October 14, 2011 – According to reports by the personal injury lawyer at Ehline Law Firm PC, the contact lens recall that was issued nearly two months ago is now being taken more seriously. The recall of Avaira Toric contact lenses by CooperVision Inc. is being taken more seriously, since Friday when the Federal Food and Drug Administration issued a Class I recall warning.

The Class I warning comes after a nearly two month old recall for over a half a million contact lenses.
FDA official spokeswoman Morgan Liscinski stated that the FDA intends to monitor the recall after threatening CooperVision Inc. of Fairport, N.Y. that they would issue an independent notice of concern about the Avaira Toric contact lenses. The FDA believes that CooperVision Inc did not adequately publicize the recall and potential problems from an unidentified residue that was inadvertently left on during manufacturing.

The FDA demanded CooperVision Inc. to broaden the notification of the contact lens recall of 600,000.
Contact lens wearers reported hazy vision, discomfort, severe pain and eye injuries after wearing the recalled Avaira Toric contact, requiring medical treatment.

CooperVision Inc. and the Food and Drug Administration warn contact lens wearers to stop using the recalled lenses, return the defective product and if there are any symptoms suffered seek medical attention.

From what they have gathered so far, police investigators believe the accident was caused by someone making an unsafe lane change. Unfortunately, lane changes are one of the most common ways for an accident to occur. Due to blind spots and other complicating factors, it can be fairly easy for a routine lane change to turn into a deadly accident. It is clear however, that one of the seven cars was at fault for the accident and that negligence and high speeds may have been a factor. Therefore, the victims and their families deserve compensation and maybe even their day in court.

More than 5,000 children and teens are injured each year in falls from windows, according to a new study published this month in the journal Pediatrics. The study reported that the number of children treated in emergency departments in the United States for falls from windows neared 100,000 between the years 1990 and 2008.

The study found that the problem is not limited to urban or high rise buildings, but rather many children are falling from first and second story windows. Even falls from the first story windows resulted in injuries serious enough to warrant a trip to the hospital. Not surprisingly, most children fell from windows during warm weather.

Approximately 2/3 of the reported injuries occurred among children younger than 5. Children under the age of 4 were most likely to suffer head injuries and to be hospitalized for their injuries than were older children. Fewer than 1 percent of the falls resulted in death, however, this figure is likely underestimated because not all children who die from their injuries are brought to the hospital. The study is the first nationally representative study of such injuries. Researchers studied data compiled by the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, maintained by the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Dr. Gary A. Smith, study author and director of the Center For Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio offered the following advice for parents of children younger than 5: (1) use window guards or locks; (2) do not allow any window to be open more than four inches; and (3) move furniture away from windows so children cannot climb on it. Dr. Smith recommends that parents of children older than 5 should educate children and teens of the risk of climbing out of a window or jumping from it.

September 14, 2011 (by Horatio Algren) According to reports tented fumigation homes have been marked by burglars for break-ins in Southern California Neighborhoods. According to the Torrance Police Department burglars have been taking advantage of homes and apartment buildings that are tented for fumigation, since July 1st.

The Torrance Police Department has stated that since July 1st there have been at least four burglaries in Torrance of residences that were tented for fumigation. There were nine of these same type of robberies in Gardenia and at least six in Inglewood, according to the police department. According to police the homes that were targeted used several different fumigation companies, leading police to believe no employees are involved.

In a Torrance Police Department statement they believe that the thieves have an understanding of the fumigation process and realize that when fans are placed in the housed to force the fumigation poisonous odors out the doors and windows are open. This provides easy entry for burglars and entry is safe, since the chemicals are being forced out of the residence, according to the Torrance Police Department. According to the Torrance Police Department they have no descriptions of suspects at this time and are asking anyone with information to contact the police department.

When there is a car accident, the injuries people most often think of are the more usual ones such as head and neck injuries, back injuries, or cuts and bruises. However, one of the more debilitating and surprisingly common injuries in a knee injuries car accident.

Knee injuries most commonly occur from the knee striking some portion of the car’s interior during the collision. The knee might strike the plastic portion of the car door if the car is thrown to the side, or the underside of the dashboard, steering column, or glove box. And your injury lawyer already knows that a knee can easily hit the front part of a dashboard or window, even the roof in a roll-over accident. Injuries to the knee can also come from crushing damage, such as when part of the car is crushed. These knee injuries can result in bruising, soft tissue injuries, and fractures.

Soft tissue knee injuries from car accidents occur when the knee extends past its range or is twisted. More commonly, the ligaments of the knee suffer. For example, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) are ligaments located at the front and back of the knee respectively. The medial collateral ligament (MCL) which is responsible for controlling the flexibility of the knee can also be injured. Damage to these ligaments results in lost knee stability, swelling, reduced range of motion, and inabilities or difficulties walking, and pain. Depending on the severity of the injury, rehabilitation is needed or even surgery followed by rehabilitation. All ligament injuries, if untreated, can worsen and affect the victim’s quality of life.

Another soft tissue injury to the knee is tearing of the cartilage of the knee, particularly the meniscus. Healthy cartilage plays a role in the smooth movement of the knee joint. Tearing of the meniscus leaves the knee vulnerable to friction in the knee joint, joint damage, and of course swelling, tenderness, and pain with a limited ability to walk.

All knee injuries require specialist care and much effort at healing. If you or your loved one is the victim of car accident knee injuries as the result of another’s negligence, a personal injury attorney can help facilitate your care and pursue recompense from the negligent party. Attorneys can be found in many California cities, including Soledad, Chatsworth, and Pasadena.
