Egg recall over salmonella warning spans across nine states

Almost two million eggs have been recalled in the United States over concerns of salmonella contamination.
The recall, announced on Friday by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, affects products distributed in nine states and is associated with various grocery store chains.
According to the FDA, California -based August Egg Company of Hilmar is recalling 1,700,000 dozen brown cage-free and brown certified organic eggs due to potential contamination.
The eggs were distributed from February 3 through May 15, with sell-by dates from March 4 to June 4, within California and Nevada.
Products were distributed at locations including Save Mart, FoodMaxx, Lucky, Smart & Final, Safeway, Raleys, Food 4 Less, and Ralphs.
Eggs were also distributed from February 3 through May 6 with sell-by dates from March 4 to June 19 to Walmart locations in California, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nebraska, Indiana, and Illinois.
The recalled eggs will have the plant code number P-6562 or CA5330 printed on the carton or package, with Julian Dates between 32 and 126. The recalled retail eggs will be in fiber or plastic cartons, with the above codes printed on one side of the carton.
Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, the frail or elderly, and others with weakened immune systems, according to the FDA.
Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and even bloody diarrhea.
In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in more severe illnesses.
A statement from August Egg Company read: 'It is important to know that when our processing plant identified this concern, we immediately began diverting all eggs from the plant to an egg-breaking facility, which pasteurizes the eggs and kills any pathogens.
'August Egg Company's internal food safety team is also conducting its own stringent review to identify what measures can be established to prevent this situation from recurring.
'We are committed to addressing this matter fully and to implementing all necessary corrective actions to ensure this does not happen again.'

Real Housewives star Dolores Catania reveals frightening health crisis that led her to have surgery

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Dolores Catania revealed she was forced to have heart surgery after suffering from atrial fibrillation (AFib). Her condition is a form of arrhythmia, meaning her heartbeat had become irregular, causing her to have chest pains that began six months ago. Last month she underwent a cardiac ablation, a procedure that destroys the small bit of heart tissue that was causing the problem. Dolores, 54, went public with the news this weekend, posting an Instagram video that began with her boyfriend Paulie Connell driving her to the hospital. 'We are going to get my procedure done. It's a cardiac ablation for my AFib. I know, I'm too young to have this,' she quipped to the camera. As they emerged from the car and walked into the building, he asked if she had a 'last word' to say, to which she beamed at him and said: 'Love you.' She also posted photos and video of herself in her bed and gown, including one apparently post-op snap of herself grinning beside her electrophysiologist, whom she jokingly referred to as her 'other electrician.' 'About six months ago, I was driving when I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my chest that radiated down my arm,' she explained in her caption. 'As women, we tend to ignore aches and pains, brushing them off as part of everyday life- but this felt different,' remembered Dolores. 'After that, I started experiencing frequent flutters in my chest, sometimes waking me up at night. Eventually, I got scared enough to call my cardiologist,' she wrote. 'He gave me a heart monitor to wear, and within hours, he called to tell me I had AFib (atrial fibrillation). He referred me to an electrophysiologist, who confirmed the diagnosis,' added the New Jersey-born reality star. 'He told me, 'You're not the same girl I met two years ago when you came here with Paul.' Some of you may remember that my boyfriend, Paul Connell, was diagnosed with WPW (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome) and also needed an ablation.' Dolores offered a word to the wise to her fans: 'I'm sharing this because I want you to listen to your body. That racing or fluttering in your chest you feel doing simple tasks during the day- that's your body trying to tell you something. DON'T IGNORE THIS. AFib increases your risk of stroke or heart attack.' She crowed: 'I'm not 6 weeks out and back to myself! I'll be off all medication soon, and I haven't had any episodes since the procedure.' Dolores urged readers not to 'wait' as their 'heart health is not something to take lightly,' adding that she 'was truly in the best of hands' with her doctors and encouraging her public: 'Take care of yourself you deserve it!!' She began dating Paulie four years ago after they met in line at an Apple Store, and the pair have been living together for the bulk of that time. Her surname comes from her ex-husband Frank Catania, whom she was married to from 1994 to 1998, during which time they welcomed two children. Dolores has publicly claimed the marriage crumbled after she discovered that Frank cheated on her during her pregnancy with their son Frankie, 27.

Parents receive $2.2 million after doctor posted horrific video of their child's autopsy online

Georgia parents who sued a doctor after he posted autopsy photos of their decapitated baby on social media have been awarded a whopping $2.2 million in damages. Jessica Ross and Treveon Isaiah Taylor Sr. alleged their baby boy, Treveon Isaiah Taylor Jr., was decapitated during childbirth at Southern Regional Medical Center on July 9, 2023. The couple said they had no idea of their son's condition until they were notified by the funeral home and hired pathologist Dr. Jackson Gates to conduct an autopsy on the newborn. However, they filed a lawsuit against the pathologist after they paid him $2,500 for the autopsy and discovered he posted identifying videos and photos on Instagram, where he often shares his work for public health purposes. 'This video showed in graphic and grisly detail a postmortem examination of the decapitated, severed head of Baby Isaiah,' court documents said. The lawsuit stated that after the clip was removed, Gates posted two more videos of the baby's autopsy exactly a week later - ones that graphically depicted the baby's head, body, brain, and even organs. A judge ruled that Gates was liable for sharing the images on social media in March 2024. On Wednesday, a jury awarded Ross and Taylor $2.25 million in damages, as reported by Atlanta News First. 'While we are pleased that a jury punished Dr. Jackson Gates for his reprehensible behavior, nothing can ease the pain that the parents, Jessica Ross and Treveon Isaiah Taylor Sr., have experienced in losing their baby boy in such a horrific way,' the couple's attorneys said. 'After the decapitation of their baby, Gates poured salt into the couple's already deep wounds when he betrayed them. 'This young couple trusted him with the remains of their precious baby. Gates, in turn, repaid this trust by posting horrific images of their child for the world to see.' Gates's attorney, Ira Livnat, told WSBTV that his client regularly posted autopsy results on social media and had no intention of hurting Ross and Taylor. 'I believe that Dr. Gates believed he was helping. He believed he was helping the plaintiffs uncover what the hospital actually had done,' Livnat said 'He's absolutely heartbroken for what happened to this family. And what he said at trial was, is that if he had known that it would have harmed them, he would have never done it.' The parents' nightmare began on July 9, 2023, when Ross arrived at the hospital to give birth. They claim Dr. Tracey St. Julian applied 'ridiculously excessive force' on the baby's head and neck to try to deliver it while Ross was still awake. Ross began experiencing complications when her baby boy's shoulders got stuck during a vaginal delivery which started at 8.40pm, according to the suit. Dr. St. Julian is accused of delaying a C-section procedure and failing to seek help quickly. Instead, she applied 'ridiculously excessive force' on the baby's head and neck to try to deliver it while Ross was still awake, claims attorney and physician Roderick Edmond. The baby's body and legs were delivered by C-section three-and-a-half hours later at 12.11am, and his head was delivered vaginally. When Ross and Taylor demanded to see and hold their child, they claim the baby was tightly wrapped in a blanket with his head 'propped on top of his body' to make it appear like it was still attached. They ultimately found out about the decapitation from the funeral home, they claim. The grieving couple has filed a lawsuit against Ross and the hospital, accusing them trying to cover up what happened by discouraging them from getting an autopsy and encouraging them to have their son cremated. In February 2024, the Clayton County Medical Examiner's Office baby Isaiah's death was ruled a homicide. The baby suffered 'fracture dislocation with complete transection (to the) upper cervical spine and spinal cord,' according to an autopsy report. His death was caused by shoulder dystocia, arrest of labor and fetal entrapment in the birth canal. Pregnancy-induced diabetes and premature rupture of membranes also contributed, per the report.
