Farah and Farah, P.A.
The United States Department of Agriculture issued a June 2 statement regarding S.P. Provisions, a Portland, OR company and their product recall of nearly 40,000 pounds of ground beef products. The products were recalled due to concerns of potential E. coli contamination.
The recall includes five- and ten-pound bags of ground beef as well as “chili grind” products. The USDA says the recall was prompted by microbiological sampling by the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service, and not by reports from consumers which, according to the article, were not received by the USDA.

The national Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is telling consumers to put a full line of Hydroxycut products back on the shelf in a recent addition to their online consumer safety resource site.
The FDA has established a link between these products and a range of liver conditions, including several fatalities, according to an internal Web page urging consumers to stop using Hydroxycut products. The list includes caplets and tablets for fat burning, carb control and other dietary uses. The FDA qualifies their warning with the disclaimer that there is not yet any specific links and that some of the associated conditions are relatively rare. However, the recall stands as a needed safety measure for stopping the sale of these products while officials conduct further assessments.

New Jersey lawmakers are reviewing a proposal to bulk up consumer protection for state drivers involved in “bad faith” situations, including those where a driver is hit by an uninsured party and needs to recover costs from his or own insurer.

NAMICS spokespeople claim that new laws would only serve to drive up costs for those securing New Jersey auto insurance coverage. Representatives of NAMICS cite past efforts on the part of the state to make automobile coverage affordable for citizens. They also paint the new laws against the backdrop of a worsening economy.
