WINTER WEATHER WARNING FOR PRIUS DRIVERS
2008-02-11 14:54:00
Traction control shuts down engine on slippery surfaceOne year after first reports in ConsumerAffairs.Com that the Toyota Prius traction control system can fail to operate properly on a snowy road, Prius owners report the hybrid’s TRAC system is still inadequate on slippery inclines.One Vermont Prius driver, suffering through a recent January snowfall, described Toyota Prius traction control as "dangerous in mountainous snow country.”The Vermonter wrote that the “system is flawed and should definitely be modified. In marginal traction conditions, such as Vermont winters, the Prius traction control system will shut down power to the drive wheels and prevent forward movement.”In January 2007, ConsumerAffairs.Com reported the traction control failure in the Prius as one of the oddest Prius stories on file."When my car is on any kind of slick surface that causes one of the front wheels to slip, all power to the drive system is stopped," wrote Christopher of Reston, Virginia.Trac...

MYSPACE BUG LEAKS 'PRIVATE' TEEN PHOTOS TO VOYEURS
2008-02-11 14:28:00
A backdoor in MySpace's architecture allows anyone who's interested to see the photographs of some users with private profiles -- including those under 16 -- despite assurances from MySpace that those pictures can only be seen by people on a user's friends list. Info about the backdoor has been circulating on message boards for months.Since the glitch emerged last fall, it has spawned a cottage industry of ad-supported websites that make it easy to access the photographs, spurring self-described pedophiles and run-of-the-mill voyeurs to post photos pilfered from private MySpace accounts.The bug, and its long-term survival, raises new questions about privacy on the News Corp.-owned site, even as it touts a deal with the attorneys general of 49 states meant to polish its online-safety image."If kids are doing what they think they need to do, and are still having their photos picked up by slimebags on the internet ... then these are serious issues," said Parry Aftab, executive direc...

FORD FIRES STRIKE IN MINNESOTA, CALIFORNIA
2008-02-10 13:48:00
Ford owners at risk as parts shortage slows recallThe firestorm of Ford trucks erupting into flames has struck in two more states, devastating Ford truck owners in Minnesota and California .The Ford inferno hit a homeowner in Chisago City, Minnesota last month when her 2000 Ford Expedition “started on fire parked in our attached garage. We have now lost everything we owned,” wrote the Ford Expedition owner. “The home we built not even 2 years ago burned to the ground,” she said.Neighbors of the burned-out Chisago City homeowners are helping their friends. "Rob and Gina's house burned," wrote a friend. "Fortunately, they got out of the house with their 2 daughters.""The fire is being investigated, but it started in Gina's truck. Rob opened up the mudroom door and the entire car was engulfed in flames," he said. "Everything, including both their cars were torched.""This will be a hard time for the children and for Rob and Gina. I am hoping we can get together and help their k...

RESEARCHERS REPORT CANCER BREAKTHROUGH
2008-02-10 13:27:00
New approach may improve both detection and preventionEarly detection usually gives cancer patients a better chance of beating the disease. Now, researchers at the University of Nebraska Medical Center say they may have achieved a significant advancement, not only in detection, but perhaps preventing cancer in the first place.Researchers in Omaha have assisted in a significant discovery – the understanding of a common mechanism of cancer initiation – that they say could result in better cancer assessment, prevention and detection."We have a novel approach to cancer. We know the initiating step," said Ercole Cavalieri, Ph.D., of the University of Nebraska Medical Center. "We think prevention of cancer can be solved by eliminating this initiating step."Eleanor Rogan, Ph.D., a UNMC research collaborator, said the breakthrough occurred with the discovery of the first step that starts a cell down the road to becoming a cancer cell."By preventing this first step from happening, we thi...

'SWATTING' PUTS POLICE, PUBLIC AT RISK
2008-02-10 12:54:00
Latest telephone scam involves bogus 'emergencies'Here's a new -- and dangerous -- twist to an old telephone scam.A new breed of techno-savvy criminals are faking emergencies just to draw attention to themselves.And their scheme is putting police officers, emergency responders, and innocent victims in potentially risky situations.Federal authorities this week warned consumers about the ploy, which they call "swatting."According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), con artists behind this ruse dial 9-1-1 and fake an emergency to draw a response from police – usually a SWAT team.The callers often claim hostages are about to be executed or a bomb is going to explode.Link to complete story: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/200 8/02/swat_scam.html~Sandy G.

DRUG-RESISTANT E. COLI AND KLEBSIELLA BACTERIA
2008-02-10 12:35:00
A research team from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, examining bacterial isolates obtained in hospital and non-hospital clinical settings between 2000 and 2006, has identified drug-resistant strains of E. coli and Klebsiella bacteria in more than 50 blood, urine and respiratory samples. These resistant strains, which resemble bacteria reported in Latin America, Asia and Europe, were thought to be rare in the U.S.This is the first report of this phenomenon in the United States, the researchers said.The resistant strains produce “extended-spectrum beta-lactamases” (ESBLs), enzymes that destroy penicillin or cephalosporin class drugs, thereby conferring resistance to those drugs, said James Jorgensen, Ph.D., professor of pathology, medicine, microbiology and clinical laboratory sciences at the Health Science Center. The strains are typically resistant to other commonly used antibiotic drug classes, as well.“These very common bacteria, when they produ...

MICROCHIPS EVERYWHERE: A FUTURE VISION
2008-02-08 14:24:00
Here's a vision of the not-so-distant future:_Microchips with antennas will be embedded in virtually everything you buy, wear, drive and read, allowing retailers and law enforcement to track consumer items - and, by extension, consumers - wherever they go, from a distance._A seamless, global network of electronic "sniffers" will scan radio tags in myriad public settings, identifying people and their tastes instantly so that customized ads, "live spam," may be beamed at them._In "Smart Homes," sensors built into walls, floors and appliances will inventory possessions, record eating habits, monitor medicine cabinets - all the while, silently reporting data to marketers eager for a peek into the occupants' private lives.Science fiction?In truth, much of the radio frequency identification technology that enables objects and people to be tagged and tracked wirelessly already exists - and new and potentially intrusive uses of it are being patented, perfected and deployed.Some of the wor...

FDA WARNS OF CONTAMINATED GULF COAST SEAFOOD
2008-02-07 15:55:00
Discovery follows outbreaks of illness in D.C. and St. LouisThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning seafood processors that some consumers have recently become ill after consuming fish carrying the ciguatera toxin. The illness is known as ciguatera fish poisoning.The toxic fish were harvested in the Northern Gulf of Mexico, near the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, which is located in federal waters south of the Texas-Louisiana coastline.FDA had considered CFP from fish in this geographical area extremely rare until recently, when several outbreaks were confirmed in Washington, D.C., and St. Louis, Mo. The agency said the illnesses were linked to fish caught near the marine sanctuary.FDA said it now considers CFP to be a food safety hazard that is reasonably likely to occur in grouper, snapper, and hogfish captured within 10 miles of the marine sanctuary and amberjack, barracuda and other wide-ranging species captured within 50 miles of the sanctuary.Link to c...

USDA CLOSES PLANT SUSPECTED OF SLAUGHTERING DOWNER COWS
2008-02-07 14:40:00
Humane Society video sparks mad cow fearsThe U.S. Department of Agriculture has ordered the closing of the Hallmark Meat Packing Co. plant in Chino, California, where animal rights activists said they videotaped "downer" cows being prepared for slaughter.Cows that cannot stand up are banned from the food supply because it is a primary characteristic of an animal with Mad Cow disease. The Humane Society of the U.S. says it obtained video evidence that workers at the plant repeatedly attempted to force "downed" animals onto their feet and into the human food chain.Undersecretary of Agriculture for Food Safety, Dr. Richard Raymond, says the Food Safety and Inspection Service has suspended inspections at the plant "based on the establishment's clear violation of Federal regulations and the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act."The plant had been closed voluntarily since the video first surfaced and USDA launched an investigation. Raymond said suspension is a regulatory course of action avai...

SMOKING LINKED TO SLEEP DISTURBANCES
2008-02-06 14:53:00
Nightly nicotine withdrawal may contribute to restless sleepNew research shows that cigarette smokers are four times as likely as nonsmokers to report feeling unrested after a night’s sleep.The study, appearing in the February issue of CHEST, the peer-reviewed journal of the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP), also reveals that smokers spend less time in deep sleep and more time in light sleep than nonsmokers, with the greatest differences in sleep patterns seen in the early stages of sleep.Researchers speculate that the stimulating effects of nicotine could cause smokers to experience nicotine withdrawal each night, which may contribute to disturbances in sleep.“It is possible that smoking has time-dependent effects across the sleep period,” said study author Naresh M. Punjabi, MD, PhD, FCCP, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD. “Smokers commonly experience difficulty falling asleep due to the stimulating effects of nicotine.

STUDY WARNS CHEMICAL IN BABY SHAMPOO MAY CAUSE HARM
2008-02-06 14:02:00
Phthalates suspected of damaging male reproductive systemParents concerned about lead paint on their children's toys may have something new to worry about. A study suggests some baby lotions and powders contain chemicals suspected of causing damage to male reproduction.The study appears in the latest issue of the journal Pediatrics.The study focused on chemicals called phthalates, which are becoming fairly common in the environment. They are used in lubricants and cosmetics, and increasingly they are showing up in plastic products, including children's toys.Recent tests on infants and toddlers have shown fairly high concentrations of phthalates in children's systems. The question for researchers – how are they getting there?The Pediatrics article says conventional wisdom has always held that children were exposed to these chemicals mostly through chewing on toys, or crawling around on dusty floors. The study was designed to narrow the likely sources.Researchers carefully measur...

CONSUMERS UNION WANTS CLONED FOOD CLEARLY LABELED

Survey shows 89% of consumers want labels on cloned meat, milkConsumers Union is calling on Congress to require tracking and labeling of milk and meat from cloned animals in response to the Food and Drug Administration’s assessment that food from cloned animals is safe for consumption.“The FDA’s own data show that a large proportion of cloned animals do not make it to their first birthday. Many fail to survive gestation, and others have birth defects such as squashed faces, deformed limbs, and immune deficiencies. Consumers have a right to choose whether they eat milk and meat from clones,” said Michael Hansen, PHD, Senior Scientist with Consumers Union.“It should be mandatory for clones and their offspring to be tracked and their products labeled in the supermarket,” Hansen said. “If cloning were a new animal drug, its use would be prohibited, since animal drugs must be safe for animals and well as humans. But because cloning is a new reproductive technology, there is...

'Rescue ' schemes often make matters worse for troubled homeownersThe wave of foreclosures has brought even more pain to some strapped homeowners – a wave of mortgage rescue scams. Some attorneys general are gearing up to counter these fraudulent operations.In Iowa, Attorney General Tom Miller has drafted a package of legislation providing new safeguards to people taking out mortgages.Miller's package also contains a bill that directly addresses mortgage foreclosure rescue fraud – scams that prey on people facing foreclosure by asking them to pay hundreds of dollars for so called assistance or "rescue" from the danger of foreclosure."The problem is these 'rescue scams' just take people's money and fail to do almost anything to help them avoid foreclosure," Miller said. "And they take precious funds from people who are vulnerable and who can least afford to be cheated. This is the definition of adding insult to injury."Link to complete story: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/n...
