E-Coli In Japan

NPR's Julie McCarthy reports that more than 200 children in Japan have been hospitalized and thousands more affected by an outbreak of food poisoning that authorities believe is related to the E-Coli (Ee KOH-lie) bacteria. E-Coli has been linked to lethal cases in the United States ... all believed to be caused by eating beef that was not adequately cooked.
