Peanut Butter Attorney

A "peanut butter attorney" is the legal professional to turn to if food poisoning has befallen you or your family member in the 2008–9 peanut butter Salmonella outbreak . More than 1,000 products containing peanuts processed at a Georgia facility have been recalled, and on Feb. 9 the plant's owners (PCA) finally admitted that their peanut products were sold to retail outlets in addition to government institutions. Available nationwide, the Salmonella contaminated products have sickened hundreds of people and caused eight deaths.

Lost work time, physical and emotional suffering, and medical bills are among the costs to a food poisoned individual that a peanut butter attorney may be able to recover.

Not the First Peanut Butter Salmonella Problem

This peanut butter linked Salmonella outbreak is not the first in the U.S. In February 2007, U.S. consumers were advised by the FDA to throw out all Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter purchased since December 2005 because of possible Salmonella contamination. By July 2007, over 600 people from 39 states had become sick from the contaminated peanut butter and 20 percent of those required hospitalization. According to the FDA, Salmonella poisoning in people with weakened immune systems could lead to potentially fatal complications.
