Conagra Brands has been ordered by a jury in Illinois to pay $7.1 million in damages to a Pennsylvania woman who suffered severe burns when a can of Swell cooking spray exploded in a kitchen at her workplace. The verdict is the first of many similar cases involving burn victims and Conagra-made cooking spray brands. The company, which owns popular food brands such as Pam, Marie Callender's, and Chef Boyardee, has more than 50 pending cases against it.
