Q&A: When will the US learn that Chinese manufacturers don’t care?
Question by lb06029: When will the US learn that Chinese manufacturers don’t care?
When will the US learn that Chinese manufactorers don’t care about us? This Courious George recall is just another example of what they think of the US consumer. Use cheap materials, who cares? As long as the toy is cheap, their happy… As for Mattell, the only way they will learn is to bring charges against those in charge of product safety & standards for endangering lives. I bet it would only need to happen once…

Kids’ storage racks recalled after death?

Kids’ storage racks recalled after death Fri Nov 16, 9:31 AM ET
Some 36,000 Chinese-made children’s storage racks sold at Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N) in the United States were recalled after a baby was suffocated by an overturned rack, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said on Friday.
The wooden storage rack, manufactured for Irving, Texas-based Jetmax International Ltd, has three levels and nine removable canvas totes, the safety agency said. One model has red, blue, yellow and green canvas totes, and another model has pastel-colored canvas totes.
An 8-month-old boy suffocated after he pulled on a storage rack and it fell over on him, with the top rail landing on his neck, the government agency said.
Wal-Mart sold the storage rack organizers under the brand “Home Trend Kids” from August 2004 through July 2005 for about , the agency said. The product was also sold at Ollie’s stores from July 2006 through June 2007.
Consumers should immediately stop children from using the recalled storage racks and contact Jetmax International to receive a free repair kit that adds stability to the base of the rack, the agency said.
The CPSC posted photographs of the recalled item on its Web site at http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml08/08085.html

Q&A: A manufacturer of plastic bags is ready to make a recall.?
Question by : A manufacturer of plastic bags is ready to make a recall.?
A manufacturer of plastic bags is ready to issue a recall of their product if more than 3.8% of them are defective. They examine 478 of their bags, and of those 478 bags, 12 of them are found to be defective.
What is the test statistic z-value of this study?
Please please please help me i have no idea how to do this!
Best answer:
Answer by Aaron
Well, your sample proportion, p-hat, is 12/478 = .0251.
The z-score for this would be calculated with z = (p-hat – hypothesized p)/(stdev)
The stdev for the sampling distribution of sample proportions is ?((p-hat*q-hat)/n), where q-hat = 1 – p-hat.
So, z = (.0251 – .038)/?((.0251)(.9749)/478) = -1.80

I didn’t catch all of the 11 O’clock news tonight, but I had a friend say that Coke is going to have a major recall in the next couple days asking for people to either return products to their point of purchase or to dump it down the sink. Any truth to this?

now there is a fda recall on dog treats, pig ears?
Question by darlin12009: now there is a fda recall on dog treats, pig ears?
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — North Bergen, NJ — March 23, 2007 — Petrapport, Inc. is voluntarily recalling pig ear dog treats it imported from a Chilean company during the period August 2006 through December 2006 because the pig ears have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism that can cause serious infections in dogs, and, if there is cross contamination, young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Laboratory testing has confirmed that samples of Full-Cut Pig Ears dog treats sold by BJ’s Wholesale Club in 25-count packages under the “Berkley & Jensen” brand with no lot number and only the expiration advisory “BEST IF USED BY 2009” (without referencing a specific month) were contaminated with Salmonella. Additional testing of other pig ear dog treats from shipments during the above time period has not revealed any additional evidence of Salmonella contamination, but Petrapport nonetheless is voluntarily recalling them out of an abundance of caution due to concern that the pig ears imported during this period may not have been effectively irradiated for Salmonella before shipment from Chile.
The voluntary recall includes dog treats sold by BJ’s Wholesale Club in its 25-count packages of “Berkley & Jensen” Full-Cut Pig Ears dog treats with no lot number and only the expiration advisories “BEST IF USED BY 2009” (without referencing a specific month) as well as “BEST IF USED BY SEPTEMBER 2009,” “BEST IF USED BY OCTOBER 2009,” “BEST IF USED BY NOVEMBER 2009,” and “BEST IF USED BY DECEMBER 2009.”
Also included within this voluntary recall are the following lots of pig ear dog treats sold in bulk by other retailers under the “Petrapport” brand:

Salmonella can potentially be transferred to people handling these dog treats, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the product or any surfaces exposed to these products. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis. Consumers exhibiting these signs after having contact with this product should contact their healthcare providers.
Dogs that become ill from Salmonella generally will have a fever and diarrhea that may contain blood or mucus. Affected animals may seem more tired that usual, and may have vomiting. Some dogs do not have diarrhea, but will have decreased appetite, fever and excess salivation. If your dog has consumed the recalled product and is exhibiting these signs, please contact your veterinarian.
While there have been no confirmed illnesses to date, consumers should immediately stop feeding these treats to their dogs. These products have been removed from the sales floors and the sales inventories of all retailers.
Consumers who purchased any of the above-identified pig ear dog treats should discontinue use of the products and may return the unused portion to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumers who have further questions may contact Petrapport at 800-447-3872 extension 110.
