Washington man sues Kellogg for Salmonella poisoning.

Washington native Bill Rector has sued Kellogg Co. for failing to ensure that peanut butter crackers manufactured by the company were “safe, wholesome [and] free of defects.” Rector and his daughter were hospitalized in January with symptoms of Salmonella infection.

Kellogg is facing seven lawsuits alleging their peanut-based products sickened consumers with Salmonella. The bacteria was found in their Austin brand peanut butter crackers. This incident is part of the wider Salmonella outbreak associated with products made with ingredients supplied by the Peanut Corporation of America. Bill Marler, the attorney representing the Rectors, calls this a “memo” to companies to “use common sense” while buying products.
