The U.S. Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is recalling 21,000 inflatable Banzai in-ground pool water slides over safety hazards that led to the death of one mother and has caused severe injuries to others. The CPSC says that the slides can deflate causing the user to hit the ground underneath and become injured. The slide is also unstable and can easily topple over. 

A 29-year-old mother died in Andover, MA after fracturing her neck going down a Banzai slide which had been placed over the concrete edge of the pool. The woman hit her head at the bottom of the slide because it was partially deflated.  The CSPC is aware of two other incidents that happened in a similar manner including, a Missouri man who became quadriplegic from his injuries and a Pennsylvania woman who fractured her neck. 

Banzai slides were made in China by Manley Toys, Ltd. The defective slides have "Banzai Splash" printed in a circular blue, orange and white logo shaped like a wave on either side of the slide. Consumers can also identify the slide by barcode number 2675315734 and model number 15734; the barcode and model number are only labeled on the original packaging. 

The slides were sold at Walmart and Toys R Us stores nationwide from January 2005 through June 2009 for $250.  Consumers should immediately stop using the slide and return it to Walmart or Toys R Us for a refund.

According to Retuers, 21 mobile home manufacturers have agreed to pay $14.8 million to thousands of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita victims who claimed they were harmed by formaldehyde in the trailers. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provided trailers for homeless Gulf Coast residents to temporarily live in after the hurricanes destroyed the area. Residents of the homes claimed that they sustained respiratory illnesses and other medical conditions from the formaldehyde in the trailer homes. 

Formaldehyde is colorless, flammable gas that is used in the production of paper, resins and building materials. Exposure to formaldehyde can cause wide range of health problems from respiratory issues to cancer. 

Thousands of people may receive a payment from the class-action settlement. Potential victims should file a legal claim before August, if they have not already done so. 

If you or a loved one has become ill from a defective product, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact the product liability lawyers at Phillips Law Group to discuss your legal options. To receive a free case review, fill out the contact form on this page.

According to the Associated Press, U.S. marshals seized several lots of ultrasound gel from the company Pharmaceutical Innovations after the gel tested positive for bacterial contamination. The Food and Drug administration (FDA) said that the Other-Sonic gel tested positive for dangerous strains of bacteria. The purpose of the gel is to enhance ultrasound images. At least 16 people at one hospital were infected by the bacteria from the product.

 

Medical professionals are urged not use containers of the gel labeled: 060111, 090111 and 120111.  Physicians should identify and assess patients who have been treated with the contaminated gel.

On Thursday, Odwalla Inc. voluntarily recalled the Odwalla Chocolate Protein Monster beverage because customers with peanut allergies have experienced severe allergic reactions after consuming the product. The company is recalling the 12-ounce and 32-ounces bottles of the beverage, that have an "enjoy date" of May 23, 2012. The drink was sold at stores nationwide.  

People who have allergies or a severe sensitivity to peanuts or tree nuts could have a serious or life-threatening reaction if they consume the drink. 

According to USA Today, Odwalla and the Food and Drug Administration are investigating the cause of the allergic reactions because the beverage does not contain peanut or tree nut ingredients.
