Ohio-based King Nut acknowledged in a statement that salmonella had been found in an open 5-pound tub of King Nut peanut butter.

“We are very sorry this happened,” Martin Kanan, president of King Nut Companies, said in the statement. “We are taking immediate and voluntary action because the health and safety of those who use our products is always our highest priority.”

Two New Toys Being Recalled


Magtastik and Magnetix .Jr, one of two Chinese made toys now being recalled.

Last year there was an astonishing number of toys and other products manufactured in China. Well they haven’t abated yet. This weekend is Easter so parents may want to remain alert.

MEGA toys is recalling as many as 1.1 million Magtastik and Magnetix Jr. Preschool toy kits. The toys are manufactured in China.

The toys contain magnets within the colorful animal figures, buildings, and vehicles that can be removed from the larger toy and swallowed by small children. The magnets can pose a chocking hazard and cause blockages in the intestines if ingested, especially if multiple magnets are ingested and attract together.

Thus far their have been as many as 19 incidents of magnets breaking loose from the toys, while one other faces injury after a magnet became stuck in his nasal cavity. He is currently hospitalized.

The products in question are commonly sold at large department stores such as Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Toys R Us, and other retailers.

Customers who have purchased the Magtastik and Magenetix Jr toys can be returned to MEGA toys . Those customers can then in return receive a replacement toy free of cost.

There is also a second toy being recalled. With Easter celebrations just a day away some 13,000 Camouflage eggs and spinning Egg top toys are being recalled.

The Chinese manufactured toys sold at Hobby Lobby Stores between January and March of this year are said to be coated with excessive levels of lead paint that exceed safe federally permitted limits. No injuries or deaths have yet been documented or reported.

Customers who have these toys are urged to contact Hobby Lobby and then receive a $3.00 exchange card that can be used to purchase an alternate Hobby Lobby product.

Four New Toys made in China are recalled


Just one of four toys from Solider Bear Toys that were recalled on Wendsday.

Again several new toys are being recalled that were made in China because of high levels of lead in paint used,which exceeds the limits that are deemed safe and legal. The four toys in question are made by Solider Bear Toys.

The toys in question include a magnetic time teacher, a wooden pull along wagon with wooden blocks, a wooden riding horse,and a sound and light milltary vehicle .

The toys are sold by the Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES), based in Dallas Texas.

All those who may own some or one of the products in question are urged to return these toys to the nearest AAFES location.

Again, click here for more details

MY TAKE: Another “benefit” of unfettered free trade with nations who use cheap labor and cut corners to save money at the price of safety.
