I Got My Peter Pan Rebate Check!
By JLP | March 20, 2007
I just checked the mail and noticed that I got a letter from ConAgra, the makers of the Peter Pan Peanut Butter that was recalled earlier this year. I’m impressed with the fact that ConAgra is taking a proactive stance with this matter instead of trying to get out of their duty. This is going to cost the company a lot of money but in the long run it could turn out to be a major feather in their cap!

wow, I’m impressed..
I can’t believe how fast the turn around for your money was. This company is definitely a good company. Makes me want to switch from my Jif to Peter Pan. Good for them!

D,
It reminds me of the way Johnson & Johnson handled the Tylenol crisis back in the 80s.

My significant other returned two jars of the affected “Great Value” peanut butter to Wal-Mart for a refund.
I guess this actually goes to show that this particular generic product really is just as good as a name brand. After all, they used the same peanuts and processing factory as Peter Pan. Hard to imagine that it’s too much different.

Oooohhh, that was a bad pun and I am sooo surprised nobody else commented about it yet, Tinker Bell.

Walmart will take back almost anything. I once bought a pair of shoes for work and asked if I wore them and they weren’t comfortable, can I bring them back? THEY SAID YES. I could bring back used, worn shoes, even with some minor marks. They worked out, so I didn’t return them, but I could have!

Well you all may have your rebate but I’m still waiting. I applied July 30, 2007 and then contacted them again Oct. 19, 2007. Now it’s a new year and I guess I got lost in the shuffle. Sorry Peter Pan, here come Jiffy.
