In November 2009, 5 lots of this product were recalled due to consumer reports of an unusual moldy, musty, or mildew-like odor that was associated with nausea, stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea.  The odor is caused by the presence of a chemical   2,4,6-tribromoanisole, believed to be the breakdown of a chemical used to treat wooden pallets that transport and store packaging materials.

<p>Fort Washington, PA – In consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), McNeil Consumer Healthcare, Division of McNEIL-PPC, Inc., is expanding its voluntary recall to include all available product lots of <strong><em>TYLENOL® Arthritis Pain Caplet 100 count bottles, with the distinctive red EZ-OPEN CAP</em></strong> (Full list of lot numbers provided below). In November 2009, 5 lots of this product were recalled due to consumer reports of an unusual moldy, musty, or mildew-like odor that was associated with nausea, stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea.  The recall is being expanded, as a precaution, to include all TYLENOL® Arthritis Pain Caplet 100 count bottles with the distinctive red EZ-OPEN CAP.</p>
<p>The uncharacteristic smell is caused by the presence of trace amounts of a chemical called  2,4,6-tribromoanisole.  The source of 2,4,6-tribromoanisole is believed to be the breakdown of a chemical used to treat wooden pallets that transport and store packaging materials. The health effects of this compound have not been well studied, and to date all of the observed events reported to McNeil were temporary and non-serious.</p>
<p>Consumers who purchased TYLENOL® Arthritis Pain Caplet 100 count bottles with the distinctive red EZ-OPEN CAP from the lots included in this recall should stop using the product and contact McNeil for instructions on a refund or replacement.   For these instructions or information regarding how to return or dispose of the product, consumers should call 1-888-222-6036 (Monday-Friday 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time, and Saturday-Sunday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time) or log on to the internet at<a href="http://www.tylenol.com/">www.tylenol.com</a>.  Consumers who have medical concerns or questions should contact their healthcare provider.  Any adverse reactions may also be reported to the FDA’s MedWatch Program by fax at 1-800-FDA-0178, by mail at MedWatch, FDA, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20852-9787, or on the MedWatch website at <a href="http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/ucm2005699.htm">www.fda.gov/medwatch</a>.</p>

<p>The Procter &amp; Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) announced today it is voluntarily recalling three lots of its Vicks Sinex nasal spray in three countries:  the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom.</p>
<p>The company said it is taking this precautionary step after finding the bacteria <em>B. cepacia</em> in a small amount of product made at its plant in Gross Gerau, Germany.  There have been no reports of illness.  However, the bacteria could cause serious infections for individuals with a compromised immune system, or those with chronic lung conditions, such as cystic fibrosis.  <em>B. cepacia</em> poses little medical risk to healthy individuals.</p>
<p>P&amp;G detected this problem during routine quality control at the plant and promptly took action.  The company’s analysis to date shows this problem is limited to a single batch of raw material mixture involving three lots of product.  These three lots were sold only in the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom</p>
<p>P&amp;G is removing the product in question from store shelves and has informed regulatory authorities in the affected countries.  P&amp;G said it found the bacteria <em>B. cepacia</em> in a small amount of product from U.S. lot 9239028831 and is conducting testing on the U.K. and German lots that have been produced from the same batch of raw material mixture.</p>
<p>The lot numbers of the products involved are:</p>
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="500">

</table>
<p>This lot number is listed on both the outer carton and the bottle.  Consumers should simply discard the affected product as they would any OTC medicine.</p>
<p>P&amp;G is removing the product in question from store shelves and has informed regulatory authorities in the affected countries.  P&amp;G said it found the bacteria <em>B. cepacia</em> in a small amount of product from U.S. lot 9239028831 and is conducting testing on the U.K. and German lots that have been produced from the same batch of raw material mixture.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Unilever Conducts Nationwide Voluntary Recall of Slim-Fast® Ready-to-Drink Products in Cans Due to Possible Health Risk</h3>
<p>Englewood Cliffs, NJ, December 2009 &#8211; Unilever United States, Inc., in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is conducting a nationwide voluntary recall of all Slim-Fast® ready-to-drink (RTD) products in cans, due to the possibility of contamination with Bacillus cereus, a micro-organism, which may cause diarrhea and possibly nausea and/or vomiting. The probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Timco Worldwide Inc. issuance of a voluntary recall of Large Seedless Watermelons because of possible health risk</strong></p>
<p> Davis, CA &#8211; November 22, 2009 – Timco Worldwide Inc. is recalling a limited number of its Large Seedless Watermelons because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this occurrence. Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.</p>
<p>In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis. The Large Seedless Watermelons included in this voluntary recall were distributed to select grocers, wholesalers and processors in California and Texas. The Large Seedless Watermelons are stickered with the “MelonUp!” label with the PLU (Price Look Up) # 4032 and UPC # 0 33383 40240 6. The potential for contamination was noted after routine testing, by a distribution company, which revealed the presence of Salmonella on the outside rind of a melon randomly selected for testing. Timco Worldwide Inc. elected to exercise an abundance of caution and initiate the recall in the interest of public health. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this occurrence. Consumers who have purchased Large Seedless Watermelons in the markets noted above (with the MelonUp! label) are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.</p>
<p>Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-530-757-1000 press “4” for Food Safety. (Hours of business: Monday through Friday 8AM to 5PM PST). As with all fresh fruits and vegetables, Timco Worldwide Inc recommends that fresh melons are washed before cutting and/or consuming them.</p>

<h3>Jelly Belly Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Peanuts in 7.5oz cylinder-style packages of 49 Flavors Jelly Belly jelly beans</h3>
<p> <strong>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</strong> – Fairfield, Calif. – November 4, 2009 &#8212; Jelly Belly Candy Company is recalling 7.5-ounce cylinder-style packages of 49 Flavors Jelly Belly jelly beans because the package is incorrectly labeled.

People who have an allergy to peanuts or a severe sensitivity to peanuts run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these ingredients.</p>
<div id="attachment_221" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 260px"><a href="http://www.eichenlevinson.com/"><img class="size-full wp-image-221" title="jellybeans" src="http://elclaw.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/jellybeans.jpg?w=250&#038;h=250" alt="Jelly Belly 49 Flavors Jelly Bean - Peanut Allergy Alert" width="250" height="250" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Jelly Belly 49 Flavors Jelly Bean - Peanut Allergy Alert</p></div>

Product was packaged in a clear 7.5-ounce acetate cylinder with white label on the bottom of the package with lot codes <strong>090925</strong>, <strong>090928</strong>, <strong>090929</strong> or <strong>091001. </strong>UPC code 071567989398</p>
<p>The recall was initiated after the company’s quality control efforts identified the incorrect ingredient statement. No illnesses or allergic reactions have been reported to date.  No other candies or packaged candies from Jelly Belly are a part of this recall, and there is no health risk for consumers who are not allergic to peanuts.</p>
<p>Consumers who have a peanut allergy and purchased this product in the last five weeks are urged to return it to Jelly Belly Candy Company, One Jelly Belly Lane, Fairfield, Calif., 94533. Consumers and retailers with questions about the recall should call the Jelly Belly Hotline at 800-522-3267 Monday-Friday 7 am to 5 pm PST</p>

<p> <strong>Company Contact:</strong><br />
1-866-236-8417<br />
<a href="mailto:%20service@bodybuilding.com">service@bodybuilding.com</a></p>
<p>Boise, ID &#8211; November 3, 2009 – As part of its ongoing cooperation with the Food and Drug Administration (&#8220;FDA&#8221;), Bodybuilding.com, LLC (the “Company&#8221;) announced today that it is conducting a voluntary nationwide and international recall of all lots and expiration dates of 65 dietary supplement products (the &#8220;Recalled Products&#8221;) described on the attached list, that were sold through the Company&#8217;s website, <a href="http://www.bodybuilding.com/" target="_blank">www.bodybuilding.com</a>.</p>
<p>The FDA has informed the Company that it believes that the Recalled Products contain ingredients that are steroids. Specifically, the FDA has advised the Company of its concern that the Recalled Products may contain the following ingredients that are currently classified, or the FDA believes should be classified, as steroids: &#8220;Superdrol,&#8221; &#8220;Madol,&#8221; &#8220;Tren,&#8221; &#8220;Androstenedione,&#8221; and/or &#8220;Turinabol.&#8221; While the Company has not had an opportunity to independently confirm the FDA&#8217;s concerns that the Recalled Products in fact contain these ingredients, the Company is undertaking this voluntary recall in an abundance of caution.</p>
<p>Acute liver injury is known to be a possible harmful effect of using steroid-containing products. In addition, steroids may cause other serious long-term adverse health consequences in men, women, and children. These include shrinkage of the testes and male infertility, masculinization of women, breast enlargement in males, short stature in children, a higher predilection to misuse other drugs and alcohol, adverse effects on blood lipid levels, and increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and death.</p>
<p>The Company has not received to date any reports of adverse events in connection with the Recalled Products. Because of the possible harmful effects of using products containing steroids, the Company is cooperating with the FDA to conduct a recall of the products the FDA has identified as containing steroids. Prior to agreeing to carry the Recalled Products, the Company received assurances from all of the manufacturers of the Recalled Products that these products were properly classified as dietary supplements in compliance with federal law, meaning that these products did not contain any unlawful ingredient. Customers who have any of the Recalled Products in their possession should stop using them immediately and contact their physician if they have experienced any problems that may be related to taking one or more of the ingredients listed above.</p>
<p>Any adverse events that may be related to the use of the Recalled Products should be reported to the FDA&#8217;s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online [at <a href="http://www.fda.gov/MedWatch/report.htm" target="_blank">www.fda.gov/MedWatch/report.htm</a>], by phone [1-800-FDA-1088], or by returning the postagepaid FDA form 3500 [which may be downloaded from <a href="http://www.fda.gov/MedWatch/getforms.htm" target="_blank">www.fda.gov/MedWatch/getforms.htm</a>] by mail [to MedWatch, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20852-9787] or fax [1-800-FDA- 0178].</p>
<p>The Company is committed to providing accurate information about its products. The Company is working voluntarily with the FDA in this recall process.</p>
<p>Consumers should return any unused products purchased on the Company’s site to the Company. For instructions on how to return Recalled Products please call (<strong>1-866-236-8417</strong>) or e-mail (<a href="mailto:%20service@bodybuilding.com">service@bodybuilding.com</a>) the Company.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align:center;">Plum Organics Voluntarily Recalls Select Batch of<br />
Apple &amp; Carrot Portable Pouches Due to Potential Health Risk</h3>
<p align="left"><strong>Contact:</strong><br />
Kate Sobel<br />
Email: press@plumorganics.com<br />
Phone: 646.416.6446</p>
<p align="left"><strong>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</strong> &#8211; October 19, 2009 &#8211; Emeryvillle, CA &#8211; Plum Organics ™ announced today that it is taking the precautionary measure of voluntarily recalling one particular batch of its 4.22oz. Apple &amp; Carrot Portable Pouch baby food with the best by date May 21, 2010 and marked with the following universal product code (UPC) #890180001221 located on the bottom of the package. These pouches are sold individually at Toys-R-Us and Babies-R-Us locations nationally.</p>
<p align="left">No illnesses have been reported in connection with this product and no other Plum Organics products are affected. As a further precaution, samples from every Plum Organics product manufactured before and after this batch were tested and found to be within quality standards.</p>
<p align="left">The recall was undertaken as a precaution due to the risk of potential contamination with Clostridium botulinum, which can cause botulism, a serious and sometimes lifethreatening condition. Consumers should not use these products, even if they appear to be normal, because of the possible health risk. Symptoms of botulism poisoning in humans include general weakness, dizziness, double-vision and trouble with speaking or swallowing. People experiencing these problems should seek immediate medical attention.</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;The product did not meet the FDA guidelines for proper acidity level,&#8221; said Dr. Paul Gerhardt, a Food Science Ph.D. and member of the Plum Organics action team. &#8220;Though the risk of illness from this one batch is minimal, Plum Organics is taking the extraordinary step of recalling all Apple &amp; Carrot Baby Food Pouches with best by date May 21, 2010.&#8221;</p>
<p align="left">&#8220;As a mother, the safety and satisfaction of our customers and their children is my highest concern,&#8221; said Plum Organics Founder Gigi Lee Chang. Due to a mixing error during production, one batch of this product was improperly blended. As a result, it did not meet our company’s standard for quality. We are taking the extra step of recalling all Apple &amp; Carrot Portable Pouches with this date to eliminate any question in the minds of consumers about the safety of our products. Plum Organics was founded on the vision of superior quality and nutritious baby food; we are committed to these values and our consumers.&#8221;</p>
<p align="left">Consumers who have purchased the Plum Organics Apple &amp; Carrot pouch-based baby food with a best by date May 21, 2010 and with the UPC # 890180001221 can return the product for a full refund at any Toys-R-Us or Babies-R-Us store.</p>
<p align="left">The recall is being undertaken with the knowledge of the U.S. Food &amp; Drug Administration.</p>
<p align="left">Consumers with any questions are asked to call 888-974-3555 between the hours of 8 am – 5 pm PST, or email <a href="mailto:info@plumorganics.com">info@plumorganics.com.</a></p>
<p align="left">Plum Organics is the leading premium organic baby food brand in the nation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What many people don&#8217;t realize is that the FDA not only approves a medication, but also tests and approves the specific way it is administered. Administering an FDA approved drug in a non-FDA approved manner can be dangerous and in the following case, fatal . . . .</p>
<p>If you or someone you know has been the victim of a mis-administered drug, contact <a href="http://www.eichenlevinson.com/">http://www.eichenlevinson.com/</a><br />

</a><a href="http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/SafetyInformation/SafetyAlertsforHumanMedicalProducts/ucm186081.htm" target="_blank">Relenza (zanamivir) Inhalation Powder</a></p>
<p>GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and FDA notified healthcare professionals of a report of the death of a patient with influenza who received Relenza (zanamivir) Inhalation Powder which was solubilized and administered by mechanical ventilation. Relenza (zanamivir) Inhalation Powder is not intended to be reconstituted in any liquid formulation and is not recommended for use in any nebulizer or mechanical ventilator.</p>
<p>GSK is aware that Relenza Inhalation Powder is being removed from its FDA-approved packaging and dissolved in various solutions for the purpose of nebulizing zanamivir for inhalation by patients with influenza who are unable to take oral medications or unable to inhale Relenza Inhalation Powder using the Diskhaler. Relenza or zanamivir for nebulization have not been approved by the FDA. The safety, effectiveness, and stability of zanamivir use by nebulization have not been established.</p>
<p>Relenza Inhalation Powder should only be used as directed in the prescribing information by using the Diskhaler device provided with the drug product. Relenza Inhalation Powder is a mixture of zanamivir active drug substance and lactose drug carrier. This formulation is not designed or intended to be administered by nebulization. There is a risk that the lactose sugar in this formulation can obstruct proper functioning of mechanical ventilator equipment.</p>
