READ THIS: Listerine Recall

Johnson & Johnson recalled a recently launched Listerine plaque-detecting rinse marketed primarily for use by children after testing revealed contamination by microorganisms.

Johnson & Johnson is saying at this point there have been no cases of illness reported but that you should discontinue use of this product immediately. Listerine Agent Cool Blue, released in 2006, has a problem with the preservative system it uses. Over 4 million bottles of this product are included in the recall. The company also has confirmed that no other Listerine products are affected by this recall.

Recently pet food, now mouth wash! Although not the same problem, thank goodness, it does go to show that we really need to stay aware of what is going on. We get so comfortable day to day and tend to forget that not everything is safe. It does look like Johnson & Johnson did the right thing in policing itself though. Make sure you read the press release for the details, the mouth wash was Not contaminated, it just appears that the preservative used in the product is insufficient in fighting off bacteria that can build up in the bottle over time. Makes me wonder though if it can't fight bacteria sitting in the bottle, how is it supposed to fight anything in the mouth?

There is already talk of changing laws that would make you the legal Guardian of your pet. This would give your pet the same rights as your kids. Sounds great but there is also speculation that this could raise the price of pet care and different types of insurance. Do you think this is the right way to handle this? Leave a comment.

Almost done!

Just a little more tweaking and MrManUSA.com will be all done. The menus are not completely functional yet but getting there. Make sure to drop me a note and tell me what you think!

Easter is almost here and my wife and I are finishing up our plans. Normally we put on a huge egg hunt with over 3000 eggs and invite family and friends to join in. With tables full of toys and so many eggs the kids get sick of picking them up it has been quite the event. I have missed the last two due to my deployment to Iraq. This year we are toning it down and doing a very special one for our two kids. Here is a place where you can get some ideas on what you can do with your family for Easter! We have decided on having a challenging hunt for both of the kids with cool prizes to find along the way!
