According to news sources, a grant aimed at increasing safety on the roadway has been awarded to the Pittsfield Police Department to help them in their ongoing effort to maintain enforcement of crosswalk laws as well other safety measures.

The $7,500 safety  grant was awarded to the department by The Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security. The stated goal of the grant is to educate motorists, bicyclists as well as pedestrians on how to share the road with one another. Also part of the grant are funds specifically designed to increase enforcement of crosswalk laws to protect both motorists and pedestrians alike.

The latest grant being released to the department is only part of an ongoing, $159,000 effort being awarded to ensure increased public safety.

As a personal injury lawyer Los Angeles, I appreciate all efforts being made to increase safety awareness and enforcing safety laws among motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists. Hopefully this ongoing safety campaign will yield tangible and concrete results and improve the safety of our roadways. As a Los Angeles car accident attorney, I hope that supplying this information will assist those wanting to find newer and better ways to stay safe.

By Los Angeles Personal Injury Lawyer on December 6, 2011

According to news sources, U.S Marshals received calls from The Food and Drug Administration to seize Syntec Inc. dietary supplement products due to false claims by the manufacturer in regards to the effectiveness of the drug to treat and cure certain diseases.

The FDA announced the measure after the manufacturer reportedly introduced new products to the market without FDA review. The marketing claims of the new drugs state that it could be used to prevent, treat or cure diseases such as cardiovascular disease and asthma, among others. The dietary supplements have brand names BoneCare, CardioCare, DigestiveCare, JointCare, SynBio, SynBio-X, SynCell, SynGevity, SynOmega, SynOPC, SynOPC-X, SynPhyto-K, SynVita, and VisionCar, the FDA said.

The agency has said that the claims of the company are not approved by the FDA.
