The FDA has published the following warning: Consumers worldwide should not use any ByHeart brand infant formula as all ByHeart products are included in this recall. As we know, as of November 26, 2025, a total of 37 infants with suspected or confirmed infant botulism and confirmed exposure to ByHeart Whole Nutrition infant formula (various […]
FDA held a call Saturday, April 25 to inform industry (but not consumers) of a forthcoming FDA press release (today or tomorrow?) related to an outbreak of Salmonella SaintPaul linked to alfalfa sprouts – AGAIN. The multi-state outbreak began mid-March and is ongoing. Currently 31 cases in Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah and […]
As one reporter I spoke to last week noted: The Facts: The law firm of Marler and Clark has represented victims from every major food borne illness since 1993. Marler has fought for the rights of victims of food-borne illnesses for more than 16 years now and says in that time he has seen no […]
Spoke with Sarah Randag of the ABA last evening after she "shouted out" the Forbes editorial giving a "tip o’ the hat" to what I do. Generally, the ABA tends to look down on the lawyers that represent victims, so perhaps there is a positive trend here? Editor William Baldwin calls attention to an epidemic […]
I sat for a few hours in the Atlanta airport last night during a thunder storm so had some time to finish up my PowerPoint for my speech in a few weeks in London before the Royal Society for Public Health. Here is the PowerPoint – there will be two added videos – which one […]
Had a great chat with William Baldwin of Forbes Magazine for his opinion piece – "Needed: Tort Lawyers" – in the last week about the status of our Nation’s food supply. This interview may be a first for Forbes – that did not skin this trial lawyer alive, nor dip me in a vat of […]

In this issue, we talk to Bill Marler of the Seattle-based Marler Clark, LLP PS. He is the legal profession’s best-known advocate […]
So, said the white board in the manager’s office in the Plainview, Texas Peanut Corporation of America Plant that I visited today. I guess that did not translate into dealing with leaking roofs, mice and cockroaches.
Well, made it from Seattle to Dallas to Lubbock to Plainview today. Had a great steak dinner at the “Rockin’ R Steak House.” They did not have a beer or wine list because they share a back door with their neighbor, the Baptist Church. We parked across the street and had little fear of being […]
This morning I spoke to Debra Weiss of the ABA Journal, who had heard about my twitter challenge and was writing a story on it. We chatted at about 5:30 a.m., as I was on my way to the airport. By the time my plane was boarding, the story was online. Here are some quotes from her story, […]

As I said last week, I have the great honor to once again speak before the Royal Society for Public Health in London next month. My Power Point is due (two days ago), but I got a bit distracted by my twitter challenge and “kid stuff” over the weekend. I did, however, have time to […]
A year ago I hosted a great food safety conference (thinking of doing so again in 2010) entitled "Who is Minding the Store." Governor Gregoire said what everyone was, and should be, thinking: Maybe our goal here should be to put Bill Marler right out of business. And I would bet my friend, Bill, would […]
