The original recall stemming from these problems was issued in November 2008 for 2001 and 2002 models of Accords and Civics as well as some 2002 model year Acura TL vehicles. Last summer Honda added 443,727 vehicles to that recall in the United States. Now, that total number of vehicles recalls is up to more than 826,000 in the United States. Last month, Honda announced a separate recall for 646,000 Fit, City and Jazz models over defective power window switches that pose a potential fire hazard. That auto product defect caused one death in South Africa.

This is the third beef recall just in the last three months over E. coli contamination. In November, ground beef from New York-based Fairbank Farms resulted in 26 illnesses, 19 hospitalizations and five who developed hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). This is a complication of E. coli infections, which could lead to kidney damage or even death. In December, Oklahoma-based National Steak and Poultry recalled about 124 tons of mechanically tenderized beef products. Those tainted beef products left 21 people sick in 16 states, including nine hospitalized and one case of HUS. In total, 776,000 pounds of E. coli-tainted beef have been recalled over these three months.

If you or a loved one has suffered serious adverse health problems or hospitalization as a result of these contaminated beef products, please contact an experienced New York food-borne illness attorney at Wingate, Russotti & Shapiro LLP for a free claim evaluation. We will make sure that your rights are protected and that you get fairly compensated for your injuries, pain and suffering and medical expenses.

New York pedestrian accidents can result in devastating injuries for victims. Some of these accidents are caused by pedestrians who do not follow the rules of the road. However, very often, pedestrian accidents happen because drivers do not yield the right-of-way. This could happen because the motorist is driving under the influence, talking on a cell phone, texting, or simply not paying attention to his or her surroundings.

These Hyundai Azera models have a wiring harness for the right front seatbelt tension sensor that could become damaged after repeated use of the seatbelt. This could lead to the right front passenger airbag not deploying in the event of a car crash. This seatbelt and airbag defect could lead to catastrophic or fatal injuries to the front passenger. When the recall begins, Hyundai dealers will replace the wiring harness for the seatbelt tension sensor free of charge. If you own a Hyundai Azera involved in this recall, you should take your car to a dealer right away to check if your seatbelt tension sensor needs to be replaced.

More than 40 percent of traumatic brain injuries are caused by auto accidents, which is the most common cause of this type of injury. A traumatic brain injury in New York can result in changes to how a person processes information. Speech can become slurred. Thinking can be slowed down. Short-term memory can be completely lost in some cases. Judgment can become impaired. Almost always, brain-injured patients need extensive therapy, which dramatically increases the cost of treating this condition as well. And even so, the therapy only helps these injured victims cope with their brain injury. Brain damage is forever.
