ATLANTA (AP) — An attorney representing victims of the salmonella outbreak is set to tour the Peanut Corp. of America processing plant in Georgia linked to the nationwide salmonella outbreak.
Attorney Bill Marler is scheduled to visit the Peanut Corp. plant in Blakely Thursday with a team of experts. The plant was at the heart of the salmonella outbreak that sickened hundreds and was linked to the deaths of at least nine people.
Peanut Corp. is based in the Lynchburg area, with its headquarters in Bedford County just over the city-county line.
Marler is one of several plaintiff's lawyers who have filed lawsuits against the company, which has filed for bankruptcy.
He toured a Peanut Corp. plant in Plainview, Texas, on Wednesday, saying he saw leaks and openings that animals could use to enter the building.
