Dog Owners Sue Over Deadly Dog Treats From China.

Posted on July 18, 2012 by gil hoy

Dog owners in eight different states have filed a class action wrongful death lawsuit for their animals that were killed or made sick from eating contaminated chicken jerky treats from China.  The lawsuit is against Nestle Purina, the maker of two popular brands of the dog treats, as well as the stores that sold them.

The Food and Drug Administration has refused to release results on inspections of the deadly treats, which may have caused over 1,000 illnesses and deaths in pets across the United States.  The treats allegedly contain toxins that cause kidney failure in pets.

The dog owners are also suing Wal-Mart, Target and Costco, the largest retailers that sell the products. The stores have not yet pulled the products from their shelves, and they maintain that the treats are safe.

The lawsuit includes a large number of dog owners, who claim that their otherwise young and healthy dogs were killed by the allegedly defective treats.

Boat Explodes in Florida Canal.

Posted on July 10, 2012 by gil hoy

An unoccupied boat was docked in the Dania Beach canal in Florida, when neighbors suddenly smelled smoke and saw flames.  The neighbors called 911, and suddenly saw the boat explode and then go up in flames.

The owners of the boat had rented the space from homeowners near the canal, but the homeowners and boat owners were both away at the time of the boat fire.

After the explosion, the boat leaked petroleum all over the canal, and witnesses were worried that the flames would spread further.  Once firefighters arrived at the scene, they extinguished the flames before they reached other docked boats. 

An initial investigation reveals that a leak in the boat may have caused the fire.

Florida Lifeguard Fired for Saving Drowning Man.

Posted on July 9, 2012 by gil hoy

Tomas Lopez, 21 years old, was working as a lifeguard in Hallandale Beach, Florida for the past four months.  Lopez, however, was recently terminated from his lifeguard position when he disregarded a protected area to save a swimmer.  The company he worked for, Jeff Ellis and Associates, has a strict policy that lifeguards cannot go beyond the protected zone they are responsible for overseeing.

However, Lopez believes that he had no choice but to save the drowning man, who may have died without his help.  A beachgoer rushed to Lopez’s station to alert him to a man who was drowning.  The man was swimming 1,500 feet outside of Lopez’s zone, in a “swim at your own risk” area. 

The man had turned blue when Lopez pulled him to the shore, and is now in the intensive care unit at a local hospital.

Lopez was terminated for breaking company policy and for alleged liability issues that could supposedly arise in going outside of his protected area.  His supervisor said that Lopez knew he was breaking company rules, but the company has launched a further investigation to confirm whether any safety protocols were violated.
