Dangerous Baby Slings Should Be Recalled
The suffocation dangers associated with certain kinds of wearable baby carriers and baby slings were highlighted Tuesday in a keynote address by Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Chairman Inez Tenenbaum.
Baby slings are fabric devices that allow parents to transport their babies while holding them close to their bodies.
Daniele Salami Salmonella Victims Turn to Pritzker Olsen Attorneys
Pritzker Olsen Attorneys are representing several Salmonella victims in a multistate outbreak linked to recalled salami (or salame) products made by Rhode Island-based Daniele International, Inc. Most of the cases our attorneys are investigating involve the Salmonella serotype Montevideo, but one involves Salmonella Senftenberg. All are associated with the Daniele Salmonella salami outbreak that has so far sickened 230 people in 44 states and the District of Columbia, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). More than 50 of those victims have been hospitalized.
Infantino Slingrider Suffocation Case
The children’s product safety lawyers at Pritzker Olsen attorneys are currently representing the parents of a three-month-old child who suffocated while being carried in an Infantino SlingRider Infant Carrier.
Although this case involves suffocation, 100,000 Infantino SlingRider carriers have also been recalled due to plastic sliders (located on carrier straps) that can break, allowing infants to fall out of the carrier.
Hidden Risks of Salmonella in Spices
Although Salmonella is not a pathogen commonly associated with spices, a recent Salmonella Montevideo outbreak associated with Daniele brand salami, as well as the story of one Pritzker Olsen client both highlight the potential dangers of pepper contaminated with Salmonella.
Pritzker Olsen Clients Fight for Food Safety
The families of two Salmonella victims that Pritzker Olsen attorneys represented are now pursuing food safety causes on a national scale by urging U.S. Senate members to pass Senate Bill 510, the “FDA Food Safety Modernization Act.” Nellie Napier of Ohio and Shirley Almer of Minnesota both died in a peanut butter Salmonella outbreak last year that sickened more than 700 people and killed nine.
Recalled Magnetix Toys Still Pose Intestinal Damage Risk
Magnetix building sets, recalled originally in March 2006 by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) after one child died, continue to pose serious risks to children.
The magnets in these building sets can fall out of their plastic casing. If swallowed, they can stick together in a child’s digestive system, causing intestinal tearing and blockage.
