If you have been using Age Intervention Eyelash and now have vision problems, you may have a claim against Jan Marini Skin Research, Inc., the the seller and distributor of Age Intervention Eyelash.

Today, at the request of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, U.S. Marshals seized 12,682 applicator tubes of Age Intervention Eyelash for the following reasons:

• FDA considers the seized Age Intervention Eyelash to be an adulterated cosmetic. The product contains bimatoprost, an active ingredient in an FDA-approved drug to treat elevated intraocular pressure (elevated pressure inside the eye). For patients using the prescription drug, using the Age Intervention Eyelash in addition to the drug may increase the risk of optic nerve damage because the extra dose of bimatoprost may decrease the prescription drug's effectiveness. Damage to the optic nerve may lead to decreased vision and possibly blindness. In addition, use of Age Intervention Eyelash may cause other adverse effects in certain people due to the bimatoprost, including macular edema (swelling of the retina) and uveitis (inflammation in the eye), which may lead to decreased vision.
• FDA considers Age Intervention Eyelash to be an unapproved and misbranded drug because Jan Marini Skin Research has promoted the product to increase eyelash growth. Before a new drug product may be legally marketed, it must be shown to be safe and effective, and approved by FDA.

If you have been using Age Intervention Eyelash and now have vision problems, you need to consult your health care provider regarding the effect bimatoprost may have had on your vision. If you are diagnosed with macular edema, uveitis or any damage to the optic nerve, contact one of out product liability lawyers as soon as possible regarding a possible lawsuit against Jan Marini Skin Research and any other parties that may be responsible for your injuries.

A chemical coating on Aqua Dots converts to a powerful “date rape” drug when ingested. Two children in the United States slipped into a coma after swallowing some of the Aqua Dots. As a result Spin Master, manufacturer of Aqua Dots, has recalled 4.2 million Aqua Dot products, which were manufactured in (you guessed it) China.

Millions of toys sold in the U.S. and manufactured in China have been recalled due to high lead content (usually in the paint). Now Chinese manufacturers are coating products meant for children with a “date rape” drug. What will be next?

Legally, Spin Master is liable for any injuries to children that are caused by Aqua Dots. We are using “caused” in the legal sense, which means it has to be more probable than not that Aqua Dots caused a specific injury. We are accepting Aqua Dots lawsuit cases. If your child has been seriously injured by Aqua Dots, please contact us toll-free at 1-888-377-8900 or submit the online consultation form for review by one of our nationally-recognized product liability lawyers.

Wendy Bellissimo Collection convertible cribs have been recalled due to possible entrapment and strangulation of infants. The cribs were made in China and sold by Bassettbaby, a Bassett, Virginia company.

The bolts connecting the top corners of the recalled cribs can come loose, creating a gap and posing a serious entrapment and strangulation hazard. Bassettbaby has 85 reports of bolts loosening, including one report of a 13 month-old child’s hand becoming entrapped between the railings.

The crib recall involves about 8,900 Wendy Bellissimo Collection convertible cribs, model numbers 5945-0521 and 5545-0521, sold in honey and cherry finishes. The full size cribs have a sleigh design and one of the following purchase order numbers at the bottom rail of the headboard: 272903, 272904, 273904, 276728, 276729, 291081, 323975, 324472, 320318, 323976, 332883 365620, 368466 in honey, and 338535, 338537 and 332884 in cherry. All other Wendy Bellissimo Collection cribs are not involved in this recall.

The recalled cribs were sold at Babies R Us stores nationwide from July 2005 through October 2007 for about $500. Consumers should stop using these cribs immediately and contact Bassettbaby for a free repair kit. If your infant has been injured by a recalled crib, contact an attorney immediately. We are accepting cases of serious injury associated with cribs, including Wendy Bellissimo Collection convertible cribs and Simplicity cribs.
