Anderson and his wife are suing the Tampa-based G-C-F Ventures L-L-C, which operates the restaurant.

In a statement, the company said all of its employees are trained in safe food handling and preparation practices, and the restaurant is regularly checked by health inspectors.
