MORE GOLF CART ACCIDENTS? | Golf Cart rules change statewide | ELLENTON LAKEWOOD RANCH

MANATEE COUNTY - You may notice more golf carts around the Bay area. On September 1, 2010 a state law that prohibits residents from riding their golf carts on sidewalks will change. A clause in House Bill 971 has been approved, allowing counties to permit golf cart use on designated sidewalks with proper signs. As of now, Manatee County has not mandated where golf carts can go.

Despite the possible changes, law enforcement officials want to remind golf cart drivers they should never travel on roads. They say doing so is not only dangerous, it's also illegal and could result in a ticket.

Also, until the county mandates where golf carts can go, drivers can still be ticketed for traveling on sidewalks in certain areas.

After deliberating about two days, a jury found that the failure of Davol and its parent company, C.R. Bard Inc., to warn about the dangers of mesh patch led to the plaintiff's injuries.  The records reflect that the plaintiff suffered after having a hernia repaired in 2005.

PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT | X-Waves | Child's death on playground

NATIONAL - Many school districts have rushed to remove or are considering removal of teeter-totter-like playground equipment called X-Waves after a 9-year-old girl was fatally injured while playing on one.  Those that have not been removed have been temporarily fenced off.

The X-Wave's manufacturer, Xccent, "refused to discuss" the matter. The X-Waves look like three teeter-totters joined end to end by a flexible polymer material that allows the bench seats to go up and down without pinching.

AUTO ACCIDENT | Mazda recalls vehicles with potential power steering fault | Crashes

NATIONAL - According to the Chicago Tribune (8/18) reports that Mazda "is recalling 215,000 Mazda3 and Mazda5 vehicles to fix problems with the power-steering system that could lead to a crash," saying that the "vehicles could have a sudden loss of power-steering assist, making it more difficult for the driver to steer the vehicle. The automaker says that could increase the risk of a crash."

Parents Warned: Bounce Houses Pose Lead Hazard to Children

NATIONAL - An investigation by the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) has prompted lawsuits to be filed today by CEH and the California Attorney General against leading makers, distributors and suppliers of bounce houses (also called jump houses or inflatable jumpers). CEH testing found one bounce house contained more than 70 times the federal limit for lead in children’s products under the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act. Independent testing commissioned by CEH also showed that lead from bounce houses can expose children to the toxic chemical at levels that violate California law. 

“Parents expect that their children might be a little dizzy after a jumping session, but most parents would never suspect that a bounce house could pose a hidden health threat,” said Michael Green, Executive Director of CEH. “We look forward to working with the Attorney General to eliminate these unnecessary lead exposures to children.”

The companies to be sued today supply bounce houses to many retail bounce house party outlets as well as to independent companies that rent and deliver bounce houses to individuals, festivals and events.

Bounce houses are often made with vinyl (polyvinyl chloride, or PVC), a “poison plastic” that is often made with lead, a neurotoxin that can cause learning disorders, brain and nerve damage, hearing problems, stunted growth, and digestive problems. Scientists are increasingly convinced that there is no safe level of lead exposure, especially for young children.

PATIENTS AT RISK | Avandia | FDA approval | GSK

NATIONAL - According to TIME (8/12, Park) reports that the FDA panel's recent decision to recommend keeping Avandia (rosiglitazone) on the market is "a move worth billions of dollars to GSK but that also may have put millions of patients at risk." The move is also an example "of the drug industry's outmaneuvering FDA regulators," which is "disturbingly common, say both scientists and policymakers who follow drug approval and safety monitoring." FDA critics and industry monitors "charge that the drug-approval process is too easy for pharmaceutical companies to game. It is in some ways an unsurprising development. The FDA serves a public insatiably hungry for new medicines. Yet the agency does not have responsibility for performing safety testing."

BLOOD CLOT | FDA warns physicians about problems associated with IVC filters

NATIONAL - According to the Associated Press (8/10, Tanner) reports, "Medical filters that stop blood clots from reaching the lungs can move or break and cause life-threatening problems for patients, the government and a medical journal report said Monday."

The AP adds, "In an advisory to doctors and patients, the Food and Drug Administration said it has received more than 900 reports about problems with these filters since 2005." Notably, the "problems can arise when filters are left inside veins too long."

IVC filters are small, cage-like devices that are inserted into the inferior vena cava (the main vessel returning blood from the lower half of the body to the heart) to capture blood clots and prevent them from reaching the lungs. IVC filters are frequently placed in patients at risk for pulmonary embolism, or PE, when anticoagulant therapy cannot be used or is ineffective. Some patients may require long-term protection from PE, and implantation of permanent IVC filters is often performed in these cases. Others only require short-term protection, in which case retrievable IVC filters are typically used, as these devices have the option to be removed once the patient’s risk of PE subsides.

NOT PAYING OVERTIME | Could cost MILLIONS of DOLLARS | Employees | BACK PAY

NATIONAL - According to The New York Times (8/10, A15, Pear) reports, "The Obama administration is investigating pay practices throughout the health care industry after finding that many hospitals and nursing homes do not pay proper overtime to nurses and other employees who work more than 40 hours a week."

Many "hospitals around the country have paid millions of dollars in back wages to settle claims by the government and their employees," and several others "are fighting class-action lawsuits that raise the same issues." Meanwhile, the "Labor Department has hired 250 new wage-and-hour investigators, representing a staff increase of one-third," because the "government wants to make sure workers get 'every penny they earn,'" said Kenneth Stripling, an official with the department.
