Great Value and Peter Pan Peanut Butter Lawsuit Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have the jar of Great Value peanut butter 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.
What if I have the jar of Great Value or Peter Pan peanut butter?
If you have the jar of Great Value or Peter Pan peanut butter that you ate from before you got sick, DO NOT THROW IT AWAY AND DO NOT GIVE IT TO CONAGRA OR THE STORE WHERE YOU PURCHASED IT. The jar of peanut butter is valuable evidence that you need to preserve. You will need to consult an attorney regarding having the peanut butter tested for Salmonella. 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.
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. Our Salmonella attorneys have experience with genetic testing procedures and will be of help to you.
What damages can I ask for in a Great Value or Peter Pan peanut butter lawsuit?
In a food poisoning lawsuit, you can usually ask for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering and emotional distress. With the assistance of Pritzker | Ruohonen, the spouse of a food poisoning victim sued for loss of comfort and companionship as a result of her spouse’s emotional and psychological injuries. If someone dies from food poisoning, some states do not allow claims for pain and suffering and emotional distress. In those states, it may still be possible to obtain significant compensation for loss of comfort and companionship.
