Walmart Recalls Aromatherapy Spray Linked to 4 Cases of Rare Bacterial Illness That Has Killed 2 People
An aromatherapy spray imported from India and sold at Walmart Stores has caused four people to contract a tropical disease even though none had traveled internationally.
The four people that contracted the tropical disease (melioidosis) were from Georgia, Kansas, Minnesota and Texas. Two of them have died, one was a child. Melioidosis is an infectious disease that is caused by bacteria and is found in contaminated water and soil in tropical climates, especially Southeast Asia and Northern Australia.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released their investigative findings that the contaminated product is labeled “Better Homes & Garden Lavender and Chamomile Essential Oil Infused with Gemstones.” It was sold for $4.00 in 55 Walmart Stores and available online on Walmart’s website. The product was recalled from Walmart Stores on October 22, 2021.
If you or a loved one have been exposed to the aromatherapy spray manufactured by Better Homes & Gardens and sold at Walmart and have subsequently become ill, please call the experts at Inserra Kelley Sewell to see whether you might be entitled to compensation.
Recoverable Damages After a Motorcyclist Passes Away in a Nebraska/Iowa Collision
When a motorcyclist is killed in a wrongful death collision due to another driver’s negligence, the biker’s family is left in a wake of pain, suffering and grief. The family may begin the process of locating a will to start the process of initiating a wrongful death claim on behalf of the family. If there is no will, a probate estate may be opened up and a Personal Representative must be appointed to act on behalf of the deceased claimant. The Personal Representative has the legal power to probate the estate, sue, hire an attorney and settle the wrongful death case.
What are some of the recoverable damages for the decedent’s loved ones?
Wrongful death cases can be very complex. If your loved one has been killed in a motorcycle wreck, please call the attorneys at Inserra Kelley Sewell to see whether you might be entitled to compensation.

Phillips Recalls Millions of CPAP Machines and Ventilators
Phillips is recalling millions of sleep apnea machines and ventilators as they pose a serious health risk and they have advised consumers to stop using them immediately. A foam piece used in devices can degrade and release potentially toxic fumes into the patients. Some of the devices and ventilators being recalled are used for treating coronavirus patients.
The exposure to foam particles could cause headache, irritation, inflammation, respiratory issues, and possible toxic and carcinogenic effects, Philips said. The company will replace the current sound abatement foam with a new material and has already begun the preparations, which include obtaining the relevant regulatory clearances. Philips aims to address all affected devices in scope of this correction as expeditiously as possible.
The devices being recalled are Bi-Level PAP, CPAP and mechanical ventilator devices which are primarily first-generation DreamStation products.

Covidien and Ethicon Surgical Staplers Litigation
Today’s surgeons rely more on surgical staplers as an alternative to stitches and sutures due to the increased speed and ease of use provided by the devices. Ethicon and Covidien Surgical Staplers can misfire during a surgery and cause serious injuries. Thousands of surgery patients have reported serious injuries regarding the surgical staplers during gastrointestinal tract surgeries such as: colon cancer, diverticuli and weight loss surgeries to link sections between body parts such as the intestines and stomach. Misfiring of the device may lead to incomplete staple lines and malformed staples.
Due to the frequency of the misfires, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Class 1 recall and reported the following risks associated with the defective staplers:
As a result of these injuries, patients may require additional surgeries, including an ostomy bag (an external pouch to collect body waste). Many times, patients are forced to return to the operating room for an unplanned, emergency repair surgery. Other patients may be released from the hospital only to return a few days later once symptoms arise for emergency surgery.
Who are the manufacturers of Covidien and Ethicon Surgical Staplers? Covidien is a subsidiary of Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) which has a market cap of $152 billion. Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) is a parent company of Ethicon boasting a market cap of $384 billion.
Numerous lawsuits have been filed on behalf of patients hurt by the malfunctioning staplers. Some of the lawsuits have gone to trial and led to sizable verdicts against the defendants. The most prominent among them was a California case that ended up with the plaintiff being awarded $80 million, including $70 million in punitive damages against Ethicon.
If you or a loved one has been harmed by defective Ethicon or Covidien Surgical Staplers, please call the Mass Tort Team at Inserra Kelley Sewell to see whether you might be entitled to compensation.
