Food Safety To Be Featured At 2010 DRI Product Liability Conference In Las Vegas
Despite a national food safety system that has defined our food supply as one of the safest in the world, food-borne illness continues to impact many Americans. The CDC estimates that, each year, nearly 76 million people are affected by some type of food-borne illness.
In turn, given recent improvements in outbreak surveillance, more illnesses are being identified and more outbreaks are being reported. By extension, many outbreaks are being associated with an increasing number of variable sources, and more companies are – either directly or indirectly – being affected.
So, where can you turn when hungry plaintiffs’ lawyers or voracious government regulators come knocking? Reserve a spot at the table, and be sure join us at this year’s Food Law Specialized Law Group Session (“SLG”) during the DRI Product Liability Conference April 7-9, 2010 in Las Vegas.
The Food Law SLG is scheduled for the afternoon of Thursday, April 8, 2010, and will feature presentations on product warnings, packaging and claims defense. This year, I’ll be speaking about emerging food safety regulations now on the horizon. With an exceptional faculty, and smorgasbord of, well, delectable insight, we are truly looking forward to satisfying any appetite.
And, in case you were wondering, food isn’t the only thing on the menu at this year’s annual convention. In addition to presentations on food safety, the annual meeting also offers premier educational and networking opportunities, along with numerous general sessions and additional workshops designed to provide helpful insight across the entire product liability spectrum.
