WASHINGTON (AP) – Some varieties of Skoal, Copenhagen, Cope and Husky brand smokeless tobacco are being voluntarily recalled amid complaints of metal objects, some of them sharp, being spotted in cans.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says all of the recalled products were manufactured at U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company’s facility in Franklin Park, Illinois. The FDA says the company initiated the recall after getting eight consumer complaints about the metal objects in six states. The FDA says the object was visible in each case and there have been no reports of injury.
Most of the company’s cans are not affected by the recall.
A full list of the recalled products is on the FDA’s website . The agency says anyone who has one of the recalled cans can return it for a refund.
Officials with the Cass County Health System (CCHS) said Wednesday, CCHS began a new affiliation with Diagnostic Radiology, PC., on Feb. 1st. Carrie Schmitt, Director of Diagnostic Imaging, said “When patients have diagnostic imaging tests done here, like x-rays or CT scans, those tests are reviewed by radiologists. As of February 1st, we are changing the radiology firm that we work with so that we can offer more services to our patients without having to travel to another city.”
Diagnostic Radiology, PC is a group of radiologists serving the Omaha metro, western Iowa, Siouxland, and northwest Missouri. With more than 8 physicians and several advanced practice providers, Diagnostic Radiology, PC is well equipped to provide remote and weekly on-site services in Atlantic.
Officials at biotech and seed industry giant DuPont say they need an extra three months to complete the merger with rival Dow. Iowa Farmers Union President Aaron Lehman of Polk City says the delay will give union members more time to weigh in with their opposition to the merger, as well as to other proposed pairings in the industry.
“Our farmers at our recent convention were pretty clear about what they thought, that not only this merger but the other mergers going on in agribusines now limit farmers’ choices,” Lehman says. “Innovation tends to take a hit when there’s fewer people doing it.” DuPont is the parent company of the Iowa-founded Pioneer Hi-Bred International. Lehman says the farmers union is also carefully watching deals involving Bayer and Monsanto as well as ChemChina and Syngenta.
“We need to take a long look at all of these large agri-business mergers and see if the farmers’ interests can be protected,” Lehman says. “What we see is less and less options for farmers which will ultimately lead to higher prices.” These mergers are coming at a bad juncture, he says, given the depressed agricultural economy.
“When the industry is under stress and under crisis, there are going to be opportunities for some mergers to take place,” Lehman says. “It just piles another brick on the load that farmers are carrying, along with very low, depressed commodity prices. We have to deal with fewer choices and ultimately higher input prices. The timing couldn’t be worse.” The initial closing date on the Dow-DuPont merger was March but now the companies hope to complete the process by the end of June.
