LOS ANGELES—A longtime employee of See’s Candy Shops Inc. is suing the company, alleging that poor coronavirus protocol in the packaging warehouse in Carson, Calif., caused her to contract the disease in 2020 and later infect her husband and one of her daughters, ultimately causing her spouse’s death at age 69.
Maria Saucillo of Upland, the widow of the late Gilbert Saucillo Jr., brought the negligence/wrongful death suit Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, seeking unspecified damages. Maria Saucillo’s two daughters, Emma Saucillo and Patricia Flynn, also are plaintiffs. A See’s representative could not be immediately reached.
