Peanut Butter Lawsuit

More than 1,000 food products containing peanuts or peanut paste have been recalled as of February 2009, due to confirmed Salmonella contamination. The contaminated peanut ingredients in these foods are from Peanut Corporation of America (PCA), which is now under criminal investigation. Hundreds of people have been sickened by food items with PCA peanuts, and eight people have died due to the Salmonella poisoning.

Although Salmonella poisoning often dissipates on its own without treatment, it can cause serious complications in some people, particularly children, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems.

If you or your loved one contracted salmonellosis recently, you may be entitled to recover your losses by filing a peanut butter lawsuit.

Why File a Peanut Butter Lawsuit?

Negligent manufacturing processes can put consumers at risk, and it’s important to hold giant corporations responsible for the harm their negligence or wrongdoing causes. By filing a peanut butter lawsuit, you may be able to get compensation from Peanut Corporation of America (PCA) — the manufacturer of the contaminated peanut products — for losses including:

Mental anguish
Pain and suffering
Hospital bills
Related expenses

Your lawsuit may also entitle you to punitive damages; that is, damages intended to punish the defendant(s).

Statute of Limitations

A lawsuit regarding PCA peanut butter food poisoning is subject to a statute of limitations; that is, a deadline restricting the time you have to file your lawsuit. To ensure you are within the statutes in your state, you should consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer near you.
