Federico's Mexican Food, a restaurant in Litchfield Park, Ariz. is attempting to do right by its customers after leaving 74 of them explosive, "bloody" diarrhea. Federico's is pleading with customers to come back, offering free food if they do, even though it's the food that left people's stomachs (and possibly more) in ruin. 

As part of their pledge to make things better, they've hired "Queen of Clean" Linda Cobb to eliminate the E. coli O157 bacteria that triggered the diarrhea nightmare.

Many of the victims filed a lawsuit againt Federico's parent company, including one man whose bouts of diarrhea were described as "grossly bloody." Why don't free burritos in the wake of a diarrhea outbreak sound like the best idea?
