The table includes spaced-apart upper and lower plates that have radially oriented impellers sandwiched between them to direct material being thrown off of the table by centrifugal force to exit the table at the proper angle to achieve maximum fracture upon striking the anvils. The impellers have projecting tabs which fit into receptacles in the upper and lower plates and the plates are squeezed together to hold the tabs in the receptacles and lock the plates and impellers together in a rigid table assembly. The upper plate has a central opening through which material is deposited onto the table. A funnel directs material fed into the crusher through an infeed plenum and into the central opening in the upper plate to ensure that all of the material reaches the table.Type: Grant Filed: May 11, 1992 Date of Patent: September 28, 1993Assignee: Canica Crushers, Inc.Inventors: Neil M. Rose, Stephen B. Ackers, Brett M. Rose, William F. Burr

** News Desk October 17, 2024, A 2023 outbreak of Trichinellosis linked to undercooked bear meat in western North Carolina highlights the ongoing risks associated with consuming wild game, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The report emphasizes the need to educate hunters and the public about safe meat preparation practices to prevent the parasitic disease.

The outbreak in November 2023 involved 10 probable cases of Trichinellosis, a disease caused by consuming raw or undercooked meat containing Trichinella larvae. The CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report detailed how bear meat at a gathering in western North Carolina was not adequately cooked, leading to illness in attendees.

Symptoms and diagnosis challenges
One of the patients was reported to the North Carolina Division of Public Health on Nov. 29, 2023, after experiencing flu-like symptoms typical of Trichinellosis, including muscle pain, fever and facial swelling. Of the 34 attendees at the event, 22 reported eating the bear meat and ten developed symptoms. The affected individuals ranged in age from 10 to 40, with a median age of 17. However, confirmatory tests were challenging despite the clinical symptoms, as none of the patients returned for additional follow-up testing. This, along with the absence of leftover bear meat for laboratory testing, complicated efforts to definitively confirm the outbreak’s source. 

** BrucePac Nearly 2 million more pounds of ready-to-eat wraps, salads and frozen meals containing chicken were added to a list of products recalled for potential contamination with listeria, a pathogen that poses a particularly serious risk to people 65 and older.

The affected products, made with chicken supplied by BrucePac, are part of an 11.7-million-pound recall of meat and poultry distributed to restaurants, schools and other institutions nationwide, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Retailers include Amazon, Walmart, 7-Eleven, Target, Kroger, Safeway, Aldi, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, HEB, Meijer, Albertsons, Giant Eagle, Wegmans, RaceTrac, Raley’s and The Save Mart Co.

** Montvale, NJ, September 19, 2024 — Dynarex Corporation is recalling 62 cases of item number 4875, Dynacare Baby Powder, Batch Number B 051, because it has the potential to be contaminated with asbestos. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that is often found near talc, an ingredient in many cosmetic products. Asbestos, however, is a known carcinogen and its health risks are well-documented. During talc mining, if talc mining sites are not selected carefully or steps taken to purify the talc ore sufficiently, the talc may be contaminated with asbestos.

The product was sent to distributors on or after March 11, 2024, by direct delivery in the following states: AL, AR, CO, IL, KY, NC, NJ, PA, TN, FL, WA, WI and sold online on Amazon (Amazon.com).

The 4875 Baby Powder is packaged in 14 oz. plastic bottles, 24 bottles to a case, identified as batch/lot number B051, Expiration Date 2026/12/28 (located on the bottom of the bottle).

There have been no illnesses or adverse events reported to date.

The recall was the result of a routine sampling program by the FDA which revealed that the finished products contained asbestos. The company has ceased the distribution of the product as an investigation is proceeding to determine what caused the contamination of the talc.

Consumers who have purchased Dynacare Baby Powder, Batch Number B 051, should discontinue use immediately and return it for a full refund. Please contact Dynarex Corporation at 888-396-2739 or 845-365-8200 during business hours of 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, or via email at recall@dynarex.com if you have any questions or need information on how to return the product or receive a full refund.
