INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - 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.
"She's tired of the illness, she's also tired herself," said Krystina's mother, Christina. "She's not got the energy like she used to."
