KC Area Concerned About Recent Chicken Nugget Recall

Perdue Farms Incorporated has had to recall almost 46 tons of chicken nuggets.  This astonishing recall came in light of multiple consumer complaints and an investigation conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service. 

The announcement for the official recall was made this past Monday, and the Kansas City area has expressed concern over this very common househould food.  It is difficult for most parents to pay extensive attention to and be able to recall the product names that they buy when going grocery shopping.  But this shocking story has many calling home and the daycare center to make sure that there child is not ingesting this potentially hazardous chicken.

After multiple complaints were filed to the Perdue Farms Company, a trend was noticed.  Many of the consumers reported finding pieces of blue plastic lodged into their chicken nuggets.  Obviously, this shocked many parents because this is a potential choking hazard, especially for younger children.  To add to that concern, foregin materials can cause internal damage as they pass through the digestive tract. 

These consumer reports sparked an investigation from the USDA.  Upon investigating, the USDA was able to pinpoint the contaminated products and how to identify them.  Their findings fall in line with the same ones reported in the consumer complaints: little blue pieces of plastic. 

There are several ways to identify these bags of chicken nuggets.  First of all, you can look at the labels on the bag-style packaging that read: "GREAT VALUE," "Fully Cooked Chicken Nuggets," or "Perdue Farms."  The bags come in 13 and 16-ounce sizes and have the following establishment number and case code: P-33944; 89008 A0160. 

If you believe that you have purchased or your child has ingested one of these chicken nuggets, we urge you to contact the USDA at 1-877-727-3447 or by visiting their website.

If a child you love has suffered as a result of a child injury or accident situation, we urge you to call anyone of our Kansas City-based Child Injury and Accident Attorneys immediately.  With over fifteen years of experience, we are more than prepared to take on your case today. 

Two Kansas City Teens Drown at Church Camp

In mid-July, two teenage boys from the Kansas City area drowned to death in a community swimming pool.  The boys were just fifteen and fourteen years old.  Authorities do not suspect that they were goofing around or even that foul play was involved because this case appears to be completely accidental. 

The two boys were attending a youth camp put on by one of America's largest athletic youth leadership organizations, Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA).  The camp was being held in Pella, Iowa.  This camp pertained especially to the boys' interest seeing as how they were both skilled athletes and devoted to their faith. 

But just because a child is athletic does not mean that they are naturally inclined to withstand an accidental drowning.  Sadly, the bodies of both boys were found together under the diving boards at a community swimming pool complex. 

Why did this happen?  It is believed that no lifeguards were on duty at the time of the drowning.  And to make matters worse, the parents of both boys had signed release forms prior to camp indicating that these boys were incapable of swimming.  For whatever reason, these forms were overlooked and these children were allowed into the pool area.  Sometime later, another camp attendee noticed that the boys were no longer with the group, and that is when the search began for them. 

This story has now torn up their religious community.  The funeral services for these children were performed by their youth pastor but not without a considerable share of tears.  The older boy was loved for the kindness and generosity he showed towards others, especially younger children.  But what makes this story especially tragic, is that the younger of the two boys had actually survived the earthquake that occurred in Haiti earlier this year.  He and his mother had finally found a safehaven in the Kansas City area.  But now his mother who survives him is without her son. 

This story is especially heart-wrenching not just because it hits so close to home, but also because it could have been prevented if those release forms had been taken into account.  The Kansas City child injury and accident lawyers of Roswold Law Group want to express our deepest sympathies to the families of these child accident victims.  This situation is truly unfortunate and we write informative articles like these to inform parents and prevent child injury situations.  If you believe that a child you love has suffered at the hands of a negligent adult and you seek legal counsel, we urge you to give our law offices a call.
