Should there/are there laws about selling recalled food?
Question by Beka E: Should there/are there laws about selling recalled food?
With the recent recall of peanut related products, I am left wondering what would happen to a business that continued to sell the contaminated product? Do you think there should be laws with potential fines or jail time for shop owners who continue to sell these products?
In example: there is a small corner store in my town just outside Baltimore City. The shop owner is strange and I doubt he is aware that there are recalls on peanut related products and if he does know about the recall I highly doubt that he would throw away any of his merch. I also don’t think he gets his stuff from a distributor, more like a Costco shopper. I still see peanut butter crackers, sports bars etc… on his shelves. if this makes someone sick they could die. Sol what I want to know is, Is it the consumers responsibility or should the retailer be held responsible for selling recalled product?

Question by fluffystuff: DS Nintendo Imagine Fashion Design: How do I get pass the winter clothing level???
This is going to sound stupid because I have a feeling this level is pretty easy! I just can’t seem to figure out how to dress the model correctly. Beauty and everything else is fine, but for some reason even though I put on a jack pants and a cap it’s still badly executed… can anyone help???

A somewhat stupid question about Henna kits?
Question by modelesque: A somewhat stupid question about Henna kits?
Last night I posted a question asking if you can get custom henna designs at a henna place. The kiosk that I know that does henna doesn’t do custom pieces (or so I think, they had pictures of all the designs you can get up). If I were to buy a kit, would I be able to do a custom henna on myself or is it specifically made to use the stencils?
I’nm pretty artistic, if that helps.

Looping logic… one that never performs because it gets into a loop.
Mislabeling of terms.
Incorrect connections. Things not connecting or connecting when they should not.
