Finally this family will receive some recompense for suffering allegedly caused by this young girl's favourite snack, in what might turn out to be another victory for consumers.

INDIANAPOLIS - When Krystina Brugh fell ill in January, her parents thought it was the stomach flu. They fed her crackers and her favorite sandwich, peanut butter and marshmallow fluff, to give her strength. She didn't get better. Soon, the 11-year-old couldn't even keep down water, and her kidneys started to fail.

Krystina's parents believe they know the cause of her illness — salmonella-contaminated peanut butter — and on Thursday, they filed a federal lawsuit against foodmaker ConAgra Foods Inc. They are seeking unspecified damages.
