The cereal company Kellogg recently issued a recall for
36,000 packages of its Special K Red Berries cereal. The company voluntary
issued the recall as the cereal could possess tiny shards of glass fragments. The
recall is for cereals with “use by” dates between November 30, 2013 and
December 2, 2013 and is towards three different sized packages of the red
berries cereal.
So far, no injuries have been reported, but this isn’t the
first recall issued by the cereal company. In October 2012, the company recalled
2.8 million boxes of mini-wheats due to possible contamination of flexible
metal mesh fragments. In 2009, the company recalled some of its Keebler
crackers and cookies because of possible contamination of salmonella.
Defectively
Manufactured Products
Around the world, numerous companies have produced defective
products due to manufacturing errors. When this occurs and consumers are
injured due to the product, the manufacturer can be held liable for wounds
resulting from use of the item. Other examples of a manufacturing defect in a
product include:
- A child’s crib where the wall falls off
- A tainted batch medicine containing a harmful substances
- A car with a defective gas pedal
In all of these examples, the product was manufactured
poorly causing it to not work properly and potentially causing severe injury to
the consumer. When injury occurs, the injured consumer can seek damages from
the manufacturer. Often times, injuries can result in medical treatment and expenses
or cause the injured to take time off from work to heal. When this happens, it
is imperative to take legal action and seek compensation for losses suffered.
