The companies who manufacture and distribute the foods we consume each day have a responsibility to ensure the safety of the products they release to market. Any failure to do so could result in numerous individuals becoming seriously ill and, in the past, has led to legal action.
The Ohio Product Liability Lawyers with the law firm of Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy explain the same standards apply to online vendors who sell breast milk for infants; however, a recent study shows these products may be contaminated and could be putting many children’s safety at risk.
An article from WFMJ News told how researchers purchased and examined a total of 101 breast milk samples via the Internet. The team concluded roughly three-quarters of the samples were contaminated with dangerously high levels of the bacteria, Salmonella. Experts say the organism can cause those who are infected to suffer severe cramping, diarrhea, and vomiting. These symptoms can lead to dehydration and eventually, death.
Infants lack a strong immune system and are especially susceptible to these dangers.
That is why the U.S Food and Drug Administration has gone on the record as advising against purchasing breast milk for infants via the Internet.
The law firm’s team of Ohio Personal Injury Lawyers is aware of how risky contaminated food products can be and urges anyone who has been harmed by such a product to discuss their legal rights with an attorney.

Proving medical malpractice is notoriously difficult. That’s because every patient is different, and bad outcomes can happen even when doctors, surgeons, and other healthcare providers are thorough, attentive, and follow all protocols and guidelines when treating patients. In addition to being difficult to prove, doctors, surgeons, and other providers rarely admit to malpractice when it […]

When people are hospitalized, they and their loved ones expect for them to get better. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen, and sometimes, their health declines because they contract diseases that are primarily found in hospitals.

One of the most common traffic violations committed by any driver is driving with a burned-out headlight, taillight, brake light, or turn signal. While these traffic violations can be dangerous for drivers of pickup trucks, sedans, and SUVs, they can be extremely hazardous for drivers of semi-trucks—and the people driving near them. Burned out semi-truck […]
