The owners of Kumo Sushi & Steakhouse in Stony Brook are facing at least a dozen lawsuits from customers who fell ill at the restaurant earlier this month.
Lawsuits were filed this week against the now closed restaurant and its parent company, MDBL Corp, on behalf of a teenage dance team of about 10 girls who all became ill after eating at the restaurant.
The Health Department says the restaurant mishandled and improperly stored cooked rice – causing 28 people to get food poisoning.
