Last month the Graco Children's Products company recalled a line of bassinets when a design flaw proved to be potentially fatal. Owners of these bassinets were urged to return them and explicitly advised not to place infants or children in them. These products were prodced by Simplicity and therefore bore that brand name.

More recently a published report revealed that some 200,000 bassinets sold were actually under the name Graco, not Simplicity. They had the same dangerous design flaw as the recalled bassinets, but owners looking at the brand labels would have no way of knowing that these bassinets were made by Simplicity.

Even more shockingly, the report revealed that federal regulators and the Graco company knew about this oversight for two weeks before it was anounced to the public. The company's website will be displaying a safety alert naming the bassinets that have this very dangerous flaw.

As of this morning, the Hot pockets has recalled the pepperoni pizza style hot pockets that were put out in the last few weeks. The recall is supposedly only affecting the products that were made on June 5 of this year.

The company has officially stated that there are currently no health problems that have occurred yet. The company is also urging people to return their hot pockets to their local store to get a refund or a replacement of the product.  The recall that they have made is of about 215,660 pounds of frozen pepperoni that was included in the hot pockets that were made. On the cartons of hot pockets, the date should say “Best Before JAN2010”. If your hot pockets are printed with anything like this, you should bring them back the store where they were bought.

The company is recalling the product because there is supposedly some sort of foreign material that is inside the pepperoni’s.

Whole Foods Market has officially began a recall over a popcorn that they have produced and sold on their shelves. Sources say that this was a voluntary recall and the company is urging consumers to bring back the popcorn for a refund or replacement.

The brand of popcorn was the Organic Everyday Value which was lightly salted. The company has stated that any package of popcorn with an expiration date of 10-28-008 or 10-29-08 should return their popcorn to the local Whole Foods Market for a replacement pack of popcorn.

If you are worried that you might have one of these bags of popcorn, you should contact your local Whole Foods Market to speak with them about what products they carry.
