CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A lawsuit has been filed against Papa John's Pizza after thousands of people were exposed to hepatitis A.
The suit filed last week seeks $10,000 in damages.
The Mecklenburg County Health Department said people who ate at the Papa John's on Cambridge Commons Drive between March 24 and April 7 may have been exposed.
A manager at the pizza shop found out he had the virus.
Free vaccines were given to treat anyone who ate there.
