Wright County Egg recalls SHELLED EGGS
The following statement was released by officials of Wright County Egg regarding the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) on-farm records review and egg testing for Salmonella.
Wright County Egg of Galt, Iowa is voluntarily recalling specific Julian dates of shell eggs produced by their farms because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis or arthritis.
Eggs affected by this recall were distributed to food wholesalers, distribution centers and foodservice companies in California, Illinois, Missouri, Colorado, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa. These companies distribute nationwide.

Questions about our recall policy?
Many consumers have contacted us regarding recalls which are posted late, or are completed.
Here are 2 examples!
http://www.totalrecallinfo.com/freerecalls.php?id=19552
http://www.totalrecallinfo.com/freerecalls.php?id=19545
The first is for apple slices, the second for cosmetic creams.
The problem is NO-ONE knows about these recalls until we announce them. They cannot be found on the FDA recall page, nor could we get any comments on how to get these recalls when they are fresh.
It seems as though a conspiracy exists to announce some recalls while some get put on the back burner, and never get to the consumer.
We have contacted the relevant agencys, with no response.
So the fact that these are older recalls, do not dismiss them. No other government/private organization has these recalls in their database, so they need extra special attention, as some of these are very dangerous.
Please feel free to comment to the FDA about the "Phantom Recalls"
This notice is for all users of our services.

Understanding the Continuous Cause of Product Recalls & Product Liability Lawsuits
We're not getting better at designing and launching reliable new products for the market place, as statistics prove, we're getting worse.

Aug. 11, 2010
In our never ending effort to boost sales and profits and be the first to hit the competitive market with new products and technologies, streamlining production costs and improving efficiencies, and the constant search for new supply sources as well as new sales markets, we continue to fail to see our own deficiencies in new product development as related to design and engineering. Most of this is due to our common lack of knowledge as to what we really need to be doing, versus the common misconception that we already know what to do.
We're not getting better at designing and launching reliable new products for the market place, as statistics prove we're getting worse. Product recalls are at record numbers, and have been growing every year for the past six years

FDA Seeks Injunction Against Colorado Manufacturer of Cultured Cell Product

FDA Seeks Injunction Against Colorado Manufacturer of Cultured Cell Product
Violations of current good manufacturing practice and labeling requirements cited
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is seeking an injunction in federal court against Regenerative Sciences LLC, of Broomfield, Colo., citing violations of current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) that cause its cultured cell product to be adulterated. The product is also misbranded due to the lack of adequate directions for use and the failure to bear the “Rx only” symbol.
The company’s cultured cell product is derived from a patient’s bone marrow or fluid surrounding the patient’s joints (synovial fluid). The cells are grown, processed, and mixed with drug products outside the body before being injected back into the patient.
Regenerative Sciences’ cultured cell product is not approved by the FDA, and no adequate and well-controlled studies have been done to demonstrate its safety or effectiveness for any indication.
“FDA recognizes the importance of the development of novel and promising new therapies,” said Karen Midthun, M.D., acting director of FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. “However, when companies like Regenerative Sciences fail to comply with FDA laws and regulations, they put the public’s health at risk.”
The complaint for the injunction was filed Aug. 6, 2010, by the Justice Department on behalf of the FDA in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, against Regenerative Sciences and three of its employees, Christopher J. Centeno, M.D., John R. Schultz, M.D., and Michelle R. Cheever. The injunction would permanently prevent the company and cited individuals from adulterating and misbranding the cultured cell product while the product, or one or more of its components, is held for sale after shipment in interstate commerce.
Regenerative Sciences has agreed to cease production of the cultured cell product while the case is pending.
The FDA warned Regenerative Sciences about its cGMP violations as recently as June 2010. The company failed to make sufficient corrections, and the conduct of the individuals cited in the complaint demonstrates refusal to comply with the law.
