NJ Company Recalls Over 300lbs of Tuna

2026-09-29T20:29:53Z

A New Jersey seafood company has recalled nearly 333 pounds of tuna distributed across five states after health officials found high levels of a toxin linked to histamine poisoning. Buckhead Meat Company, doing business as Trinity Seafood in Lakewood, voluntarily launched the recall on July 24 after the New Jersey Department of Health notified the company that two tuna samples had tested for high levels of scombrotoxin. Scombrotoxin can cause scombroid poisoning, with symptoms appearing within minutes to two hours and often resembling an allergic reaction, including facial flushing, sweating, dizziness, nausea, headache, hives and abdominal cramps. Severe cases can cause blurred vision, respiratory distress and swelling of the tongue, according to the FDA. The FDA formally classified the action as a Class II recall on Sept. 16 — nearly eight weeks after the company initiated it. The recall remains ongoing, according to the FDA record. No termination date has been posted, no press release was issued and the agency lists no subsequent update history for the product. The affected tuna was distributed in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Maryland, according to the FDA records. The recall covers 332.9 pounds of Buckhead tuna packed in Styrofoam containers marked “Keep Refrigerated.” The fish was sold in 10-pound, 12-pound, 15-pound and 3-to-5-pound cases. If you or a loved one has suffered losses due to consuming this or any Trinity Seafood product, you may be entitled to compensation.

Mangoes Sold in NJ Recalled Over Salmonella Concerns

2026-08-31T23:15:47Z

Panorama Produce is recalling hundreds of boxes of mangoes distributed to select Walmart stores in New Jersey and three other states because of possible Salmonella contamination, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The voluntary recall involves 302 boxes of size 9 mangoes distributed between Aug. 10 and Aug. 21 in New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.

The recalled mangoes were sold at select Walmart stores, according to the FDA.

The mangoes were packaged in Martina-branded cases. Individual mangoes can be identified by a light blue sticker labeled “Agrofepac” and “Produce of Mexico,” along with PLU number 4584 and UPC 07503061948050.

The recall was initiated after FDA sampling detected Salmonella in mangoes grown on the same farm as the recalled fruit. The mangoes that tested positive were not distributed in U.S. commerce, but because they came from the same source as the recalled mangoes, Panorama Produce initiated the recall.

If you or a loved one has suffered losses due to consuming these or any Panorama Produce product, you may be entitled to compensation. To learn more, contact the trusted personal injury lawyers at Breslin and Breslin today.

Popular Fruit Bars Sold in NJ Recalled Over Glass Shards

2026-08-28T15:22:52Z

Outshine Fruit Bars have been voluntarily recalled by their parent company after the FDA said it found shards of glass in its products.

Outshine's owners, Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, say that the contamination is restricted to only select Outshine bar flavors: strawberry, watermelon, grape, tangerine, and black cherry. The recall applies to the 6-packs of 2.5 ounce fruit bars, as well as the 24 count of 2.5 ounce bars.

Outshine bars have been distributed to supermarkets, grocers, and retailers around New Jersey and nationwide. "Dreyer’s is taking this action out of an abundance of caution following consumer reports of glass found in the product," the FDA said in a statement.

"No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date. Anyone concerned about an injury should contact a healthcare provider immediately. Consumers who have purchased the affected product should dispose of it or return it to their place of purchase for a full refund," the FDA said.

It is not yet clear how the glass wound up inside the bars. An investigation is underway. If you or a loved one has suffered losses due to consuming this or any Dreyer's product, you may be entitled to compensation. To learn more, contact the trusted attorneys at Breslin and Breslin today.

Conair Expands Cuisinart Grill Brush Recall

2026-08-28T15:07:29Z

Conair is expanding a recall of Cuisinart metal wire-bristle grill brushes after reports that bristles detached and, in some cases, were swallowed by consumers.

The recall now covers about 3.6 million brushes, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. About 1.9 million additional brushes were added Thursday to the nearly 1.72 million recalled in July.

Small metal bristles can detach from the brushes and stick to grills or food, creating an ingestion hazard and a risk of serious internal injuries that could require surgery.

Conair is aware of at least 54 reports and reviews involving detached bristles. Three consumers swallowed metal bristles and sought medical treatment to have them removed from their digestive tracts or throats, according to the CPSC.

The expanded recall covers all Cuisinart wire-bristle grill brushes, including numerous models sold individually and as part of grill tool sets. The brushes were sold at Walmart, Burlington, TJ Maxx and Ross, as well as online through Amazon and Cuisinart, from June 2009 through March 2026 for between $8 and $20.

If you or a loved one has suffered losses due to using this or any Cuisinart product, you may be entitled to compensation. To learn more, contact the trusted attorneys at Breslin and Breslin today.

While the resulting fires have caused severe property damage, no injuries have been reported to date.

Walmart has announced a recall of a popular baby product sold at its online store for a risk of serious injury or death.

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Little Grape Land is recalling about 1,430 nursing pillows because they violate federal safety standards and present a suffocation hazard to infants. This can pose a risk of serious injury or death to infants.

Can temporary workers’ families file wrongful death claims?

2026-07-21T07:08:39Z

Yes, the families of temporary, seasonal and staffing agency workers may have the option to pursue a wrongful death claim after a fatal workplace accident in New Jersey. Workers' compensation death benefits may provide the first source of financial support. However, some cases could also support a separate claim against a third party, such as a contractor, property owner, equipment manufacturer or another negligent company.

How could workers' compensation apply?

New Jersey workers' compensation law may provide death benefits to eligible dependents when a worker dies from a job related injury. Those benefits could help cover funeral expenses and provide ongoing financial support. In many situations, however, they may not provide the same types of damages that a wrongful death claim could allow. This issue may also affect temporary workers. If a staffing agency placed your loved one with a host employer, the employment arrangement could influence who provided workers' compensation coverage and how responsibility gets evaluated. The details of the placement, control over the worksite and the cause of the accident may all play a role.

When could a third party face liability?

A separate wrongful death claim may exist if someone other than the employer contributed to the fatal accident. In New Jersey, that could include unsafe worksite conditions, defective equipment, negligent subcontractors or a property owner who failed to address a known hazard. For example, a third party could include:

A contractor who ignored workplace safety requirements
An equipment manufacturer that sold a defective tool or machine
A property owner who failed to maintain reasonably safe premises
A driver or outside vendor whose negligence contributed to the fatal accident

The facts of the accident may determine whether one or more of these parties could share responsibility.

Why does the employment arrangement matter?

Staffing agency cases often involve more than one business. As a result, you may need to identify which company directed the worker's daily duties, controlled workplace safety and had the ability to reduce or correct hazards. Those details could affect both a workers' compensation claim and a potential wrongful death claim against a third party.

What New Jersey law applies?

One law that may apply is New Jersey's Wrongful Death Act. The statute allows certain family members to pursue a wrongful death claim when a person's death results from a wrongful act, neglect or default. It may become especially relevant when someone other than the employer contributed to the fatal workplace accident.

Looking closely at the facts may reveal additional options

Every workplace accident involves its own facts. If several companies played a role in the events leading to the fatal accident,getting the right legal advice, a careful review of the worksite, safety records, contracts and witness accounts may help identify the legal options that could be available. Early action may also help preserve important evidence before it becomes more difficult to obtain. For many families, workers' compensation may provide one path after a fatal workplace accident. Still, it may not always represent the only option. When another party's negligence may have contributed to the loss, a wrongful death claim could also be available under New Jersey law.
