ConAgra Peanut Butter Salmonella Outbreak Litigation
Marler Clark filed a class action lawsuit against ConAgra on February 20, 2007. The class action lawsuit was filed on behalf of all individuals who became ill with symptoms of Salmonella infections, but were not hospitalized as a result of their infections. The class action lawsuit followed on the heels of two lawsuits Marler Clark filed on Friday, February 16, 2007.
The firm has tested hundreds of jars of peanut butter, and continues to test jars provided by our clients. There are several thousand jars of peanut butter that may be tested and the laboratory cannot test all these jars at the same time.
Since the outbreak, Marler Clark has been working closely with other attorneys throughout the country who, like us, represent large numbers of injured consumers. Based on what we have already learned, it is clear than the problems at the Sylvester, GA plant were more systemic than presently admitted by ConAgra. We have retained experts in all the relevant disciplines that will assist in uncovering all of the problems at the plant.
