A jury in Illinois has ordered Chicago-based Conagra Brands to pay $7.1 million to a Pennsylvania woman who was badly injured in 2017 when a can of cooking spray ignited in a commercial kitchen at her workplace and set her aflame. Conagra Brands is the parent company of Pam and many other high-profile food brands. A Cook County Circuit Court jury ruled Monday that the company must pay compensatory and punitive damages to Tammy Reese of Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. According to a lawsuit, Reese suffered deep second-degree burns on her head, face, arms and hands when “suddenly and without warning” a can of cooking spray “exploded into a fireball."
