Rainbow Cake Recalled by Bakery El Monte Sinai

According to a series of news articles, Bakery El Monte Sinai Corp. has issued a recall for certain rainbow cakes that were produced with undeclared allergens.

The official recall announcement recently issued by the Food and Drug Administration has revealed that these cakes were produced with eggs, although the product’s package does not indicated the presence of the allergen. Because of this labeling issue, certain consumers with a high sensitivity to milk could experience severe allergic reactions as a result.

The recalled item comes in a Styrofoam tray that is wrapped with a plastic. The 10-ounces item has the UPC Code number 5273500209 printed on its label and a code dated 7/8/12.

According to the Food and Drug Administration, the recall was made necessary after the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Food inspectors tested the products and found the presence of eggs, which was not declared in the product’s label.

Although no illnesses or allergic reactions have been reported, the federal agency along the company urges consumers to return this product to the place of purchase immediately.

As a Renton Personal Injury Lawyer, I hope this recall is carried out successfully and smoothly so nobody sustains any illnesses as a result of the consumption of an undeclared allergen. If you have this product in your possession and you just learned about this recall notice, do not hesitate and return the product to the retailer of purchase right away. Ignoring a recall alert can pose a serious health risk to you and your loved ones.

Whenever you or a loved one is injured through the use or consumption of a recalled product, please consider consulting with a Kirkland Personal Injury Lawyer if you live in the area and ask for a quick and free assessment of your case.

A motorcyclist crashed in Suffolk on Monday. The 38-year-old woman was pronounced dead in the wreck, said a representative for Virginia State Police. The crash happened when a 2011 Kawasaki motorcyclist was driving onto an off ramp from I-664. Suddenly, the motorcyclist lost control of the motorcycle. She collided with a guardrail, and both driver and passenger were ejected from the bike. The wreck happened at approximately 2pm. The driver succumbed to their injuries at the scene of the wreck, and the 22-year-old passenger is now being treated at the Sentara Norfolk General Hospital. According to news reports, both riders on the motorcycle were wearing helmets at the time of the crash.

Jonlly Fruits and Natural Tropic Juices Recalled

According to several articles mentioning recall alerts, juices produced and distributed by Jonlly Fruits and Natural Tropic have been recalled over a potential health issue.

Bottles of juices that come in several different flavors have been discovered to present traces of milk derivatives, which are not listed as an ingredient in the product’s label. This issue, according to the firm, could pose a health hazard to consumers with milk allergies or who are highly sensitive to any milk derivatives. In light of the health hazard this juice could pose to unaware consumers, the company decided to pull all units of this juice out of the shelves so a corrected label can be added to the affected bottles.

The Food and Drug Administration urges consumers with these recalled items in their possession should contact the place of purchase to return the product and receive a full refund in response.

It’s my hope as a Kirkland Personal Injury Lawyer that all affected juice units are returned promptly to the place of purchase. I’d hate to learn about a consumer experiencing severe allergic reactions as a result of the consumption of these items. Allergic reactions could be severe and in some cases, deadly. To ensure the safety of your family, heed the recall alert immediately and follow the Food and Drug Administration’s instructions and return any remaining bottles of the juices back to the place where it come from.

Remember that you could consult with a personal injury lawyer near you to learn more about the legal options available to your case if you’re ever injured through the use or consumption of a recalled product. Act fast.

Imaging Drug Amyvid Gains FDA Approval

In a news release, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the approval of Amyvid, a drug used in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging of the brain in individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other types of cognitive decline.

The drug is used in PET scans to approximate certain neuritic plaque density in individuals with cognitive impairment. Neuritic plaques are abnormal clumps of brain cells mixed with amyloid proteins that are present in patients with cognitive impairment.

Director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research Janet Woodcock, MD, stated, “Many Americans undergo evaluations to try to determine the cause for a decline in cognitive functioning. Until now, the brain content of amyloid neuritic plaques could only be determined with a brain biopsy or examination of the brain at autopsy. This imaging agent is one tool to help physicians in the assessment of their patients by serving as an adjunct to other diagnostic evaluations.”

The drug is delivered via intravenous injection and binds to brain amyloid proteins. During the PET scan, a radioactive signal is used to produce images of the plaque in the brain. Common adverse reactions to Amyvid include headache, musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and nausea.

As a Harrisburg personal injury lawyer, I’m glad to learn that advancements in medical research continue to develop safer methods to diagnose patients more effectively. If you’ve suffered adverse health effects through the use of a defective medical device, speak with a Lancaster personal injury lawyer to discuss your legal rights as they pertain to the matter.

Cargill Animal Nutrition Recalls Products Over Dangerous Substances

Cargill Animal Nutrition has voluntarily recalled some of its brands distributed in southern Arkansas, Louisiana, southern Mississippi and eastern Texas, according to several news agencies from all across the country.

The official recall statement that followed the recall alert issued by the company was published at the Food and Drug Administration’s website and according to its contents, the recall was issued due to the presence of high levels of Aflatoxin. Cargill’s Lecompte, Louisiana produced and distributed the feed that is being recalled between September and December of 2011.

Consumers with pets should check their dog feed for the recalled products and codes and contact the company to verify if their feed is affected by this recall.

According to the federal agency, Aflatoxin is a substance that results from the molding of certain crops during growing. Certain animals have a low tolerance to this substance, which could cause health issues in some pets. Anemia, weight-loss, bloody stool and the formation of hematomas could all be the results of the intake of high levels of this substance.

To avoid illnesses, the company has decided to issue a nationwide recall announcement to keep animals and pet owners away from any danger.

As a Bellingham Personal Injury Lawyer, I sincerely hope that all recalled animal feeds are being returned to the place of purchase right away. I encourage consumers to keep it in mind that recalled food items should always be returned to the place of purchase right away. If you have any doubts related to this recall and if it affects you and your pet, all concerns should be directly addressed to the manufacturer at once.

Whenever you or a loved one is injured through the use or consumption of a recalled product, please keep it in mind that you could contact a personal injury lawyer right away to learn more about the legal options applicable to your case.

Driver Survives After Lexus Crashes Into Swimming Pool

A family living in La Puente, California, awoke to an incredibly unique scene when they looked out their window:  a Lexus parked in their swimming pool.

Well, perhaps crashed would be a more appropriate term.  The incident took place just before 5 o’clock in the morning yesterday.  A Lexus GS430 was traveling through a residential area when the vehicle came upon a T-intersection near the family’s home.  Instead of turning, the vehicle reportedly continued to go straight, right through the concrete wall that separates the street from the family’s yard, and on into the swimming pool.

The automobile was quickly submerged beneath the water, but the driver of the vehicle was able to exit by way of the passenger side window.  The family was startled awake thanks to the commotion.  Officials had to bring a crane to the scene of the accident in order to lift the Lexus out of the pool.

Apparently, this isn’t the first time that an accident has occurred in the area.  The family went on record as saying that their wall had previously been hit by drivers of other vehicles as well.  They had joked that one such vehicle would wind up in their pool.

Even a Riverside car accident lawyer like me can still be amazed by the events that transpire on or around California roads.  It just goes to show that you should always take pains to maintain control of your vehicle at all times.  I hope as a personal injury attorney in Riverside that everyone who likes swimming and joyriding works to separate those two hobbies from one another.

Single Vehicle Crash Near Boulder Creek Injures Man and Dog

A single vehicle crash left the driver of a vehicle and his pet pit bull with injuries.

The accident took place north of Boulder Creek at around 5 o’clock at night yesterday.  A Nissan 300 ZX was reportedly driving down the southbound side of Highway 9.  When the vehicle approached the area along the highway near Stapp Road, it went out of control.  The driver was allegedly in the process of crossing over double yellow lines in order to pass cars when he came upon a curve.  Unable to negotiate the highway, he instead crashed this Nissan into a utility pole positioned along the side of the road.

The vehicle rolled over and came to a halt on the highway.  Emergency responders had to be called in to help extricate the driver of the vehicle from the car.  Once they got the man free, he was taken to Stanford Medical Center via helicopter to receive treatment for injuries that were being described as major.

According to the California Highway Patrol, the dog that was in the car at the time of the accident also sustained injuries, but they were minor.  The animal was taken in by the county Animal Shelter.

I’m sad as a San Francisco personal injury lawyer to see another single vehicle crash wreak such havoc.  It just goes to show that you can never be too safe.  It doesn’t take a massive pile-up to cause damage.  I hope as a car accident attorney in San Francisco that everyone understands that.

Future Vehicles Will Be ‘Computers on Wheels’

Media outlets reported that auto shows and tech conferences worldwide are currently showcasing vehicle models that are expected to dominate the road landscape in a decade, and some are already being manufactured.

Automakers are strong in their vision that, by 2030, municipal streets will be teeming with small, driverless vehicles that are capable of directing traffic flow, negating the need for traffic lights. The vehicles themselves will be constructed of collapsible, lightweight materials that will allow the owner to store them in the smallest of parking spaces. Cloud computing will allow drivers to work on projects, play games and listen to their favorite music during their commutes while their vehicle does all the work. Currently, tech giants Microsoft and Google are working with various auto companies like Ford and BMW to develop the software that will interconnect all vehicles.

Other auto visionaries are envisioning a future of less cars altogether, made possible through people sharing vehicles. With driverless vehicles the main goal of many tech companies and automakers alike, multiple vehicles could supply one neighborhood without ownership having to be assigned. The only thing developers say they cannot anticipate is how the public will react to these innovations. Senior analyst at the auto industry-consulting firm HIS Automotive Mark Boyadjis stated, “It will be a different kind of automotive experience. But for it to take shape, we need a seismic change in people’s attitudes toward cars… and early adaptation of technology (by) consumers, automakers and infrastructure.”

As a Harrisburg car accident lawyer, I’m glad to hear that both automakers and tech companies are working toward a future where traffic fatalities are a thing of the past and look forward to future developments to this end. If you suffered an injury in a crash that you think was the result of a defective auto product, it could be beneficial for you to speak with a Harrisburg personal injury attorney.

Driver Pulled from Car After Route 29 Wreck

A 34-year-old man in Albemarle County was injured in a car wreck recently. Authorities said the victim was trapped inside his car after he collided with a tree. The crash happened around midnight east of Route 29 when the driver collided with the tree and was ejected from his vehicle. The Jaws of Life was used by emergency crews to pull him from the crashed vehicle. He was immediately transported to a nearby hospital via an ambulance helicopter. No other cars were involved in the wreck, and the roadway was immediately closed. It reopened by 4am. According to news reports, the wreck remains under investigation by authorities. The driver was charged with driving under the influence.

As a Springfield car accident lawyer, my thoughts are with those harmed in this wreck and I hope they heal fully from their injuries. I hope nobody else was involved in this wreck. If you or someone dear to you was harmed in an auto accident caused by negligence, discuss your case with a Springfield personal injury lawyer who can evaluate your claim and help protect your rights. When you have an attorney on your side, you are more likely to get the results you deserve for your case.

 

Salsa Cycles Company Recalls Bicycle Racks

On account of the recent receipt of reports of bicycle racks breaking at the mounting straps and causing injuries to several riders, Salsa Cycles has issued a voluntary recall of 1,100 units of Salsa Minimalist bicycles racks.

According to the information found in recent news articles, this particular recall has been deemed necessary after it was identified that the potential cracking of the item’s L-shaped mounting straps may cause the bicycle attached to the rack to fall. According to the official recall statement issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, if the bicycle falls from the rack, users could be injured.

All Salsa Minimal bicycle racks that were sold since January 2011 are listed under this recall notice. The company is now notifying registered owners. Meanwhile, the company has urged consumers to remove the recalled racks with immediate effect.

It’s my sincerest hope as a Kirkland Personal Injury Lawyer that all units of these racks manufactured in Taiwan are inspected and re-mounted before anybody is severely injured. I’m sad to hear that incidents were reported before this recall alert was issued and hope that the company is able to identify and address similar issues in the future in a more efficient way. I hope that all recalled bicycle rack owners who were injured in past incidents are fully recovered from their wounds.

Whenever you or a loved one is injured in an incident caused by a recalled and faulty product, you might want to consider consulting with a Vancouver Personal Injury Lawyer near you to have your case assessed by a proficient attorney right away.
