Updated 6.21.10
UPDATE June, 21, 2010– On June 17, 2010, ConAgra Foods announced a precautionary recall of Marie Callender’s Cheesy Chicken & Rice single-serve frozen entrées. This action was taken to ensure consumer safety while the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) investigated a possible association between the product and eight people in the US who said they had eaten this specific product and had been diagnosed with salmonellosis linked to Salmonella Chester. Today, the CDC confirmed that the Minnesota Department of Health reported that its initial testing found this particular strain of Salmonella in a Marie Callender’s Cheesy Chicken & Rice entrée. As originally stated in the company’s recall, consumers should discard the product and may return the packaging to their retailer for a refund. Consumers with questions should call ConAgra Foods at 1-866-484-9610. As a reminder, this recall does not impact any item from Marie Callender’s restaurants.

Date Published: Friday, May 28th, 2010
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is reporting three separate recalls of children’s clothing due to strangulation and entanglement hazards. In all three cases, the garments have a drawstring through some portion of the clothing, which can pose a strangulation hazard to children.
Fourteen years ago, the CPSC issued guidelines to help prevent children from strangling or becoming entangled on the neck and waist by drawstrings in upper garments, such as jackets and sweatshirts. In 1997, industry adopted a voluntary standard for drawstrings that incorporated these guidelines. In May 2006, the CPSC’s Office of Compliance issued an announcement that such outerwear with drawstrings at the hood or neck would be regarded as both defective and a substantial risk of injury to young children. Unfortunately, the CPSC guidelines are routinely ignored by the clothing industry, and that attitude has had deadly consequences for some children. From January 1985 through January 1999, the CPSC received reports of 22 deaths and 48 non-fatal entanglement incidents involving drawstrings on children’s clothing.
In all three cases, the CPSC is advising consumers to immediately remove the drawstrings from the garment to eliminate the hazard or return the garment to the place of purchase for a refund or credit.
