concerned asked:


I have never done this before but I almost lost my daughter due to the use of the Nuva Ring and have learned how dangerous this product is! How do I know what is the best firm to handle the case, should I use one in the same state I live? What are some good questions to ask and what is a normal percentage a firm receives if the suit is won?
Thank you
This was not listed when my daughter 1st started its use.

FDA PLEASE STOP ALLOWING THESE DANGEROUS HOMEOPATHIC PRODUCTS! Theracyl is just estradiol, progesterone and testosterone sprays without ANY dosing meter. If you buy prescriptions, like Estring, it’s TIGHTLY dosed because WHY? The Women’s Health Initiative showed that hormone replacement therapy was dangerous, caused higher rates of heart disease, dimentia, and cancers, and should only be reserved at small doses for short times for women who absolutely needed it.
All those lawyers suing because women got cancer from hormone replacement therapy—heads up!!! You should be suing this company too!!!
Why does the FDA allow this ancient quackery to be allowed in the midst of modern science and medicine??

Photographs taken of Liam Johns’ crib by the Sacramento County Coroner’s Office clearly show where it came apart.

The drop rail had detached from its plastic track, creating a gap through which the 9-month-old boy slipped feet-first. Instead of falling to the floor, Liam got his head stuck between the rail and the mattress. Trapped in a hanging position, the boy asphyxiated.

Liam’s April 2005 death prompted an investigation by a federal watchdog agency and a family lawsuit against the crib’s manufacturer, Simplicity Inc.

Consumers who have one of the cribs cited in the recall should contact Simplicity (888-593-9274 or simplicityforchildren.com) to obtain a repair kit with new hardware. If the crib already has the newer hardware (see attached graphic), consumers should still check the crib’s drop rail to ensure it is assembled right-side up.

But the company and the Consumer Product Safety Commission didn’t warn parents across the country about the potentially fatal flaw in Simplicity cribs–not after Liam suffocated, not after more complaints about the crib rails and not after two more infants died.

Once the Tribune began questioning the company and the agency this month, a massive recall of Simplicity cribs followed.

On Friday, the CPSC took action on 1 million cribs, including the model that the Johns family used for Liam. It is the largest recall of full-size cribs in the agency’s history.

In its Hidden Hazards series, the Tribune has documented how the understaffed and sluggish CPSC fails to protect children from dangers in toys and other products. The paper’s examination of Simplicity’s popular cribs underscores that, even in the aftermath of a child’s death, the agency can fall short in its watchdog role, leaving children vulnerable to a documented hazard.

Interviews and records show that the federal investigator assigned to Liam’s death failed to inspect the crib in his initial inquiry and didn’t track down the model or manufacturer.

“We get so many cases,” the investigator, Michael Ng, said in an interview this month. “Once I do a report, I send it in and that’s it. I go to the next case. We could spend more time, but we are under the gun. We have to move on.”

Only last week, after inquiries by the Tribune, did Ng return to California to find the crib. It had first been held as evidence by sheriff’s police and later was put in storage by a lawyer retained by the family.

Even with the recall, it remained unclear why it took so long to address the problem. The CPSC often gets bogged down in negotiations with companies over recalls because fedx eral law limits its powers and its ability to disclose details of its investigations into dangerous products.

Nancy Cowles, a child-product safety advocate and executive director of Kids In Danger, called for congressional hearings to look into the delay. “Was it because the CPSC has no power and the company was able to stall?” she asked.

When first presented with the Tribune findings this month, Julie Vallese, spokeswoman for the CPSC, said the agency could not comment about Simplicity. “We have more than one investigation open, and that’s why I can’t answer any questions,” she said.

In announcing the recall Friday, the CPSC blamed a flawed crib design and hardware that allowed parents to install the drop rails upside down, which can cause the rail to detach from the frame. The agency said it was aware of seven non-fatal cases of infants being trapped and 55 other cases of drop-rail problems.

It also linked the Simplicity cribs to three deaths but did not release the names of those children or the dates of the fatal accidents.

One of those children was Liam Johns, records show. Another was 6-month-old Edward Millwood, who died in November 2006 in Georgia. The third was 8-month-old Royale Arceneaux, who died in February in Houston. All three children fell between the mattress and a separated drop rail.

The drop rails in those deaths had been installed upside down. But the agency also found two incidents in which correctly installed drop rails failed to work properly.

Ken Waldman, president of Simplicity Inc., said in an interview Friday that the company makes safe products and works closely with the CPSC to fix any problems. He would not say why the recall did not occur earlier.

“This is the thing to do and that’s why we decided to do it now,” he said.

The Aspen 3 in 1, once Simplicity’s best-selling crib, accounted for the bulk of the recall. About 600,000 of those models, which are no longer made, were recalled.

Bravo 25 asked:


I wanna form a single-person LLC in the US as a Chinese citizen living in China. The LLC operates on the Internet ONLY doing business supplies retailing using an online store. All my product distributors are US based companies who drop ship products for me to my customers (mostly US customers). Please tell me if my following understandings about forming this LLC are correct.

I can form a single-person LLC in any US state of my choice without ever having to even come to US. I only need to search online and find a lawyer who lives in the state of my choice to be my LLC representative, then this same lawyer, or another lawyer, or a CPA, or a friend who lives in that state can represent me to go through all the legal process of forming my LLC. I can choose anyone to be my LLC representative (a lawyer, a CPA, a friend, etc.) as long as that person lives in that state as a US citizen or permanent resident.

Please help me correct any mistakes in the above statement. And please tell me the approximate total cost (doesn’t even have to be nearly accurate) for me to hire a lawyer in Arizona to help me form an Arizona LLC and then have a friend who lives in Arizona to be my LLC representative.

Also, how much (approximately) will it cost me to have a lawyer to be my LLC representative in Arizona? Is it dangerous to have the same lawyer who helps me form the LLC to be my LLC representative?

Lastly, I am both the shareholder and CEO (or General Manager) of my LLC, right? Am I even allowed to manage the day-to-day business of this LLC? I mean, I am not in US so I can’t be a US employee. But CEO (or General Manager) is by legal definition an employee, right? I am confused.

William S asked:


To the citizens of the United States of America:-
In the light of your failure to elect a proper President of the USA and thus
to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your
independence, effective today.
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy.
Your new prime minister (The Right Honourable Tony Blair, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
1. You should look up “revocation” in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then
look up “aluminium”. Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at
just how incorrect your pronunciation has been. The letter ‘U’ will be
reinstated in words such as ‘favour’ and ‘neighbour’, skipping the letter
‘U” is nothing more than laziness on your part. Likewise, you will learn to
spell ‘doughnut’ without skipping half the letters.
You will end your love affair with the letter ‘Z’ (pronounced ‘zed’ not ‘zee’) and the suffix “ize” will be replaced by the suffix “ise”. You will learn that the suffix
”burgh” is pronounced “burra”, as in Edinburgh. You are welcome to re-spell
Pittsburgh as ‘Pittsberg’ if you can’t cope with correct pronunciation.
Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up
“vocabulary”. Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler
noises such as “like” and “you know” is an unacceptable and inefficient
form of communication. Look up “interspersed”. There will be no more
‘bleeps’ in the Jerry Springer show. If you’re not old enough to cope with
bad language then you shouldn’t have chat shows. When you learn to develop your vocabulary then you won’t have to use bad language as often.
2. There is no such thing as “US English”. We will let Microsoft know on
your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account
of the reinstated letter ‘u’ and the elimination of “-ize”.
3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents. It
really isn’t that hard. English accents are not limited to Cockney, upper-class twit or Mancunian (Daphne in Frasier).
You will also have to learn how to understand regional accents – Scottish dramas such as “Taggart” will no longer be broadcast with subtitles. While we’re talking about regions, you must learn that there is no such place as Devonshire in England. The name of the county is “Devon”. If you persist in calling it Devonshire, all American States will become “shires” e.g. Texasshire, Floridashire, Louisianashire etc..
4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the
good guys. Hollywood will be required to cast English actors to play English
characters.
British sit-coms such as “Men Behaving Badly” or “Red Dwarf”
will not be re-cast and watered down for a wishy-washy American audience
who can’t cope with the humour of occasional political incorrectness.
5. You should relearn your original national anthem, “God Save The Queen”,
but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get
confused and give up half way through. 6. You should stop playing American “football”. There is only one kind of
football. What you refer to as American “football” is not a very good game.
The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders
may have noticed that no one else plays “American” football. You will no
longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football.
Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult
game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby
(which is similar to American “football”, but does not involve stopping for
a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like
nonces). We are hoping to get together at least a US rugby sevens side by
2005.
You should stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the ‘World Series’ for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.15% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. Instead of baseball, you will be allowed to play a girls’ game called “rounders” which is baseball without fancy team strip, oversized gloves, collector cards or hotdogs.
You will no longer be allowed to own or carry guns. You will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous in public than a vegetable peeler. Because we don’t believe you are sensible enough to handle potentially dangerous items, you will require a permit if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.
July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 2nd will be a new
national holiday, but only in England. It will be called “Indecisive Day”.
All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for your
own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean.
All road intersections will be replaced with roundabouts. You will start
driving on the left with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go
metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables.
Roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of
humour.
10. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries
are not real chips. Fries aren’t even French; they are Belgian though
97.85% of you (including the guy who discovered fries while in Europe) are
not aware of a country called Belgium.
Those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called “crisps”. Real chips are thick cut and fried in animal fat. The traditional accompaniment to chips is beer which should be served warm and flat. Waitresses will be trained to be more aggressive with customers.
11. As a sign of penance 5 grams of sea salt per cup will be added to all
tea made within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, this quantity to be
doubled for tea made within the city of Boston itself.
12. The cold tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually
beer at all, it is lager. From November 1st only proper British Bitter will
be referred to as “beer”, and European brews of known and accepted
provenance will be referred to as “Lager”.
The substances formerly known as “American Beer” will henceforth be
referred to as “Near-Frozen Gnat’s Urine”, with the exception of the
product of the American Budweiser company whose product will be referred to as “Weak Near-Frozen Gnat’s Urine”. This will allow true Budweiser (as
manufactured for the last 1000 years in Pilsen, Czech Republic) to be sold
without risk of confusion.

From December 1st the UK will harmonise petrol (or “Gasoline” as you
will be permitted to keep calling it until April 1st 2008) prices with the
former USA. The UK will harmonise its prices to those of the former USA and
the Former USA will, in return, adopt UK petrol prices (roughly $6/US
gallon – get used to it).
14. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers
or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows
that you’re not adult enough to be independent. Guns should only be handled
by adults. If you’re not adult enough to sort things out without suing
someone or speaking to a therapist then you’re not grown up enough to
handle a gun.
15. Please tell us who killed JFK. It’s been driving us crazy.

Tax collectors from Her Majesty’s Government will be with you shortly to
ensure the acquisition of all revenues due (backdated to 1776).

Thank you for your cooperation.
no offence
