It practically takes a legal background to act as an informed consumer in the American marketplace today. You make a simple purchase and then find yourself confronting - defective products, product recalls, class action suits, waivers, mandatory arbitration clauses and so on. How do you protect yourself and your legal rights? By staying informed - and we will help by providing timely updates to current issues.
No Matter How Loyal, Nothing Safe from Recall The names are familiar to children and adults alike: Pirates of the Caribbean, Winnie the Pooh, Barbie, Elmo. The brands are familiar too: Mattel, Banquet, Fischer-Price, J.C. Penny, and Dunkin Doughnuts.

Popcorn may be toxic! Pop Weaver, the nation's second-largest popcorn producer, has pulled the synthetic flavoring, diacetyl, from its microwave popcorn products because of the link between exposure to the chemical and lung disease. ConAgra, the world's largest supplier of the 3 billion bags of microwave popcorn sold each year, said Tuesday that it will eliminate the use of a controversial chemical butter flavoring linked to severe lung disease in workers from its Act II and Orville Redenbacher products. |
