Current Recalls We’re Watching:
Tesla Recall
Last week, Tesla, Inc. of Palo Alto, CA submitted documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) regarding a recall of nearly 6,000 2019-2021 Model 3 and 2020-2021 Model Y electric vehicles. According to the notice, the recall was initiated because the brake caliper bolts “may be loose, allowing the brake caliper to separate and contact the wheel rim. Contact with the rim may cause a loss of tire pressure, increasing the risk of a crash.” More information about the recall can be found here.
Enoki Mushrooms
The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) posted a recall notice on May 29, 2021 involving enoki mushrooms. This variety of mushroom is white with a long, thin stem and a small cap. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the mushrooms may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause serious or potentially deadly illness. The mushrooms were grown in Korea and distributed by Concord Farms of Vernon, CA to consumers via produce distributors. The recall notice says that so far, no illnesses have been reported. The UPC barcode for the impacted products is 049995041049.
Fish Recall
On June 2, 2021, the FDA announced that Banner Smoked Fish, Inc. of Brooklyn, NY is voluntarily recalling all of its smoked fish products (including salmon, lox, and others). The recall was initiated after routine FDA inspection found that “products were found to be processed under unsanitary conditions” and may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recalled smoked fish was distributed to retailers in New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Pennsylvania, California, Florida, Nebraska, Arizona, Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia, Nevada, Oregon, Wisconsin, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.
