New lawsuit for peanut butter maker

The southwest Georgia peanut butter maker linked to a salmonella outbreak faces another lawsuit. The parents of an Indiana girl have filed a federal lawsuit against foodmaker ConAgra Foods. ConAgra’s plant in Sylvester, near Albany, is the source of salmonella-tainted peanut butter that reportedly sickened 600 people in 47 states. The Indiana couple says the peanut butter caused their 11-year-old daughter’s kidneys to fail. She is set to receive a kidney from her father on Monday. ConAgra faces several lawsuits stemming from the outbreak.
