This news bulletin is being issued by the Federation of American Consumers and Travelers
(FACT) as part of its on-going efforts to keep its members -- and the public in general --
aware of any matter which can seriously affect their lives.
FACT is a not-for-profit association which was founded in 1984 and which provides a variety of benefits -- ranging from medical insurance and dental care discounts to prescription drug savings and timely consumer information -- for more than 1 million Americans.
Vicki Rolens, managing director of FACT, says: “At this time, the FDA reports there is no indication that any national name-brand jars of peanut butter sold in retail stores are linked to the recall. We suggest, however, that the consumer check the Web site or to call the toll-free number listed on peanut butter packaging to get updates from the manufacturer.”
Questions may be directed to FACT by sending an e-mail to cservice@usafact.org. More information on the Federation of American Consumers and Travelers may be found in the Encyclopedia of Associations, and by visiting the association's web site (http://www.usafact.org). The organization was formed under the not-for-profit corporation laws of the District of Columbia in 1984. Its administrative office is located at 318 Hillsboro Avenue, Edwardsville, IL 62025.
