Ton Shen Health Recalls Life Rising Brand “Side Head Regulator TT Tablet” Because of Possible Health Risk for Children Under the Age of 18

Ton Shen Health of Chicago, IL, is recalling its Life Rising brand “Side Head Regulator TT” Tablets because they have tested positive for elevated levels of lead for children under the age of 18. Lead is a naturally occurring element which can affect multiple body systems and is particularly harmful to young children. Recent lab tests indicate certain lots of TT product have elevated levels of lead above the currently recognized acceptable levels for children. Lead poisoning can happen if a person is exposed to high levels of lead over short periods of time. Due to the test results affecting children and to the possibility of use by children, Ton Shen Health is recalling the TT product.
The recalled Life Rising brand "Side Head Regulator TT" tablets were mostly sold locally in Chicago area retail stores and some were distributed to other states through mail orders.
The product comes in a 1.6 ounce, white plastic package marked with lot # on the bottom. UPC: 616042101010
People with high blood levels of lead may show no symptoms, but the condition may cause damage to the nervous system and internal organs. Acute lead poisoning may cause a wide range of symptoms, including abdominal pain, muscle weakness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and bloody or decreased urinary output. Children are particularly vulnerable to lead poisoning. Lead poisoning can be diagnosed through clinical testing, and individuals who have consumed TT Side Head Regulator should talk to their health care providers about testing.
If a child is exposed to enough lead for a protracted period of time (e.g., weeks to months) permanent damage to the central nervous system can occur. This can result in learning disorders, developmental defects, and other long-term health problems. The extent of the functional detriment is dependent on the duration and degree of exposure. Such an outcome may occur if this product containing the reported level of lead were consumed by children in such a way. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this product, but the tablets have been tested and due to the elevated level of lead for children presently in TT samples tested, all TT products distributed by Ton Shen Health are being recalled.
The elevated lead level for children was noted after FDA tested a sample of TT tablets that were provided to the FDA. This recall is precautionary in nature, but important for all users of this product to comply with and make sure any TT products in their possession are not consumed by children and returned for a refund or destroyed.
The sale of the product has been suspended by Ton Shen Health effective end of September of 2016.
Consumers who have purchased Side Head Regulator TT tablets are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-312-842-2775 central standard time, Monday to Friday, from 9:30AM to 5:00PM.

Public Notification: Ultimate Body Tox contains hidden drug ingredient
11-7-2016
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is advising consumers not to purchase or use Ultimate Body Tox, a product promoted and sold for weight loss on various Web sites, including www.ultimatebodytox.com, and possibly in some retail stores.
FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Ultimate Body Tox contains sibutramine. Sibutramine is a controlled substance that was removed from the market in October 2010 for safety reasons. The product poses a threat to consumers because sibutramine is known to substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and may present a significant risk for patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, or stroke. This product may also interact, in life-threatening ways, with other medications a consumer may be taking.
Health care professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of this product to FDA's MedWatch Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program:
Complete and submit the report online MedWatch Online Voluntary Reporting Form,
https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/index.cfm?action=reporting.home
or: Download and complete the form,
http://www.fda.gov/downloads/AboutFDA/ReportsManualsForms/Forms/UCM349464.pdf
then submit it via fax at 1-800-FDA-0178.
Note: This notification is to inform the public of a growing trend of dietary supplements or conventional foods with hidden drugs and chemicals. These products are typically promoted for sexual enhancement, weight loss, and body building and are often represented as being “all natural.” FDA is unable to test and identify all products marketed as dietary supplements that have potentially harmful hidden ingredients. Consumers should exercise caution before purchasing any product in the above categories.

McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams Recalls Select 16oz. Packages Due To Possible Health Risk

Santa Barbara, CA - Out of an abundance of caution, McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams is undertaking a voluntary recall of selected, 16 oz. (pint size) packages of ice cream produced by a contract manufacturer because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
The seven affected flavors, available only in pints, accounts for approximately 15% of the pint-packaged ice cream products carrying the McConnell’s brand label. All of the recalled products were manufactured and packaged in a facility owned by a contract manufacturer, Dr. Bob’s of Upland, LLC. No other products were affected. Ice cream produced at McConnell’s Santa Barbara facility are not included in the recall. No illnesses have been reported.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, listeria infections can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found samples positive for Listeria monocytogenes in the contract manufacturer’s facility and in finished product of another company’s brand, leading the contract manufacturer to recall all ice cream products it produced for McConnell’s and other ice cream companies this year.
Because this recall affects only McConnell’s products manufactured by the contract manufacturer facility, it is important that consumers carefully check the following flavor/code date combinations to be certain the correct products are removed.
The following flavors and “Best By” code dates are being recalled:

The product comes in a 16-ounce (pint size) paper package marked with “Best By” lot numbers listed above and printed in black on the bottom of the carton.
Consumers who have purchased any of the seven 16-ounce (pint size) packages of McConnell’s ice cream should not eat these products and are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

As some of you know I have have back problems for years. I have learned to live with the pain until now. For 43 years I have had back pain mainly on my left side. Now I have pain on my right side. I've been through traction, therapy, surgery, etc. I've worked, played (within limits), and lived the best I could.
This new twist has really gotten me down. Some days it's all I can do to function. It's a new place for me to have pain and I don't like it. My doctor recommended aqua therapy and it was okay but I saw no benefits. The pain got too great and I had to stop.
I went and had an MRI last week and I'm waiting to go see an neurosurgeon for an evaluation when they call me. I have no doubt they are going to want to do surgery and I'm just not comfortable with that at this time. I can still walk and drive which was something I could not do before I had surgery back in 1987.
The point of this post is to let everyone know that there are days when I don't post anything due to what is going on. This means I have to play catch up and I don't like that. Bear with me if you can. I'll keep going until I get to the point it's too painful to sit and type as which point I will let you know.

AC Creamery Inc. of Anaheim, CA, is recalling its 16 ounce packages of "Manila Sky Purple Yumm Ice Cream" because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.

The product comes in a 16 ounce, paper cup marked with an expiration date of Mar 06, 2018 stamped on the bottom.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found samples positive for Listeria monocytogenes in the contract manufacturer’s, Dr. Bob’s of Upland, LLC, facility, and in finished product of another company’s brand, leading the contract manufacturer to recall all ice cream products produced this year.
Consumers who have purchased 16 ounce packages of "Manila Sky Purple Yumm Ice Cream" are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 1-714-871-9951, Mondays-Fridays from 9AM -5PM Pacific Time.
