Defective Product Recalls Update: Pacifiers, High Chairs, Heart Drug
According to the article by the Associated Press on Philly.com, this week there have been several recalls due to defective products in Pennsylvania and throughout the nation.
Baby Necessities pacifiers, manufactured in China and imported by OKK Trading of Los Angeles, Calif. were recalled because they failed federal safety tests. The pacifiers can separate from the base and pose a choking hazard. The recalled pacifiers were sold between August 2007 and January 2009.
About 24,000 3-in-1 high chairs, imported by Fisher-Price of East Aurora, N.Y. and manufactured in Mexico were recalled because the seat can fall backward from the frame if the release is unlatched while a child is inside. The seat back can also detach if not snapped fully into place. The company has received one report of a detached seat back that resulted in a fractured skull.
Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. recalled one lot of Propafenone HCL 225 milligram tablets, a prescribed drug used to treat cardiac arrhythmia, sold in 100 count bottles in the United States. Some of the tablets may contain higher levels of the active ingredient than specified, causing serious drug injury in Philadelphia and in any other states where the drug is used. Some patients who are particularly sensitive to small variations in dose might experience serious side effects, including irregular heartbeat or low blood pressure.
Torres Hillsdale Country Cheese LLC is recalling Asadero and Oaxaca soft Mexican-style cheeses due to possible listeria contamination. Eating food contaminated with listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a potentially fatal disease.
