Attorney Fred Pritzker is providing a FAQ page on the Pritzker | Ruohonen website regarding Salmonella lawsuits and the current Salmonella outbreak linked to Great Value and Peter Pan peanut butter. He answers questions about evidence, liability and damages. Click here for the Salmonella lawsuit FAQ.
"Foodborne illness is a complicated legal specialty. There are not many lawyers with significant experience and multimillion-dollar recoveries," says Pritzker. "From my experience, I know how important it is that injured people get answers to their legal questions. Our website's frequently asked questions section provides the victims of the current outbreak with a good outline of the legal issues involved."
The following are two questions and answers from the FAQ page located on
Pritzker's website:
Do I need to have the jar of Great Value or Peter Pan peanut butter from which I ate?
No, you do not need to have the jar of Great Value or Peter Pan peanut butter to file a lawsuit against ConAgra (the company that owns the Peter Pan peanut butter and Great Value peanut butter brands), the store from which you bought the peanut butter, or others. As part of this Salmonella outbreak investigation, health officials have taken stool samples of victims. Tests on the stool samples provide a genetic fingerprint of the strain of Salmonella that has made the victims of the outbreak sick. Each Salmonella outbreak has its own unique strain of Salmonella bacteria, in this case a genetically-unique strain of Salmonella Tennessee. If the Salmonella bacteria that made you sick has the outbreak's genetic fingerprints, the CDC will consider your case a laboratory-confirmed Salmonella case linked to this Great Value and Peter Pan peanut butter outbreak.
Do I need to make sure my stool sample is tested?
Yes, your stool sample should be tested for Salmonella. The Salmonella found in the stool should also have genetic testing done on it to determine if it is the outbreak-strain of Salmonella Tennessee. For free assistance in this matter, you can contact a lawyer at Pritzker | Ruohonen by calling toll-free at 1-888-377-8900 or submitting the firm's online consultation form.
