Man claims Blue Bell made him sick; Health Dept. says no confirmed cases of listeria in Ark.
MAUMELLE, Ark. (KTHV) - Concerns came to the THV11 newsroom after several people eat Blue Bell Ice Cream at a birthday party at a local business.
Blue Bell announced a nationwide recall of all their products on Monday. This comes after 10 people got sick across the country. The ice cream was served at Jump Zone, an inflatable indoor playground in Maumelle, before that recall expansion.
The Nelson family stated that a family member got stomach symptoms after eating ice cream at the location last Sunday. They sent THV11 the statement below:
"Like many people, we just assumed it was another gastrointestinal bug. After days of illness, we finally decided to seek medical care at Prime Care in North Little Rock. They inquired specifically about the lot number on the individual containers. We were advised that he had Listeria since he had come into contact with the contaminated ice cream."
