Recently the FDA reported more peanut butter may be contaminated with salmonella than previously thought. Plus, hundreds of pet food products have also been recalled. News Three has received many calls from concerned viewers looking for advice.

Food recalls are on the rise. "Many people come to attorneys because they get the runaround," said Ross. He also says that often times, the consumer gets ignored when a massive food recall occurs.

Before you see an attorney, there are a few steps you must take on your own. "They need to report it to the business where it happened. They need to insist a written report is made," said Ross.

If you don't want to seek legal action, Ross says there are other options. "Contact the FDA to report the injury and see if they can get any action," he said.
