Potential salmonella contamination results in dog food recall
Mid America Pet Food issued a recall for three lots of its Victor Super Premium Dog Food, Select Beef Meal & Brown Rice Formula, as a precautionary measure due to potential salmonella contamination at its Mount Pleasant, Texas, production facility. A third party discovered the salmonella during random testing, prompting the recall.ย

Honda recalls Civics due to incorrectly assembled power steering rack
Honda Motor Co. announced a recall affecting more than 176,000 of its 2022-2024 Honda Civic four- and five-door vehicles, citing concerns that an incorrectly assembled replacement power steering rack was installed during service repairs.ย
The company says the replacement steering racks in the recalled Honda Civic vehicles may lead to the tire chafing against the lower suspension or tie rod end, potentially resulting in tire damage. Such damage could pose a significant risk, as a compromised tire could fail, increasing the likelihood of a crash or injury.ย
To address the issue, Honda says it plans to conduct inspections and replace the electric power steering racks on the affected Honda Civic vehicles at its dealerships. This service will be free of charge to owners, and the company anticipates sending recall notification letters to affected vehicle owners starting on Dec. 4, 2023.
Toyota announces recall for Highlanders due to potential bumper defect
Toyota issued a voluntary recall for 751,000 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid vehicles due to a potential defect in the front lower bumper mounting tabs, which may cause the bumper to dislodge after a minor impact. This issue poses a crash hazard, as the mounting tabs could detach, leading to safety concerns.ย
To address the problem, Toyota technicians will assess the tabs and slots for damage on the front bumper cover, and if no harm is detected, they will enhance the design with improved retention hardware and replace both the lower and upper bumper covers. In cases where damage is identified, technicians will install new hardware. All repairs will be conducted free of charge to the vehicle owners.
Toyota plans to notify owners of the impacted vehicles before late December.ย
Potential salmonella, E. coli contamination leads to Future Seafoods oysters recall
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a recall for all oysters harvested Oct. 10 at Area PE9B by Future Seafoods Inc. due to potential contamination with salmonella and unacceptable levels of E. coli.ย
Future Seafoods distributed the affected oysters to customers Oct. 10-16, affecting restaurants and retailers in several states, including Florida, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia.ย
Salmonella infection symptoms typically manifest within 12 to 72 hours, with an average duration of four to seven days. The consumption of food or water contaminated with E. coli can lead to varying degrees of gastrointestinal illness, ranging from mild to severe.ย
The FDA urges consumers not to consume oysters from Future Seafoods Inc. and requested restaurants and food retailers in the affected states to refrain from selling these products.ย
