Popular Stuffed Toys Recalled Over Laceration Concerns

When parents buy their children toys, they do so with the mindset that they’re safe to play with. Certainly, they don’t think that their child’s new toy would be hazardous or harmful to play with. Unfortunately, one popular toy has been declared dangerous and is now being recalled. TOMY’s Munching Max Chipmunk toys are being recalled because, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, parts inside the toys can “break and puncture the fabric,” posing a laceration hazard. So far only one child has been injured because of the issue.





Salmonella Outbreak Spreads, Prompting Recall of Cavi Papayas

It turns out Grande Produce isn’t the only produce distributor having problems with their papayas. Earlier this week Agroson’s LLC, a New York produce distributor, issued a recall for “Cavi brand maradol papayas because they were grown on a farm in Mexico that produced other brands of papaya that are linked to a deadly Salmonella outbreak in the U.S. that has sickened more than 100 people.” According to the recall, the potentially contaminated produce was shipped to stores and wholesalers throughout Connecticut, New York, and New Jersey.
