Three people have died and three others were hospitalized related to a Listeria outbreak linked to milkshakes sold at a Frugals restaurant near Tacoma. A lawsuit has been filed that claims Frugals is responsible for infecting Thurston County resident Charles Roberson, leading to his hospitalization and death. Documents from the lawsuit say Roberson had a milkshake from this Frugals sometime between March and April 2023. In early May, he was hospitalized in Olympia due to neck and arm numbness and pain and had surgery. Ultimately, he was admitted to St. Joseph’s in Tacoma where he died of Listeria complications. The lawsuit says the listeria bacteria found in Roberson matches what was found in the others who had milkshakes from Frugals.
