Jitterbug Cell Phones May Fail To Dial 911- Software Update Required
Jitterbug Cell Phones made by Samsung may fail to dial 911 in an out of service area. This poses a tremendous risk to the user base of this model- elderly who need a simple phone in case of an emergency.
As many as 160,000 Jitterbug Phones may have this problem, the model numbers to look out for are SPH-a110 and SPH-a120 with standard key pads and version BB14 software. The phones were manufactured between March 2008 and May 2009. This recall does not apply to any other Samsung phones.
While Samsung and Jitterbug are directly contacting consumers to schedule a free software upgrade, consumers should call Samsung directly if they have not been called.
For additional information, contact Samsung toll-free at (866) 304-4980 between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, and on Saturday between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. CT, or visit www.samsung.com
FDA Warns Consumers About Peanut Butter Products, 1 Day After Lance Tells Us Theirs Are Safe
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers that foods containing peanut butter like candy, cakes, and pies shoud be avoided until the agency can determine the cause of a salmonella outbreak that has afflicted five hundred people. Six deaths are attributed to the outbreak.
Peanut butter is made from a paste created by roasting cured peanuts. Experts believe that the paste was tainted which would taint the end product. Kellogg reacted quickly before the government made any recommendations and pulled Austin and Keebler branded peanut butter crackers from store shelves.
We contacted Lance, Inc (NASDAQ:LNCE) after Kellogg reacted so quickly. Days before the U.S. government said to avoid products with peanut butter, Lance denied any problem with their product. Lance told Consumer Help Web,
“We produce our own peanut butter and are not connected with the recent peanut butter recall. We can assure you our products are safe to eat.”
Maybe so. But for now we are sticking with federal recommendations about peanut butter products. Those recommendations say, in part, “Because identification of products subject to recall is continuing, the FDA urges consumers to postpone eating commercially-prepared or manufactured peanut butter-containing products and institutionally-served peanut butter until further information becomes available about which products may be affected.”
Passing on a Reese’s Cup or peanut butter crackers sounds like good food advice for this week.
