In October 2023, a significant recall of WanaBana fruit pouches was initiated after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) discovered elevated levels of lead in some samples of WanaBana Apple Cinnamon Fruit Purée pouches. This recall encompasses all WanaBana Apple Cinnamon Fruit Purée pouches, irrespective of the expiration date.

Following this discovery, the FDA urgently recommended that parents and caregivers immediately cease feeding their children these pouches and safely dispose of any remaining products. Additionally, for toddlers and young children who might have consumed the recalled pouches, the FDA strongly suggests consulting a healthcare provider to arrange a blood test for potential lead exposure.

Lead poisoning is a serious health condition that can cause a variety of problems, including developmental delays, learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and even death. Lead is a toxic metal that can damage the nervous system, especially in children.

The Onewheel is an electric skateboard product made by Future Motion Inc. The Onewheel features a large single wheel in the center of the board powered by an electric motor. Some Onewheel skateboards contain an apparent defect that causes them to stop suddenly and unexpectedly in mid-motion. When this happens it can throw the rider off and cause very serious injuries.

A growing number of product liability lawsuits are being filed against Future Motion by riders who have been injured by the sudden stop defect in the Onewheel device. These lawsuits are likely going to be consolidated into a class action MDL very soon.

The national product liability lawyers at Miller & Zois are currently accepting Onewheel injury cases. If you or a loved one was injured by a Onewheel skateboard, call 800-553-8082 or contact us online now to see if you may be eligible for compensation.
