Massachusetts attorney Thomas M. Kiley concentrates in product liability law. The most talked about recall products right now are the peanut products produced by Peanut Corporation of America that are causing people to become sick from salmonella bacteria. The contaminated products are affecting not only the general public, but also food banks and schools.
A recent article in the New York Times, says that school lunch programs in California, Idaho, and Minnesota received peanut products that could have been tainted. The products they received were not on the first list of recalled products, but the recall list has since expanded.
The salmonella outbreak has affected 43 states (see http://www.msnbc.com for interactive map of states affected) and resulted in 1,313 products being recalled by the Federal Drug Administration. The outbreak has sickened at least 575 people and contributed to eight deaths.
