Bumble Bee Foods is recalling several varieties of its popular tuna products after it was discovered that problems with the products' sealing may lead to spoilage or other contamination. 

Tri-Union Seafoods LLC also announced a recall on several of their Chicken of the Sea brand 5 oz. cans of chunk white albacore because of similar problems.

No illnesses have yet been reported, but as a spokesperson for Bumble Bee said "The health and safety of our consumers is paramount. We (are) alerting our customers...and asking them to remove it from the store shelves."

If you get food poisoning from a product, restaurant, catering, or other event in which the food preparer is obligated to prepare and present a safe product, you may be entitled to damages as a result of your illness. While food poisoning is a potentially serious illness, it is also difficult to prove because oftentimes symptoms do not appear immediately, and unless a number of individuals are made sick it is difficult to prove the originator is at fault. Timing is also critical. You should contact us immediately if you suspect you have a case in order for our office to obtain important information in order to prove fault.

MEDICAL RECALL for HEART DAMAGE TESTS

If you or a loved one underwent a heart test between June 29, 2011 and March 12, 2012 which included the use of these particular immunoassayies and lot numbers, you/they may have suffered serious health consequences as a result. Contact our office at (731) 423-1888 for information regarding how you may be entitled to compensation.

The FDA has issued a Class 1 RECALL for Roche Diagnostics biochemical tests Elecsys Troponin I and Elecsys Troponin I STAT Immunoassays (lot numbers 163176 and 163177) which were distributed between June 29, 2011 and January 13, 2012. Doctors who used these tests to determine heart damage (as an aid in the diagnosis of a heart attack) may have received a falsely low result and these incorrect results may have caused serious adverse health consequences, including death. 
 
On March 12, 2012, Roche Diagnostics Operations sent an “URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE REMOVAL” letter to all its customers (doctors, clinics, laboratories & hospitals) who received the affected lots of Elecsys Troponin I or Elecsys Troponin I STAT. The letter described the product, problem, and actions to be taken. A Class 1 FDA recall is the most serious type of recall and involve situations in which there is a reasonable probability that use of these products would have caused serious consequences.

    YES! CONTACT ME!  I (or a loved one) was given a heart test within the last year!
