Q&A: hey can someone help me that really knows the answers to the big toy recall?

Question by joseph b: hey can someone help me that really knows the answers to the big toy recall?

Hello, I have a diego talking rescue 4×4 that I was going to wrap up for x-mas and my hubby is flipping out because of the recall. This product was on the recall but the time frame does not match. The recall says between april-aug. I explained to him that I bought mine in either Jan or Feb at the latest but he is worried and doesn’t want to chance it. Would some one please tell him that they give those dates for a reason. I mean I’ve never had to return a product on a recall before so I am not familiar with it but I thought that the dates they give are very specific and that those are the only ones to worry about. If they were unsure I’m sure they would have included a bigger time frame. Can anyone help me out and maybe make me feel a little better about this whole thing. Of course I wouldn’t jeopardize my child’s health over a toy and thats how my hubby is making me feel. Can anyone give me some reassurance or something so I can reassure him. If I’m wrong, someone please let me know.

Please help me answer the following question ASAP?

Question by rashrash27: Please help me answer the following question ASAP?

A well-known pharmaceutical company, Robins & Robins, is working through a public scandal. Three popular medications which they sell over-the-counter have been determined to be tainted with small particles of plastic explosive. It has not yet been determined where the plastic explosives came from, but over million in inventory is impacted. The inventory is located throughout the Western United States, and it is possible that it has also made its way into parts of Canada. A recall occurs but it is mostly unsuccessful.

Last fall, the FDA had promulgated an administrative rule which stated that all pharmaceutical companies which sold over-the-counter medications must incorporate a special tracking bar code (i.e. UPC bars) on all packaging, to ensure that recalls could be done with very little trouble. This bar code would have cost about $.35 (cents) per package, which would have cost the company nearly million on this batch of inventory.

Robins & Robins lobbied hard against this rule, and managed to get it stopped in the public comments period. They utilized multiple arguments, including the cost (which would be passed on to consumers). They also raised “privacy” concerns, which they discussed simply to get public interest groups upset. (One of the drugs impacted is used for assisting with alcoholism treatment – specifically for withdrawal symptoms and many alcoholics were afraid their use of the drug could be tracked back to them.) Robins & Robins argued that people would be concerned about purchasing the medication with a tracking mechanism included with the packaging and managed to get enough public interest groups against the rule. The FDA decided not to impose the rule.

The FDA decides to require all pharmaceutical companies to immediately implement the tracking bars (UPC) as a result of the disaster with Robins & Robins. Robins & Robins decides not to challenge this and begins the process of adding them to all of their products. However, McFadden, Inc., a New York pharmaceutical realizes that this new requirement is going to bankrupt them immediately. McFadden did not participate in the original public comment period. However, this rule
is different from the rule which went through that public comment period, in that it specifically names 4 companies as being impacted, Robins & Robins, McFadden, Inc., Bayer, and Johnson & Johnson. On what bases can McFadden challenge this requirement imposed by the FDA? Provide at least two bases under the Administrative Procedures Act. Would the injuries from the Robins & Robins situation impact the chances that this challenge would be successful? Why or why not?
Question 2, please help me ASAP

It is discovered that Robins & Robins knew about the tainted medication two months earlier than they announced the recall. They hid it, and in fact, sent out contract buyers to try to buy up all of the medication off the shelves. Their “fake” recall failed. Using the Laura Nash method of analyzing ethical dilemmas, analyze the ethical dilemma faced by the CEO of Robins & Robins for the fact that they saved 35 cents/package and are now in the middle of a major, life threatening recall. Analyze their “fake” recall as well. Show all of the steps of the model and give a recommendation to the CEO of what to do now that the deaths are escalating. What is the “right” thing for the CEO to do in this case? Did the model help you come to this conclusion or did you use some other method? Explain.

Best answer:

Answer by STEPHEN
McFadden can challenge the requirement by asserting the cost element and that its implementation would bankrupt them and make the same arguments that Robins & Robins made. Additionally, they could argue that the FDA is estopped by its prior decision to not impose the Rule; this, of course, could be countered by the argument that McFadden waived all arguments against imposition of the Rule by its failure to participate in the earlier public comment period. McFadden could also argue that the FDA is over-reacting to a calamity which could not be foreseen and is so rare an occurrence that it is highly unlikely to happen again, to which the FDA would contend that its statutory authority compels that it impose the Rule. The injuries of the Robins & Robins matter would be the only significant impact which would cause the imposition of the Rule. The two bases: (1) It would not be an abuse of discretion to impose the Rule. (2). The FDA may lawfully take administrative notice of the Robins & Robins calamity.

Q&A: Science Fair… Help!!! Ill give 20 points to the best answer?

Question by Bai:): Science Fair… Help!!! Ill give 20 points to the best answer?

I need a Science fair project for an 8th grader. It doesn’t have to be hard, but it has to be not like something a 4th grader would do. Here are the guidelines:
No animals all… sorry!!!
Science Project Topics to Avoid Why
Any topic that boils down to a simple preference or taste comparison. For example, “Which tastes better: Coke or Pepsi?” Such experiments don’t involve the kinds of numerical measurements we want in a science fair project. They are more of a survey than an experiment.
Most consumer product testing of the “Which is best?” type. This includes comparisons of popcorn, bubblegum, make-up, detergents, cleaning products, and paper towels. These projects only have scientific validity if the Investigator fully understands the science behind why the product works and applies that understanding to the experiment. While many consumer products are easy to use, the science behind them is often at the level of a graduate student in college.
Any topic that requires people to recall things they did in the past. The data tends to be unreliable.
Effect of colored light on plants Several people do this project at almost every science fair. You can be more creative!
Effect of music or talking on plants Difficult to measure.
Effect of running, music, video games, or almost anything on blood pressure The result is either obvious (the heart beats faster when you run) or difficult to measure with proper controls (the effect of music).
Effect of color on memory, emotion, mood, taste, strength, etc. Highly subjective and difficult to measure.
Any topic that requires measurements that will be extremely difficult to make or repeat, given your equipment. Without measurement, you can’t do science.
Graphology or handwriting analysis Questionable scientific validity.
Astrology or ESP No scientific validity.
Any topic that requires dangerous, hard to find, expensive, or illegal materials. Violates the rules of virtually any science fair.
Any topic that requires drugging, pain, or injury to a live vertebrate animal. Violates the rules of virtually any science fair.
Any topic that creates unacceptable risk (physical or psychological) to a human subject. Violates the rules of virtually any science fair.
Any topic that involves collection of tissue samples from living humans or vertebrate animals. Violates the rules of virtually any science fair.

So, as you can see it is hard to find a good project.

Also, NO planes, or volcanoes.

The idea does not have to be original…
Also, please don’t give me a list of websites.. Give me ideas… and please explain them in some detail

Question by : Help! How to deal with this catholicism class “Intelligent Design” nonsense?

So our last catholicism class was about the watchmaker argument. Well it’s really a stupid theory and simply doesn’t make any sense. The theory is that –The complex inner workings of a watch necessitate an intelligent designer and that simply shaking(evolution) is not enough. She even told us to try fixing an old watch by shaking it, according to her if evolution is correct it should work. The problem is we need to prepare a report on this, i know this theory is nonsense, so what should i do?
