Product Recalls – Do You Have a Defective Product in Your Home?

March 25th, 2008 | Posted in National Issues, Personal Injury by bloom | No Comments »

clock.jpgUnfortunately, there are so many product recalls that it’s impossible to know whether or not everything you own – the car you drive, the toys the kids play with, the kitchen appliances you use, the food you eat – is safe.  

 Use common sense, and if you’ve got any concern whatsoever, check out the product over at recalls.gov.  Never use any product that you’re not 100% sure is safe. 

You can search for product recalls in:

  • consumer products
  • food, medicine, cosmetics
  • motor vehicles, car seats
  • environmental products
  • meat and poultry products
  • boats and boating safety

Really interested in recalls?  Sign up for emails notifying you of future recalls from the Consumer Products Safety Commission, the Food & Drug Administration, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.   

Remember, time is not on your side in a defective products claim ….

If you or a loved one has been harmed by a defective product — do not wait to get legal advice.  The law has specific deadlines, and if you miss the deadline even the worthiest claim will be time-barred. 

Don’t procrastinate!

Mattel Toys – 3 Recalls in 36 Days: What’s all this Danger of Lead Paint?

September 4th, 2007 | Posted in National Issues by bloom | No Comments »

elmorecall.jpgMattel Toys is issuing its third product recall since August 1st, many due to toys manufactured in China where lead paint was used.  In the US, any toy with 0.06% lead paint must be recalled.  That’s not much.

The Associated Press reports that 80% of the world’s toys are made in China, so expect more recalls to follow Mattel’s lead (pardon the pun).

What toys are being recalled?  And, what’s the real danger of lead poisoning anyway? Continue Reading »

This morning, Natural Balance issued a pet food recall of its Chicken Canned Dog Formula (13 oz.), Beef Canned Dog Formula (13 oz.), Lamb Canned Dog Formula (13 oz.), and the Ocean Fish Canned Cat Formula (3oz. & 6oz.).  The company had already recalled its Venison and Brown Rice dog food (wet and dry) and Venison and Green Pea cat food (dry).  

Dog treats and dog chews are getting recalled now, as well.  Natural Balance’s Venison and Brown Rice and all Blue Buffalo dog treats have been recalled, as have dog chews made by T.W.Enterprises. 

Wheat protein and rice protein both appear to be contamination sources (melamine in the wheat; cyanuric acid in the rice).  Many are choosing to avoid all pet food until this danger subsides: accordingly, I’ve culled thru the search engines to find these online collections of  homemade pet food recipes (food and treats).  Here goes: Continue Reading »

This morning, more pet food recalls: the Vets Choice and Royal Canin brands of dog and cat food (dry this time, not like the earlier cuts-and-gravy foods) have been recalled by the manufacturer. On April 10th, MenuFoods expanded its recall to include cat food, as well as dog food, under its brand.

The FDA has an ongoing, updated list of the recalled food at its site (click here). However, as recently as last Thursday, the FDA warned that not all the contaminated food is off the shelf: its nation-wide spot checks reveal store clerks aren’t being vigilant in pulling these products.
