According to news sources, a recall has been issued for about 2,000 units of Living Traditions 21-inch Rooster Lamps after it was found that the product posed a fire or shock hazard.
The company, Designs Direct, announced the recall in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission after it was discovered that the product had an electrical cord that could potentially fray near the lamps base, thereby posing a fire or shock hazard to consumers. The recalled product has an SKU 61589 and has been sold for a retail price of about $20.
There have been no reported injuries in connection with the recalled product to date. The recalled lamp was manufactured in China.
Consumers with the recalled lamp should stop using it immediately and contact the company at (888) 770-7062 for a refund.
As a personal injury lawyer San Diego, I’ve seen recalls of this kind in the past and know the severity of the hazards they entail.

If you or a loved one has been injured through the use or consumption of a defective product, speak with a San Jose personal injury attorney to learn about the legal options available to you. Please, continue to visit our blog for regular updates about unsafe and dangerous consumer products.
I thought I would bring you news of another product recall that happened over the weekend in case you missed it.
The product in question is called Jammy Sammy Strawberry Jam and Peanut Butter Sandwich Bars. 8,150 units are affected by this recall, which was issued because an inner wrapping did not provide the requisite safety information. The product listed above contains peanuts, which the outer wrapping says in its ingredient listings. However, some of the individual items were incorrectly labelled with a different product’s packaging materials that did not mention having peanuts in the ingredients list. Both products have a warning about the items being made in a facility that processes peanut products.
The items were sold all across the country and came in a 5 ounce package with a Best By date of June 28, 2012 and a UPC of 8 96766 00116 6. Purchasers can return the product to the place where it was bought for a full refund.
As a personal injury attorney in San Jose, I understand how a product that contains peanuts can affect those with allergies or sensitivities to that product. Luckily, no adverse effects have been reported yet in conjunction with this product, and it’s my hope as a Fresno personal injury lawyer that it stays that way and no incidents happen.
S & M USA Enterprise has announced a recall of Zhang Zhou Brand Tremella, as it may consist of sulfites that are not mentioned on the labels, posing a risk of an allergic reaction to those sensitive to that material.
The product in question was sold in New York and New Jersey. A regular sampling by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets and an ensuing product analysis led to confirmation of the sulfite presence. A mere 10 milligrams of sulfite can cause anaphylactic shock in sulfite-allergic individuals, but no illness has been reported thus far. Buyers may return the product to the purchase location.
The item, which was imported from China, comes in a 150 gram plastic bag and does not have any identifying codes.
As a personal injury attorney in Long Beach, I know that just about any food item on the market can face a recall. Even if the presence of an ingredient isn’t hazardous to everyone, it’s crucial that labeling is correct so that the portion of the population that would be endangered by the item knows so before purchasing a product. It’s my hope as a Fresno personal injury attorney that this problem gets corrected before anyone gets hurt.
Vitaflo USA has issued a recall of a product designed to be used in the dietary management of pediatric renal disease.
The product in question is Renastart 14.11 ounce cans. The batch number, which is listed on the underside of the product, is 12832. The recall was announced because certain of the items may have been labelled improperly. The product was shipped from December 29, 2011 to January 26, 2012, across the United States.
Renastart is a powdered medical food for patients one year and older. Usage of the misidentified product can lead to high potassium or sodium levels in the blood. These and other long term issues such as increased calcium, phosphorus, and protein levels can have a lasting impact on a user’s health and potentially lead to death.
No illnesses have been reported as yet. Consumers of the affected product should stop using it at once, and if a patient has already ingested the product, then a healthcare professional should be contacted immediately to help seek nutritional management alternatives and stave off adverse effects.
I’ve seen a number of recalls as a personal injury lawyer in Riverside, but the ones that sadden me the most are recalls aimed at products used by children, especially when said products are meant to benefit a child’s health. As a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer, I hope that all affected consumers learn about this recall information before it’s too late.
If you have a food allergy, then you know how important informational labels on products can be. But when those same labels have incorrect information, the results can be hazardous to your health.
That’s why Walgreen Co. today announced a recall of certain packages of 13 ounce Walgreens Chocolate-Covered Raisins. Instead of containing the chocolate encased raisins as the label might suggest, the package was actually filled with Walgreens Bridge mix containing peanut, almond, and soy products. The product can be returned for a full refund.
The recall came after a consumer suffered an allergic reaction and complained to the company. In an effort to prevent a similar situation, stores have already been instructed to stop selling the product, which can be identified by chocolate covered raisins pictured on a blue and white bag. The affected product has a Best By date on the back label that reads “Oct 42012A1”, a UPC of 04902245661, and an item number of 280217. It was sold in Walgreens stores in the Northeastern and Western U.S.
As a personal injury attorney in Riverside, I’ve seen firsthand how food allergens can harm unwary consumers. Companies need to make sure their products are labelled properly so that danger can be avoided, and if not, a recall should be immediately forthcoming. As a Riverside car accident lawyer, I know that a food recall can be just as important to safety as a car recall.
Food and cleaning solutions do not mix.
This combination can be deadly if not corrected, and today Montreal-based Saputo has announced a recall of a milk product sold in Ontario and Aylmer, Quebec, because the product in question may be contaminated with a cleaning solution.
The recalled item is called Neilson Trutaste two percent Microfiltered Partly Skimmed Milk. It comes in four liter bags and bears the UPC code 066800 00404 4. The best-by date on the tab reads February 12.
Even though the milk in question may smell normal and look normal, drinking it is another matter. Ingesting the product may lead to an upset stomach, nausea, or vomiting. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has already reported one incident of a negative reaction to the item, and they are continuing to monitor the situation.
As a personal injury attorney in Los Angeles, I understand how vital a recall can be to food safety. When you go shopping for products for your family to share around the dinner table, they need to meet a certain safety standard. That standard doesn’t involve cleaning products intermingled with food or drink, obviously. As a Los Angeles personal injury attorney, I’m glad to see this recall take place before more people could be affected.
To many, there’s nothing more relaxing than a couple rounds of golf at a local club. That is, unless you lose control of your golf cart and crash.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, along with the Columbia ParCar Corporation of Wisconsin, has announced a recall of certain 2009, 2010, and 2011 Columbia ParCar golf carts, low speed service and utility vehicles. They were sold by ParCar dealers between July 1, 2008 and July 31, 2011 and ranged in price from $5,000 to $12,000. For the affected VIN numbers and specific units, please see the CPSC’s website. About 1,400 of the vehicles are affected.
The problem involves the proclivity of the lower steering yoke to become loose where it connects with the steering rack and pinion. If this happens, control can be lost and the vehicle may crash. If your vehicle is affected, you can bring it to a local ParCar dealer for a free inspection and maintenance.
As a San Francisco personal injury lawyer, I find it unfortunate that this product is experiencing these problems, but hopefully the recall information can filter out before any consumer is negatively affected. As a personal injury lawyer in San Francisco, I would hate to see someone hurt while engaging in a seemingly low-risk activity.
Recall information can sometimes act like a light in the darkness, warding off danger to ensure that you, the consumer, remains safe from potentially hazardous materials.
Today, this proves literally true as the recall concerns a certain type of flashlight. BJ’s Wholesale Club has announced a recall of around 41,000 LED flashlight and battery sets.
The product is question is a Superex SAFETOGO LED flashlight and battery pack. The pack includes a 9.5 inch flashlight with 10 LEDs, two six inch flashlights with seven LEDs, seven D batteries and four AA batteries. The flashlights are made of red and black plastic and the UPC 0-56986-01008-3 and SKU 700935 are printed on the back of the package.
The flashlights may pose a fire hazard in that they can heat up, smoke, or melt when turned on. Two incidents have been reported at this time, one where the product overheated and even one in which the product burned and issued a loud noise. One consumer suffered a minor injury to his or her hand.
The item, which was sold at BJ’s for $15 between July and December 2011, can be brought back to the store for a full refund. Consumers should stop usage at once.
As a personal injury lawyer in Ventura, I’ve seen a number of cases where a product can malfunction. Recalls are essential in keeping consumers safe, and they should be heeded by all product users. That way, you can avoid an injury that could lead you to a Ventura personal injury lawyer like myself.
Food and toy products are what are typically recalled due to dangers of illness or faulty constitution, but many other products can pose a danger as well.
Toronto-based California Innovations, along with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, has issued a recall for a couple of food storage products due to the danger posed by leaking freezer gel.
The first product announced was an insulated lunch box with freezer gel packs, sold in Costco, Leon Korol, and Cost U Less stores between May 2007 and September 2008. 248,000 of the lunch boxes are affected. Gel can leak out of the packs and cause harm if ingested. There was one reported instance of a dog chewing the pack and dying as a result of ingesting the gel inside.
The other product recalled for similar reasons is an expandable food carrier sold in Wal-Mart between August 2008 and December 2011. 55,000 units are affected.
Consumers should immediately cease using the products, which were each manufactured in China, and return them to the stores for a full refund.
As a Fresno personal injury lawyer, I hate to think about how such a seemingly innocuous product can have such awful unintended consequences. Being a personal injury lawyer in Fresno, I think it’s a tragedy that an animal died before the problem was corrected.
1.6 oz bottles of Jones’ Mock Salt Original and Jones’ Mock Salt Spicy Southwest Blend (each considered an organic salt free seasoning) have been voluntarily recalled due to a possible salmonella contamination of the product.
The press release was posted to the FDA. The celery seeds used in the blend are the ingredient that faces a possible contamination. Jones Seasoning Blends LLC are not themselves responsible for the spread of salmonella; rather, the supplier of the seeds has been recalling their product, leading Jones to follow suit.
No illnesses have been reported as of yet in conjunction with the recall. Affected locales include markets and grocery stores in Washington, California, and Minnesota, as well as internet orders through the Jones website.
If you or someone you know has purchased any of the mentioned products, please discontinue usage immediately As a personal injury lawyer in Long Beach, it’s always good to see recalls happen before any potential damage has done, and to continue to prevent this damage, it’s important to heed any and all warnings. Recalls are an important part of keeping our state and country in good health, and as a Long Beach personal injury attorney, I would advise following recall information closely.
