"This is a very unfortunate situation for consumers. If ConAgra can't guarantee safe food, it shouldn't be selling it. We encourage consumers to preserve the evidence of the store-bought product. ConAgra is advising consumers to throw away the product and just save the UPC seal. We disagree with ConAgra's advice; the contaminated product is important evidence and needs to be safely preserved," said Rob Jenner, partner with Janet Jenner & Suggs, LLC.
SCHIFFRIN BARROWAY TOPAZ & KESSLER, LLP and JANET, JENNER & SUGGS, LLC. have established a registry for victims of Salmonella poisoning to document their injuries and illnesses. If consumers purchased or ingested the ConAgra or Banquet Pot Pie products and are concerned that they have been exposed to Salmonella they can go to www. Salmonella-recall-registry.com and register
their complaints and/or injuries. Upon investigation, registered complaints of injury will be forwarded to the proper health authorities.
Salmonella poisoning can lead to symptoms that can appear 12 to 72 hours after infection which include diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps. The illness usually lasts four to seven days. In severe cases, the infection may spread from the intestines to the blood and then to other sites in the body, sometimes causing death. Treatment includes antibiotics.
If you or anyone you know believes that you have contracted Salmonella
as a result of consuming the pot pie products and want to discuss your
rights, please contact either Schiffrin Barroway Topaz & Kessler, LLP
