The bugs are a common insect found within the warehouse plant, and were not found in the majority of the Similac formulas, according to the company. The affected products were sent throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, Bermuda and 17 other countries. There is also the concern that many hospitals use Similac formula to give to newborns who cannot be breastfed.   Similac has set up a website to deal with the recall and has provided a number for consumers to call to find out which of the products was affected. Some of the lots of the recalled products include: Similac Advance LCP with iron powder, Go and Grow milk powder and Isomil Advance Powder. None of the liquid formula was affected. 

This product recall was fortunately issued before there were any reported cases of illness.  It has not been determined by the company if ingesting these bugs can cause serious physical damage to the baby. Regardless, if your baby has experienced any type of illness or strange behavior, please contact a physician as soon as possible.

The recall affects 96,000 of the play sets in the United States and about 14,000 of the play sets distributed in Canada. The figure has been reported to break at the waist, which presents the choking danger for young children.  The seven piece sets have the product number R6935 and the name Sonya Lee is located on the underside of the figurine. Only figures that can bend at the waist and have a green sweater and purple camera are affected by the recall, the other pieces in the set were not affected. The Play N’Go Campsite was sold at many retailers around the country for $15 starting from October 2009 through August. Consumers who have the product are being asked to stop using it immediately and to contact Fisher Price for a free replacement. The recall was announced in news release. For more information call Fisher Price at 800-432-5437. 

Children’s toys are always a concern when purchased or received for a young child. Most of the time they are assumed safe and non hazardous, but it is important for parents to be aware of cases like this one when the toys are considered dangerous. No parent should ever have to go through having a child injured or killed due to a defective toy. The manufacturer is responsible for any hazard their product presents. If your child has been injured or killed by a recalled toy, then contacting an Arizona personal injury attorney is your best option to receive the compensation you and your family deserve. 

The ignition switch can lead to a vehicle rolling away and causing a collision. The ignition key interlock is problematic because they can be damaged or worn after use. When the ignition key is damaged or worn it could remove completely and cause the car to roll away.   The recall will affect 197,000 Honda Accords and 117,000 Honda Civics from the 2003 model year and roughly 69,000 Element vehicles from the 2003 and 2004 model years in the United States. Honda released a statement that said it had received many complaints about the failure and is aware of a few incidents with only one resulting in a minor injury. The company stated that they will be notifying customers about their vehicles necessary repairs by late September and encourages affected vehicles to contact a dealer as soon as possible after receiving the notification.

Vehicles are depended upon in millions of families across the country. When you purchase a new car you expect that the car will last years before encountering any problems. You certainly never expect that a manufacturer problem can potentially kill or harm any of your loved ones.  A major manufacturer like Honda has the responsibility to ensure that every part of their vehicles is safe and reliable for every family. Any negligent manufacturer must be held responsible for injuries that occur from faulty items. If you or a loved one has been injured from an item that has been recalled, contacting an Arizona personal injury attorney is your best option for compensation.

The company has stated that they have not received any complaints or reports of illness as a result of the contaminated dog food. The report states that twenty-six states have been affected by the recall. Anybody that purchased the recalled dog food can return it to the store from which they bought it and get a full refund.

Salmonella can not only affect animals but also people. In this instance, the contaminated dog food becomes the source from which the dogs get sick and then pass the illness on to their owners. There are several symptoms that can affect both animals and humans alike including vomiting, stomach pain, fever, and diarrhea. The recall from the Natural Balance company is exactly the kinds of preventative measures a company should take in order to ensure the safety and health of their consumers.

No deaths have been reported as a result of this outbreak, however. According to the report, the CDC is currently investigating this specific outbreak. The man that filed the lawsuit had to remain in a medical facility not only for the salmonella illness but also because of injuries he suffered after fainting due to the virus’s effects.

This is one of many outbreaks of salmonella that have occurred in recent weeks as a result of contaminated food products either sold in the mass market (such as these Marie Callender’s meals) or sold in restaurants like Subway and others. Salmonella poisoning is a very serious illness that can have drastic effects on a person’s health and it can even cause a fatality if the disease is not treated. In particular salmonella causes rapid dehydration which can eventually kill someone. Anybody who contracts the disease should seek immediate medical attention.

The Great Value brand of Fully Cooked Chicken Nuggets is currently sold in Wal-Mart stores throughout the nation. At the time the report had been posted, no incidents of illness had been reported. The U.S. Agriculture Department’s Food Safety and Inspection Service have urged customers to see a physician if they are concerned about injury or illness resulting from consuming this product.

Food safety is a factor that all companies should be aware of and should maintain. Many food borne illnesses can occur from a variety of reasons including contaminants such as metals, chemicals or other contaminants. These contaminants can cause illnesses such as food poisoning which can be very harmful if it is not handled early. Many people have been killed as a result of contracting food poisoning. Roughly 27 million people have been killed after contracting food poisoning and not taking care of it in time. The fact that Perdue Farms has announced this recall shows their concern for the safety of their consumers.

According to the report, the subpoena was issued 3 weeks ago on June 29^th and requested documents related to broken or otherwise malfunctioning relay rods for the vehicles. The malfunctioning relay rods caused either partial or total loss of control in steering. An incident with the relay rods occurred as far back as 2004 in Japan which injured five people. In an unrelated incident, in April Toyota was forced to pay $16.4 million in fines because they failed to announce a recall of gas pedals that were sticking.

Toyota has faced a huge amount of scrutiny because of the issues that have been increasing with many of their vehicles. This subpoena is not the first that Toyota has faced according to this report. In addition, Toyota has also faced several recalls and product liability lawsuits since September because of many defects and malfunctions with their vehicles.

The cat food was sold nationwide and contained a lack of thiamine which cats need in their food in order to be healthy. The vitamin is necessary for the health of the cat’s central nervous system.   When a cat does not have enough thiamine for a long period of time, a variety of things can occur. 

The symptoms that your cat may feel if they have been eating the cat food includes: loss of weight, vomiting, loss of appetite, salivation, downward curving of the neck, wobbly gait, falling, and seizures. Different breeds of cats may experience only some of symptoms and sometimes all. If you think that your cat is suffering from a thiamine deficiency then contacting a veterinarian as soon as possible. The risk of your cat suffering any serious health problems is lowered if your cat was eating the defective cat food along with other cat food. The other Iams food was not at risk. If you purchased the defective cat food you may pursue a refund with Procter & Gamble who has someone available from 9am until 7pm at the following number: 877-340-8826.
