Toddler Diagnosed with Salmonella Poisoning
The recent Salmonella outbreak linked to peanut butter has some young victims. A fourteen-month-old boy was seriously sickened after eating Great Value peanut butter, according to his mother, Sara Burrow of Shreveport, Louisiana. After more than a week of a “mystery illness,” doctors diagnosed the toddler with Salmonella poisoning, and the distraught mother sought out legal counsel.
The Salmonella contamination in Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter has most likely sickened thousands. Most of these victims, however, did not seek medical help and do not have a case against ConAgra, the manufacturer. If you are reading this and have just recovered from symptoms of Salmonella poisoning after eating Peter Pan or Great Value peanut butter, Salmonella may still be in your system and detectable with a stool sample. If you sick months ago and didn’t go to the doctor, you most likely do not have a case.
