You sprain your ankle. You pull a muscle. Most of us turn to rest, elevation and ice.

Using ice is difficult. It melts. So cold therapy devices were made. Much, much easier.

But in a world of risks that come out of nowhere, scores and scores of cold therapy patients have suffered serious injuries using cold devices. There have been reports of chronic pain, nerve damage, and a host of other aliments using cold therapy products.

Plaintiffs' cold therapy lawsuits argue that the manufacturers of cold therapy products focused on two things: make it cold and sell 'em.

Our lawyers are reviewing Wright Profemur hip replacement lawsuits.

The data that triggers these lawsuits in part comes from Australia. Why Australia? There is no joint registry that tracks medical devices like hip replacements in the U.S. (I'll let you be the judge of whether this fact is a benefit to hip replacement and other medical device manufacturers.)

Anyway, Wright Medical's Profemur hip replacements have an innovation that on its face is a very cool feature: a modular stem that allows the surgeons more options in tailoring the hip replacement to the patient. In theory, this technology causes less soft tissue injury during and after the hip surgery. You can easily imagine the doctor explaining to patients how fortunate they are to need a hip replacement at such an opportune time in the evolution of hip implants.

Now back to the Australian data. The Wright Profemur hip replacement has a failure rate in Australia of 11.2 percent after three years. Is this exact number to high? Too low? No one knows. But what we do know is that anything close to this is a reason for a recall. Disagree? Ask DePuy what they think.

Toro will recall of 23,000 Toro Power Clear Snowblowers and 6,200 Toro Recycler Mowers becuase of fuel leak problems. The recalled snowblowers leaks can lead to fire risks if the fuel is exposed to an ignition source.

There have been about 500 reports of leaks in these Toro snowblowers, but, thankfully, not reports of injury.

Toyota will recall approximately 51,000 2011 Toyota Tundra trucks to inspect and possibly replace the rear drive shaft.

The concern is that an estimated one out of twenty Toyota Tundra trucks may have a component - slip yoke - that can break from bad casting during the foundry process, the statement added. There has been one drive shaft slip yoke failure and Toyota believes there could be more. There have been no reports of accident on injuries as of yet.

Toyota dealers will be instructed to perform an inspection to identify a specific "production lot" number located on the rear drive shaft. The rear drive shaft may need to be replaced in some Tundras. Toyota dealers are also instructed exploit this opportunity by pushing oil changes and tire rotations as human possible. (I may have made up the last part. I kid as a Toyota owner with recall experience.)

This is the second Toyota Tundra recall in as many month. Last month, there was a Tundra recall after an error in re-calibrating the tire pressure monitoring systems.

Chinese made Lights and Sounds children's scooters were recalled because a child's finger can may get cut by getting caught in the hinge mechanism between the steering column and the platform. There have been two reports of kids who got their fingers got caught.

The recall involves Kiddieland "Lights and Sounds" three-wheeled scooters including a red Spiderman, a blue Thomas & Friends™ and a pink girl's scooter. The recalled scooters sold at JCPenny and Toys R Us from January 2009 through February 2011 for about $40.

Kiddieland is also recalling the Princess Racing Trike with the same problem.

The New York bar exam results came out about an hour ago.

There were 3,881 candidates took the New York bar in February all eager and ready to become lawyers. (The fact that there are no attorney jobs available and payments on their student loans start in 20 minutes did not damper their enthusiasm. Or maybe it did.) The pass rate was 48%. So if you passed, you are better than average. Graduates of American Bar Association approved law schools taking the bar for the first time passed at the rate of 76%.

Did your law school girlfriend pass the bar? You won't find out here. But I doubt this will deter your search.

There is a consolidation order in the hip replacement lawsuits moving toward trial in New Jersey. The DePuy cases are not, however, consolidated for trial. Like many torts the general public believes are "class action" cases, the DePuy hip replacements claims are not one class action lawsuit although, certainly, much of the discovery before trial in the cases will be consolidated.

You can find the court's order here.

The NFL players won a major victory as federal court judge ruled to end the lockout.

Nissan will recall 271,000 Pathfinder and Infiniti QX4 SUVs in the United States after concerns about a steering problem. The recall includes the 1997 to 2001 Infiniti QX4 and the 1996 to 2004 Pathfinder.

This Pathfinder recall comes after reports of problems with the steering column, which was discovered to crack after exposure to road salt that is ubiquitous in cold climate states. A hole in Pathfinder's steering column allows the corrosive sea salt and snow to build up in the column which can cause it to crack.

Cucumbers have been recalled after reports of a potential bacterial contamination. L&M Companies the recall for its whole cucumber product after the FDA informed the company that at least some of their cucumbers Salmonella.

Do you have cucumbers in your fridge subject to this recall? The recalled cucumbers have been distributed in different areas, namely: New York, Nebraska, Indiana, Texas, Illinois, Tennessee, Wyoming, and Florida (where the problem was found).

There is a recall for two carob products made by Simple Foods of Tonawanda sold at health food stores in four states have been recalled because their labels don't mention they contain milk which cause cause life-threatening consequences if you are allergic to milk. The products are "Carob Brown Rice Crunch Squares" and "Carob Mint Miniatures"

These carob products were sold in New York, New Hampshire, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Carob is a substitute for chocolate.

Toyota has issue a recall for the Toyota Highlander to replace the airbag assembly. Involved in the recall are some 2008 Highlander trucks and 2007 through 2008 Rav4s. A roll problem with the sensor is causing warning light to come on which is innocent enough. But the airbag problem may also inadvertently cause the airbag to deploy.

About 94,000 Highlanders and 214,000 Rav4s are covered by the recall. Owners of the affected vehicles will receive a recall notice in the mail next month.

A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed after a 3-year-old boy fell from a roller coaster. The child was riding on the Python Pit roller coaster at Go Bananas amusement park in Norridge, Illinois and came out of the restraints and fell below the cars. The negligence claim is one we can all easily image: the operator could have stopped the ride faster and didn't.

To be polite, let's say the quality of roller coaster operators varies. Anyone who has taken their kid to the amusement park can imagine this.

I'm always running these crazy scenarios through my head, finding only solace in the idea that I'm crazy and I have nothing to worry about. Stories like this don't sooth.

A lawsuit as already been filed after the recall of the Xoft Axxent FlexiShield Mini breast device. Axxent FlexiShield Mini is a pad that is intended to protect those areas that don't need radiation in treating breast cancer. The Axxent FlexiShield in the recall was used temporarily inside incisions when women were given radiation after a lumpectomy for breast cancer.

It is alleged that the pads left tungsten inside patients, which makes screening for cancer more difficult. At least one lawsuit has already been filed in Orange County, California.

Smith & Nephew Inc. will recall more Triad Group products because of a bacterial infection. This new recall is for (1) wipes used to protect the skin before medical tapes and films are applied, and (2) adhesive removers that can clean residues from the skin, Included in the recall are UNI-SOLVE Adhesive Remover Wipes, SKIN-PREP Protective Wipes, REMOVE Universal Adhesive Remover Wipes, UNI-SOLVE Adhesive Remover Wipes, PERI-PREP Protective Wipes and NO-STING SKIN-PREP Protective Wipes. Smith & Nephew lays out the recalled lots here.

The FDA has received 201 reports of problems with Triad alcohol wipes that may have led to 7 deaths (one a tragic case of a 2 year-old that has been confirmed).

You can read more about the Triad recall here.

Speaking of websites keeping news of a recall on the DL, there is a recall of 5,550 Rogue Fitness Barbell Brackets. For more information, do not go to their website. You won't see anything on the recall.

Chesapeake Bay Candle and Modern Light has issued a recall for 7 million candles that may pose a fire risk. That's right, the intentional fire you start might cause a real fire. Get your mind around that one. (My insurance law students must: there is a big distinction between hostile and friendly fires. See Engle v. Redwood County Famers Mutual Insurance Company).

The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the plastic cup the candle sits in can melt or ignite, causing the controlled fire to spread. The candles subject to the recall were sold at Home Goods, Target, Wegmans, Marshall's and other stores nationwide between July 2009 and February 2011.

If you have any questions you can contact the company which has a little piece of its website dedicated to the recall, which will allow you do download a Microsoft Word document with information on the recall. I know I'm a skeptic but is the Word document immune from the search engines? I'm an Oliver North conspiracy theorist. (Note: they have a blog that does not even bother to mention the recall. But, hey, Chesapeake Bay Candle is tight with the Susan G. Komen foundation. I'll find solace in that as my house is burning down.)

A New Mexico jury has ordered three doctors to pay a woman $9 million in a medical malpractice lawsuit for failing to diagnose her heart attack in November 2006. Particularly compelling: the woman was 24 years-old. She presented with classic symptoms so the doctors gave less attention to her than they should have.

A $9 million verdict is the headline. The plaintiff will recovery at most $1.8 million. New Mexico has a medical malpractice cap of $600,000 per doctor. I'm not aware of any other states that have a "per doctor" malpractice cap.

The FDA is receiving more reports about a rare white blood cell cancer (known as Hepatosplenic T-Cell Lymphoma or HSTCL). Most of the reports of this cancer have been found in adolescents and young adults being treated for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis with medicines known as tumor necrosis factors (TNF) blockers, as well as with azathioprine, and/or mercaptopurine. TNF blockers include Remicade (infliximab), Enbrel (etancercept), Humira (adalimumab), Cimzia (certolizumab pegol) and Simponi (golimumab).

The FDA has now received 43 reports of patients with this white blood cell cancer from people taking bowel drugs, including Remicade.

Certainly, the FDA is not calling for a recall of these drugs. What it is saying is: "everyone should keep their heads up." You can read exactly what the FDA is saying here.

Steve Gursten writes today about Michigan's new law for teenage drivers. Michigan is following the national trend to limit the hours teens drive to keep them off the roads at times they typically cause accidents and by limiting the number of people teens can drive (also a risk factor for fatal car accidents for teens).

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder will sign a new bill allowing doctors to say "I'm sorry" with it being used as evidence in a medical malpractice case. Michigan joins 35 other states that have different version of this law.

The "I'm sorry" law sounds good a first glance. But look at it closer.

Accordingly to the Coalition Against Bayer Dangers, several victims of the contraceptive pills Yaz and Yasmin are expected to speak in the Bayer shareholder meeting in Germany on April 30. About 4,000 stockholders and the Bayer board will participate. You can expect that they will call for a Yaz recall.

New uninsured/uninsured opinion from the Superior Court of Pennsylvania. No obligation to offer new UM/UIM limits when you change your bodily injury coverage. UM carrier in this case in Nationwide.

The Rhode Island Department of Health is digging into a salmonella mess tied to zeppole pastries made by bakery. This is a mess that is taking a real human toll: 78 reported illnesses, 29 hospitalizations, and 2 deaths. Samonella is a awful killer that I keep saying no one talks much about.

The FDA warned consumers about the generic acid reflux drug Lansoprazole made by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries when the drug is administered by oral syringe or feeding tube. The FDA says there have been reports of clogging problems requiring, in some instances, medical, and in some cases patients have had to get emergency help.

In Pennsylvania, the answer would appear that an insurance company can cancel your car insurance coverage even if the accident(s) were not your fault. In State Farm v. Insurance Department, the majority opinion cited the Pennsylvania Act of June 17, 1998, P.L. 464, No. 68 § 3 (Act 68):

Act 68 permits an insurance company to non-renew your policy for a variety of reasons, including two or more accidents under the policy during the past three years, if total damage payments exceed $1350, regardless of who was at fault in the accidents.

There is also a strong dissent in this case that is worth reading.

Fentanyl patches: Generic drugmaker Actavis issued a recall for 200,000 units of its Fentanyl Transdermal System 25mcg/h (called Fentanyl patches) because they exceeded dissolution specifications in stability testing.

There are a lot of lawsuits involving Fentanyl patches for other reasons but there is nothing to indicate this recall is a big deal.

Wegmans supermarkets will recall RAW Organic Chocolatey Chocolate Chip bars. Wegmans has removed all of these health bars due to a risk of cross contamination of the product ingredients with peanut proteins processed in the same facility. People (most at risk: kids) with sensitivities or allergies to peanuts risk a severe allergic reaction if they accidentally get peanut butter from a bar they thought was peanut free.

When I was a kid, I had never heard of a nut allergy. It is a big thing now with schools dedicating a lot of resources to keep allergic kids safe.

A recall has been issued for the Axxent FlexiShield Mini breast device.

Axxent FlexiShield Mini is a pad that is supposed to protect areas that don't need radiation in treating breast cancer. The FlexiShield in the recall was used temporarily inside breast incisions when women were given radiation after a lumpectomy for cancer.

The problem is these pads left behind tungsten inside breast tissue and chest muscles. Right now, 29 women have reported tungsten left in their body (actually, their doctors probably reported that, obviously).

Is tungsten itself dangerous? No one knows. But, either way, tungsten is a problem because it resembles or hides cancer on mammograms. For high risk breast cancer patients, obviously this is not good.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration finally beat down Ford. Ford will expand the F-150 recall to 1.2 million.

I think Ford thinks the whole thing is ridiculous. Maybe it is. I have no idea. But Ford caved in just like their stock price has in 2011. (Yes, I lost money. Yes, I am bitter.)

This is my original post on the F-150 airbag recall. This is the history of the Ford F-150's recalls.

A Topamax recall? When I saw that headline, I assumed it was related to the Topamax birth defects concerns that I wrote about here, here and here.

Alas, no. This is another J&J recall for bad odor which, while annoying to consumers, is probably ultimately harmless. Johnson & Johnson's Topamax recall is for 57,000 bottles of the anti-epilepsy drug as a result of four reports of bad odor. Moreover, J&J says it thinks only about 6,000 bottles of Topamax that may have a bad odor are still on the market. Although, at this point, If J&J says 6,000, we should all just assume that means 12,000.

A recall has been issued for the Penumbra Coil 400, according to the website About Lawsuits

The Penumbra Coil 400, manufactured by the California based Penumbra, is a small platinum coil that is surgically implanted into a brain aneurysm, typically large brain aneurysms. The problem with the Penumbra Coil 400 that led to the recall is that its coil system tool for implanting the coil is defective.

There will not be a lot of these cases. Only 267 lots were implicated. But, obviously, we are talking about treatments for large brain aneurysms. If a wire slips out of place and floats about in the brain, the FDA says this can lead to blood clots and stroke.

Obviously, this recall just came out and we are not sure whether there will be meritorious lawsuits that will come of injuries from this recalled medical device. But if you have questions about what you think may be a potential claim, you can call 800-553-8062 and I will be glad to discuss it with you. Or, you can get an on-line consultation here. You can also get more information from the FDA here.

Our lawyers are looking at potential knee replacement lawsuits involving the Zimmer NexGen CR-Flex knee implant. Plaintiffs' attorneys in these cases argue that this Zimmer product never should have been on the market. (Yesterday's version of this post suggested there has been a recall of this product. There has not. I regret the error.)

There have been a lot of questions about hip and knee replacements in recent years. DePuy, Stryker, and Zimmer have had - to put it mildly - concerns raised about their products. These companies would argue that the problems are mostly with patients who are having bad outcomes and blaming the insurance companies.

Here we go again, another choking hazard recall. Pampers Natural Stages Infant Ortho and Bulb Pacifiers have been recalled due to a choking hazard. Consumers are being told to take the recalled pacifiers away from infants and contact Key Baby for instructions on returning the product. You can get a full refund or $10 coupon. By all means, take the coupon.

Go to the Key Baby website to find information on the recall. Of course, it is hard to find, you have to get past all of the name dropping (Dr. Andrew Weil) but buried at the bottom of the page is the information that "Hey, we made a pacifier that may have put your child at risk." It is really buried - color is light and just blends into the page. Way to sound the alarm, Key Baby.

Hey, also, good move creating an entirely different website for the recall. Why besmirch the good Key Baby name? Hey, did you know that Dr. Andrew Weil is a partner with Key Baby? The green tea guy! Really! It is true!

Hey, Key Baby PR guys, real tactical genius not even having a link back to the Key Baby website on your recall site. Another good way to stay besmirch free.

The Pennsylvania legislature is supposedly voting on changing joint and several liability law in Pennsylvania. Everyone has good names for their arguments. Republicans call it the "Fair Share Act;" Democrats are going by the "Wrongdoers Protection Act." All would make good trial lawyers, right? Great framing.

Here is what I can't figure out. Pennsylvania is a big state, right? So I'm trying to get updates on the vote on Google News. Can't find an update. So I turn to Twitter because at this point I'd be interested in even unreliable information. I can't find anything. I feel like it is 2006 or something.

If you know what is going on with Pennsylvania tort reform today, leave a comment.

POSTSCRIPT: See the comment below and, of course, I found this on Facebook. So it goes to the Pennsylvania Senate.

Chevrolet has announced a recall of 2,100 Chevy Cruzes because of a little problem, ah, using the steering wheel.

When you try to turn the Chevy Cruze, the steering wheel can actually break of the steering column. Seriously, can you imagine? Chevrolet says that it has traced the problem to an assembly line problem. Fair enough. But how about a little Q&A?

GM says they think this is a one time thing with the Chevy Cruise and, hopefully, they are right.

The FDA has issued a warning for benzocaine products over concerns that it may cause methemoglobinemia, a dangerous blood disorder in which abnormal amounts of hemoglobin build up in the patient's blood.

For clarity, this is a warning. The FDA will continue to evaluate benzocaine products. The take home message is don't use benzociane - spray, gel or liquid, whatever - on children under two years old, unless it is under the advice and supervision of a healthcare professional (for my money, I would narrow that to doctor). The FDA is also saying benzocaine should be kept away from children to avoid accidental usage. In addition, consumers have been urged to store products out of the reach of children.

Benzocaine gels and liquids are sold over-the-counter under different brand names such as Orabase, Anbesol, Hurricaine, Orajel, and Baby Orajel. Benzocaine is also available under a lot of store brands. Beyond that, you can find Benzocaine in other forms, such as lozenges and spray solutions.

Have you had a problem? Share your experience with benzocaine by leaving a comment below.

This Mercedes-Benz recall is far more reaching than the last post. Mercedes-Benz has issued a recall for 137,000 M-class SUVs. The problem is serious: the cruise control on these Mercedes-Benz SUVs does not immediately turn off when drivers tap the brake pedal which is what we have grown to expect from cruise control over the past 20 years.

Mercedes-Benz says the vehicles in the recall may require an excessive amount of brake force before the cruise control will shut off. Sure, you can still turn off the cruise control manually. But we are all so programmed that you turn off the cruise control by hitting the break. In the moment, at 55 mph, we panic.

The vehicles involved are model year 2000 through 2002 Mercedes-Benz M-class SUVs and 2000 through 2004 M-class AMG SUVs. CNN reports that the recall starts in September. I'm hoping that is a misprint. M-class owners can call Mercedes-Benz customer service at 1-800-367-6372.

Mercedes-Benz has issued a recall for many of their 2011 Mercedes E-Class sedans and wagons. The problem? "Insufficient adhesive" on the vibration damper in the engine compartment.

What does that mean? I'm not entirely sure. So take it away car people:

In other words, the vibration damper that is intended to absorb the torsional vibration coming from the engine was not secured with the proper amount of adhesive, and as a result, the vibration damper and its inner mass damper ring can unintentionally separate.

Who is at risk? People who are working on the Mercedes engine because someone working on Benz's engine could become injured due to stored energy in the mass damper ring. If the energy is released, you have a lot of power coming at you.

Putting this in perspective, this is only a problem with 41 2011 Mercedes E-Class sedans and wagons made between July 8, 2010, and July 12, 2010.

Summer Infant Slim and Secure Video Monitors have announced a recall of rechargeable batteries sold with some of their baby monitors. The baby monitor's batteries can "overheat and rupture" causing burns. The monitors in the recall were sold at Babies R Us from September 2009 through May 2010.

I have three baby monitors. Literally, this morning one of our baby monitors had a dead battery (which drives me nuts). Count your blessings, I guess.

You can get more information on these baby monitor battery recalls here.

About Lawsuits reports that H&P Industries was shut down by the FDA on Monday, apparently pretty dramatically as U.S. Marshals descended on the facility with orders to seize H&P Industries products.

H&P has issued a recall for literally tens of millions of alcohol prep pads and wipes sold under the Triad Group. These alcohol prep pads were marketed under the names Cardinal Health, Medical Specialties, VHA, Triad, Triad Plus, North Safety and Total Resources. It is probably hindsight analysis but, in retrospect, it is a little creepy having all of these different brands. Why do you need so many names?

Anyway, H&P Industries/Triad Group did a recall of povidine iodine prep pads used to prevent infections in cuts, scrapes and burns and in preparation for surgery. Instead of killing all bacteria and protecting us, these alcohol prep wipes did the opposite: they were contaminated with a dangerous bacteria that can cause life threatening infections, including meningitis (in infants) pneumonia in patients on ventilators and necrotizing fasciitis.

A lot of these recalls are a 1 in a million kind of problem. Everything gets recalled because you have to find the needle in the haystack. That does not appear to be the case here. A Colorado hospital said two-thirds of the Triad-made alcohol prep pads it tested were contaminated with bacteria. So while there is a lot of information still to be had, it appears these alcohol prep pads are a complete mess.

There is a recall for the musical toy truck Troy the Activity Infantino because the truck poses a potential choking hazard. The recall was precipitated by concerns that plastic tubing can detach from the toy, releasing small sliding shapes that kids make kids choke if they put the piece in their mouth. There have been two choking cases but no injuries so far.

The underside of the truck has Infantino's contact information. The recalled trucks have the model numbers 153-210, 206-110, or 506-110C. But that is cutting it thinner than I think you need. I would throw out any Troy the Activity truck you have as opposed to doing a model number search.

Is there a checklist somewhere we we check off "Nothing on this toy is going to fall over and choke a kid"? Because I think this would be a good addition. Really.

Jennie-O Turkey has issued a recall of raw turkey burgers after reports that they may be contaminated with salmonella.

The turkey burgers subject to this recall are “all natural turkey burgers with seasonings, lean white meat.” Each box contains 12 one-third pound individually wrapped burgers, with a use-by date of December 23, 2011. These recalled turkey burgers were sold at Sam’s Club stores. At least 12 people have tested positive for salmonella.

There have been a lot of lawsuits involving hip replacements: Zimmer, Stryker and DePuy have all been in the scopes of plaintiffs' lawyers. But a bigger problem might be looming: metal on metal hip implants. In the last few years, metal on metal hip implants have been used in approximately one-third of the replacements performed annually in this country. What is the problem with metal on metal hip implants?

Doctors clearly don't fully understand the problem yet. But studies are leading some doctors to conclude that the problem manufacturers may have underestimated is the degree to which metal on metal causes the release of microscopic ions of chromium and cobalt.

The body fights back against these metals causing a reaction called metallosis that compromises the immune system. Inflammatory reactions to the metal can cause groin pain, fatigue, death of tissue in the hip joint, loss of surrounding bone and muscle and.... who knows what else? There is also speculation it may cause heart and kidney problems as well. Metal on metal hip implants are still relatively new so we don't really know what the long term consequences may be.

The FDA is sitting back, saying that at "the current time", there is no evidence to support the need for checking metal ion levels for patients without symptoms. If you have a metal on metal hip implant, "at the current time" does not leave you feeling warm and fuzzy.

Who manufacturers/manufactured these metal on metal hip implants in the United States? Besides the infamous recalled DePuy ASR - Wright Medical, Zimmer Centerpulse (Metasul), and Biomet (M2a and M2a Magnum), have sold metal on metal hip replacement implants here.

Do you have a potential metal on metal hip replacement lawsuit? I don't know. Every case is different. But we would be glad to talk to you about it and you can learn what you are dealing with regarding your prospects of a perspective lawsuit. Call 800-553-8082 or get a free online hip implant consultation.

Arko Foods has issued a recall of Angelina Brand Smoked Roundscad, 8oz packs, because it has the potential a dangerous bacteria. The FDA's message: don't eat it even it if looks and smells great. Angelina Brand Smoked Roundscad was sold in Maryland, California, Nevada, Arizona, Washington, New York, Texas, and Florida through retail stores, supermarkets, and wholesale distributors.

If you have Angelina Brand Smoked Roundscad, take it back and get a refund. You can call Arko at (323) 257-1888.
