Father hospitalized in Oct. 2006 for salmonella. He was in hospital 3 different times for this and complications. He hired an attorney in Mar. 2007 for peanut butter. Called our local health depatment to see if we needed to have jars tested and was told to throw away and keep lids. Conagra and FDA said throw away and keep lids. Attorney sent medical records and info to Sedgwick(Conagra reps) and they have denied claim because we do not have the peanut butter to test and no way to prove thats what caused his salmonella because the hospital lab did not type the salmonella. ARE THEY KIDDING ME WITH THIS CRAP!!! So, now filing a lawsuit. Thought Conagra was going to take care of the customers?
Sick for months, reiters syndrome

My mother Mary Grice age 60 ate about half a jar of tainted peanut butter for a week, she suffered flu like symptoms and upon going to the emergency room was taken into surgery and had her gall bladder, appendicitis and part of her intestine removed due to an infection. The recall was not known until afterwards.
She died 4-25-07

My 66-year-old husband ate 3/4 of a jar of Peter pan peanut butter before we found out that there was a problem with it. We checked the jar and sure enough it had the code that showed it was bad. My husband did not feel well and never recovered from it. The doctor ran tests and put him on a heavy duty antibiotic.

As the mother of 4 young adults / teens ages 19, 18, 16, & 15. I was baffled as 2 why they were so sick. It seemed that they were passing along a virus of some sort. First 2 were sick and home from school, then the other 2, as they would feel better, they would have their favorite food (PB & J), then they would get sick again. While calling them out of school I mentioned 2 the school administrator that It was getting frustrating I could not get the symptoms to subside. Them missing several days from school, and me missing days from work I was at my wits end. Finally I saw the recall information on the news.
I rushed to the pantry to see if we had gotten a batch of bad peanut butter, and sure enough it was. After 3 and 1/2 containers of peanut butter, we finally had some clue as to what was causing this annoying problem. Although my children have not been to the doctor, since they stopped eating the peanut butter they have all gotten better. I still have my peanut butter wrapped and put away. I was told without a medical diagnosis from a stool sample there was nothing they would do except to refund the money spent on the peanut butter. So, I sit with my peanut butter in storage waiting to hear the latest news on this matter.

I was poisoned by the Walmart brand of peanut butter. I suffered 3 days of throwing up and severe stomach aches. I missed work and my stomach is still affected by this poisoning.
I missed work and continue to have stomach pains.

I am interested in what is happening with the re-called peanut butter from Con-Agra. 2 of my children became sick..one worse than the other. One threw up at school and one was out for almost a week. We thought it was the stomach flu..I still have the jar and the # on the lid is 21116301001951B.

I ate a peanut butter sandwich and got sick that day. I was sick for a week. I called my doctor and he prescribed medicine however, I was out of work for one week
I lost an entire week at work. I also have back problems so the severe vomiting caused my herniated disk to relapse causing me to lose even more time from work.

Why is Conagra recalling peanut butter products back to 2004? Because they were trying to cover up for themselves. I have written before and I wanted to let you know that my son Colby has had these symptons off and on for the last 1 1/2 years and he was also hospitalized. I couldn't understand about his constant headaches and complaining of his back hurting. Just wanted to spout out some anger towards Conagra again and I will NEVER buy any of their products again!!! I will be buying JIF peanut butter from now on.

I was sick for 2 days with fever/diarrhea and nausea,fatique. When I was watching the news sometime later, I listened to the peter pan peanut butter recall. We have a large commercial size bought at sam's club and it has the recall numbers. My daughter also has been sick off and on with fevers and gastric symptoms
I feel I should be reinbursed for my 2 12-hour shifts missed at the hospital due to being ill. My daughter has missed school from being ill.

I purchased Great Value Peanut Butter (Product Code starting with 2111...)in late January '07 and ate it in sandwiches thru about February 1, 2007, when I became ill with fever, diarrhea and abdominal pain. That condition continued for four days (thru a weekend), at which time I was able to see my doctor (it was a Monday). After examining me, he felt that I had some form of food poisoning. We discussed having a culture made, but I was scheduled to leave the country by Thursday so we agreed to skip that test. He prescribed Cipro, which, by Thursday, had cured the illness. A week or so later, the newspapers and TV covered the salmonella contamination issue of ConAgra Peanut Butter.
Confined to bed for about 4 days and was unable to work. Medical expenses were also incurred for the doctor visit.
