    Posted May 11th, 2012 By in Personal Injury, Product Liability, Product Recall With | No Comments

    In a press release, Jonlly Fruits Inc, in cooperation with and in compliance with the standards and guidelines of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), announced the allergy alert and voluntary food safety recall of certain Jonlly Fruits and Natural Tropic brand beverages due to the undeclared presence of the allergen sodium caseinate, a milk derivative.

    The recall affects all Jonlly Fruit and Natural Tropic brand beverages, including China, Acerola, Uva, Parcha, Fruta, Limon, Toronja, Guava-Pina, Guanabana, China Light, Mandarin, and China-Zanahoria, that were packaged in 1-gallon and 64-ounce plastic containers. The beverages were available through supermarkets, bakeries and retail stores and can be identified by their expiration dates from March 1, 2012 to July 2, 2012, located on the labeling. This recall was put into action after the FDA alerted the company that the products had been distributed in packaging that did not disclose the presence of the milk derivative. The recipe for the recalled beverages has since been adjusted to remove the milk derivative from the products and temporary labels have been produced for products not yet distributed, declaring the presence of sodium caseinate.

    Individuals with an allergy or severe sensitivity to milk and milk products are at risk of experiencing a serious or life threatening allergic reactions should they consume these products.

    Consumers are advised to verify the expiration dates of the products in their possession. If consumers find these recalled products in their possession, they are encouraged to contact the company directly.

  • FDA Announces Rule on Sterility Testing

    Posted May 11th, 2012 By in Personal Injury, Personal Injury Lawyer, Product Liability With | No Comments

    News sources reported that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced the final rule on sterility testing for biological products. The rule amends requirements for the sterility testing of the majority of licensed biological products.

    The announcement is a reaction to the recent retrospective review of the FDA’s regulations in order to promote improvement and innovation, as well as Executive Order 13563, which is meant to improve regulation and regulatory review across the board.

    In a statement, the FDA said it recognizes the ways in which innovation effects bringing safe, effective products to the market in a timely and cost-efficient way. The rule was developed in the effort of reviewing and, as necessary, updating the regulations governing biological products to maintain pace with the technological developments in the field of biologics, as well as boosting regulatory science in the agency.

    The amendments to the regulations of sterility testing in biologics will give manufacturers of those products the flexibility needed to keep pace with developing technological and scientific advancements in that field.

    In a press statement, Kennedy International Inc, in association with and in compliance with the standards and regulations of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), announced the voluntary safety recall of folding step stools because of the fall hazard the stools pose to consumers.

    The recall affects approximately 1.6 million folding step stools in the United States, as well as 64,000 stools in Canada, that were sold through HomeGoods, Marshalls, TJ Maxx and other retail outlets across the nation from January 2010 through January 2012. Both 9-inch and 13-inch Kennedy International folding step stools are included in this recall. The 9-inch and 13-inch stools can be identified by the style numbers 3575 and 3576, respectively. This recall was initiated after the company learned that the folding step stools could potentially break and collapse without warning, resulting in a fall hazard to consumers. The company has received 15 reports of incidents of the stools cracking or breaking, including 2 reports of back injuries and a single report of a fractured leg.

    Consumers are being asked to stop using the recalled stools at once and to contact the company to receive a full refund.

  • Ducati Motorcycles Recalled Due to Crash Hazard

    Posted May 10th, 2012 By in Personal Injury, Product Liability, Product Recall With | No Comments

    In a press release, Ducati North America, in conjunction with and in compliance with the rules and regulations of the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), announced the voluntary safety recall of certain model year 2012 motorcycles due to an issue with the brakes that increases the risk of a crash for consumers.

    This recall applies to roughly 283 model year 2012 Streetfighter, 848, Hypermotard, Multistrada, and Monster motorcycles that were available across the nation through authorized Ducati dealerships. The recall was set into motion after the company discovered that friction material in the rear brakes could potentially detach from the backing plate of the rear brake pads. If this were to happen, there would be a spontaneous loss of effective rear braking power, resulting in an increase in stopping distance and the risk of a collision.

    Ducati is planning to notify owners affected by this recall, although no schedule for this action has been confirmed. Owners will be asked to set up an appointment at an authorized Ducati dealer where mechanics will inspect and make the necessary repairs as needed for free.

    As a Harrisburg car accident lawyer, I have witnessed this kind of safety recall several times over the course of my career and I understand the injuries that can occur through the use of a defective auto product.

  • Bassinets Recalled Because of Fall Hazard

    In a news statement, Kolcraft Enterprises Inc, in cooperation with and in compliance with the standards and guidelines of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), announced the voluntary safety recall of Kolcraft Tender Vibes & Light Vibes bassinets due to a fall hazard that they present to children.

    The recall affects approximately 46,000 Kolcraft Tender Vibes & Light Vibes bassinets that were available through mass market and independent juvenile specialty stores across the country and online from July 2008 through May 2012. The Tender Vibes bassinets can be identified by the model numbers KB021-ARC, KB022-VER, KB039-CMR1 and the Light Vibes bassinets can be identified by the model number KB043-BNT1, located on one of the legs of the metal frame. This recall was initiated after the company learned that the latches attaching the bassinet base to the metal frame could potentially remain unlocked while appearing to be locked. This defect would allow the bassinet to detach from the metal frame, resulting in the bassinet falling and, if a child is present, possibly injury. The company has received 7 reports of the latches detaching from the bassinet frame, including one child that was bruised after sustaining a fall inside the bassinet during a detachment.

    Consumer are being advised to stop using the recalled bassinets at once and to contact the company directly to receive repair instructions and a free kit that will secure the latches to the frame.

  • Inflatable Pool Slides Recalled Due to Deaths, Neck Injuries

    Posted May 10th, 2012 By in Personal Injury, Product Liability, Product Recall With | No Comments

    In a news release, Wal-Mart Stores Inc and Toys ‘R Us Inc, in association with and in accordance with the rules and guidelines of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), announced the voluntary recall of inflatable Banzai in-ground pool water slides due to a defect that poses injury hazards to consumers and the lack of adequate warning labels.

    This recall applies to all Banzai in-ground pool water slides that were sold through Wal-Mart and Toys ‘R Us locations across the nation from January 2005 through June 2009. The recalled water slides are made of blue vinyl with a yellow sliding mat and can be identified by the barcode number 2675315734 and model number 15734, found on the original packaging. The recall was put into action when the CPSC informed the companies that the slides could partially deflate during use, allowing consumers to strike the ground underneath the slide, possibly sustaining an injury. The CPSC is aware of 3 incidents where the slides deflated, resulting in consumer injury and, in one case, death.

    Consumers are being strongly urged to stop using the recalled slides at once and to return them to the closest Wal-Mart or Toys ‘R Us location for a full refund.

    As a Harrisburg personal injury lawyer, I’m deeply saddened to learn of the injuries involving this product and hope that other models can be obtained quickly to prevent future injuries. Manufacturers have many safety measures in place to ensure the quality of their products; however, occasionally, mistakes are made. If you’ve sustained an injury through the use of a defective product, consult a Lancaster personal injury lawyer to talk about the possible legal avenues that could be open to you.

  • ‘Tuna Strips’ Recalled Due to Possible Salmonella

    Posted May 10th, 2012 By in Personal Injury, Product Liability, Product Recall With | No Comments

    In a press statement, Moon Fishery Pvt Ltd, in conjunction with and in compliance with the standards and regulations of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), announced the voluntary food safety recall of “Tuna Strips” Product of India AA or AAA Grade because of the possibility that this product has been contaminated with Salmonella.

    The recall applies to all 22-pound cases of “Tuna Strips” Product of India AA or AAA Grade that were shipped to four wholesalers in Georgia, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York. This recall was initiated out of an abundance of caution when the FDA alerted the company to the possible contamination after a test sample from a lot, not yet in distribution, tested positive for Salmonella. Because the four wholesalers could have potentially broken the cases into smaller portions for further distribution, production of this product has been suspended until the company and the FDA have completed their investigation into the scope of this issue. The products could be identified by their original white cardboard packaging with black writing, naming the importer Moon Marine USA Corporation and inner contents Tuna Strips AA or AAA. There is no further labeling on the vacuum-wrapped packages held within. To date, no illnesses have been reported in relation to this recall.

    Distributors and restaurants are being urged to contact their suppliers to determine whether any Tuna Strips in their possession are included in this recall.

    As a Harrisburg personal injury attorney, I’ve witnessed this type of food safety recall before and am aware of the severe illnesses that can result from the handling and consumption of a contaminated food product. If you’ve suffered adverse health effects due to the handling or consumption of a contaminated or otherwise defective food product, contact a Lancaster personal injury attorney.

    This recall applies to approximately 1,100 Salsa Minimalist bicycle racks that were available through bicycle retail stores across the country and online from January 2011 through March 2012. The recalled racks are comprised of tubular aluminum finished in either black or silver and are designed to be mounted to either the front or back of the bicycle. The recall was initiated when the company discovered that the L-shaped mounting brackets used to attach the rack to the bicycle could potentially break and result in the rack spontaneously detaching from the bicycle. If this were to happen while the bicycle is in motion, the rack would pose a fall hazard to the rider. Salsa Cycles has gotten two reports of the recalled bicycle racks breaking at the mounting brackets, resulting in falls and minor injuries.

    Consumers are being advised to remove the recalled racks from their bicycles at once and contact their nearest authorized Salsa Cycles dealer to receive a free inspection service, re-mounting or full refund.

To date, no reports of injuries have been received in association with this recall.

    Consumers are being advised to remove the hooded sweatshirts from children and extract the drawstring to remove the hazard. Consumers are also encouraged to return the sweatshirts to any dd’s Discounts location to receive a full refund.

  • Alfalfa Sprouts Recalled Because of Possible Listeria

    Posted May 9th, 2012 By in Foodborne Illness, Product Liability, Product Recall With | No Comments

    In a news release, Cleveland Beansprouts Co, in association with and in compliance with the standards and regulations of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), announced the voluntary food safety recall of all alfalfa sprouts produced by the company due to concerns the sprouts may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

    This recall applies to every batch of alfalfa sprouts produced by Cleveland Beansprouts. These products do not feature lot codes or other identifying markers on the packaging other than the company label. The recall was set into motion after a test sample was taken by the Ohio Department of Agriculture while enforcing the United States Department of Agriculture’s Microbiological Data Program, and the sample tested positive for the presence of Listeria. Thus far, no illnesses have been reported in relation to this recall.

    Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can result in severe and occasionally fatal infections in people with compromised immune systems. Symptoms of exposure to Listeria can include fever, intense headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Listeria has also been known to result in miscarriages and stillbirths in pregnant women.

    Consumers in possession of the recalled sprouts are strongly urged to discard them immediately.

    As a Harrisburg personal injury lawyer, I have witnessed this kind of food safety recall several times before and I understand the dangers that contaminated food products can pose to consumers. If you’ve fallen ill due to the consumption of a contaminated food product, it could be in your best interests to consult a York personal injury lawyer to learn more about your legal rights as they apply to the matter.
