Peanut Butter Recall: Free Lawsuit Review |
|
| Nationwide, the Centers for Disease Control report that over 425 persons in 44 states have been made ill from eating Salmonella-tainted peanut butter sold under the Peter Pan and Great Value brand names. |
| The affected jars of Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter have a product code located on the lid of the jar that begins with the number "2111." Both the Peter Pan and Great Value brands were manufactured in a single facility in Georgia by ConAgra Foods. Great Value peanut butter made by other manufacturers is not affected. Single serving packets of Peter Pan peanut butter have also been recalled. |
| A team of attorneys representing consumers
sickened by Salmonella-contaminated peanut butter produced
by ConAgra Foods, inspected the Sylvester, GA facility in 2007 and
found a dead rat, over a 100 rat traps, bird feathers, roaches crawling
on raw peanuts, peanut dust covering machinery and other things “consistent
with salmonella contamination,” according to a court
document filed on April 25, 2007. |
| This discovery contradicts statements made by ConAgra Foods, which contends in an April 5, 2007 press release that the February Salmonella outbreak was traced to problems with the physical components of its Georgia processing plant. Reportedly, moisture from a leaky roof and faulty sprinkler mixed with dormant salmonella bacteria from raw peanuts and peanut dust, which then contaminated jars of peanut butter. |
| If you or a family member have suffered a
serious injury or a loved one has died after being exposed to Salmonella from tainted food, you may be eligible to file a claim. |

injured person may file a lawsuit seeking compensation for his or her

punitive damages. |
| Lieff Cabraser is actively representing persons
stricken with Salmonella poisoning from contaminated Peter Pan
and Great Value peanut butter. |
|
 |
| Salmonella has
been found in a ConAgra Foods Inc. facility as part of an extensive
investigation into contaminated peanut butter, U.S. health officials
said on Thursday. The
FDA said the company had sent bulk Peter Pan peanut butter to its plant in Humboldt,
Tenn. There, it was incorporated into various ice cream,
sundae and shake toppings. Click
