J.M. Smucker Co. Issues Recall on Thousands of Jars of Peanut Butter for Salmonella Risk

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, J.M. Smucker Co. is set to recall thousands of 16-ounce jars of chunky peanut butter due to a possible salmonella risk. The products in question have a "Best if Used by" date of either August 3, 2012, or August 4, 2012. The jars have been distributed to stores throughout the nation.

Commentary
As I've mentioned in previous blogs, food injuries are a delicate side of product liability law. Many people do experience real side effects from consuming tainted product, but may not realize the civil ramifications from these injuries. If a consumer becomes sick from a product, but their symptoms are only minor (like headaches, nausea, fever), the damages may not warrant the costs of filing a lawsuit against a food maker. However, when discussing salmonella, the possibility of hospitalization is always present, and could make the damages such that there is good financial sense in filing a claim.
