Families from Missouri and New York have sued ConAgra Foods Inc. over a salmonella outbreak linked to its peanut butter, and William B. Marler, the attorney representing both families, said more suits will follow. The outbreak has sickened nearly 300 people in 39 states since August. The possible link to tainted peanut butter became known last week when Omaha, Neb.-based ConAgra and the Food and Drug Administration announced a product recall.
