LegalView Announced Its Newest Practice Area with Details of a Popular Cereal Recall Due to Salmonella

Denver, CO, April 13, 2008 --(PR.com)-- LegalView, the number one resource for everything legal on the Web, announced the recent addition of a new information portal with details of a salmonella cereal recall, which may affect individuals who consume the Malt-O-Meal brand of unsweetened Puffed Rice and unsweetened Puffed Wheat cereals. Malt-O-Meal issued a voluntary cereal recall after internal food safety testing discovered salmonella-tainted cereal. Those who have purchased or previously eaten a Malt-O-Meal brand cereal are advised to speak with an attorney on the options for developing a cereal recall lawsuit.

Salmonella is a type of bacteria that is commonly found in animals and animal byproducts. Salmonella contamination occurs when the salmonella bacteria enters the lymph tracts of an individual, and causes effects such as nausea, vomiting, fever, headaches, etc. The lymph tract is what carries water and protein in the blood. Salmonella can be caused by several different factors but most commonly is caused by unhygienic preparation of foods or not thoroughly cooking through meats, eggs or other animal byproducts before consumption. Individuals who feel they have been affected by tainted products can learn more about developing a salmonella cereal lawsuit by visiting http://cereal-recall.legalview.com/.

Malt-O-Meal's recall applies specifically to packages of the cereal with a "Best If Used By" stamp showing dates between April 8, 2008 and March 18, 2009. Also, there were and are stores where the contaminated cereal may have been sold under store brand names, according to an Associated Press story, included the following brands: Acme, America's Choice, Food Club, Giant, Hannaford, Jewel, Laura Lynn, Pathmark, Shaw's, ShopRite, Tops and Weis Quality.

Additionally, LegalView offers hundreds of web portals, with information ranging from mesothelioma cancer to case results from a brain injury lawsuit to Avandia side effects. For example, the mesothelioma information portal provides victims of this deadly cancer with the latest on mesothelioma treatments, jury verdicts and asbestos cleanups around the country. Mesothelioma is caused through the inhalation of asbestos-tainted fibers and dust, which settle into the lungs and begin developing cancerous cells. Mesothelioma takes years to develop after initial exposure and is commonly misdiagnosed. There are currently no treatments that will stop or cure the spread of mesothelioma cancer cells, which is why individuals who feel they have contracted the disease are advised to not only speak with a medical professional immediately, but an experienced mesothelioma law firm as well. If diagnosed with mesothelioma, which is a preventable illness, the medical bills can be costly and developing a mesothelioma lawsuit may provide an individual with monetary compensation.

Avandia on the other hand, is an example of one of the many prescription drug information portals available through LegalView's library of legal topics. Avandia is a prescription drug given to diabetes 2 patients. However, studies have revealed that a strong link exists between Avandia use and heart disease as well as osteoporosis. Avandia has not yet been recalled, but patients taking the oral medication should contact a doctor as well as an experienced pharmaceutical law firm for more information.
