The California Department of Public Health is advising consumers who bought specialty metal tissue boxes from Bed Bath &Beyond to return the items because they are contaminated with low levels of radioactive cobalt-60.

If you have purchased one of these tissue boxes and have gotten sick, contact a Riverside Personal Injury attorney who has been successful in product liability cases – one who will investigate your case to determine if you are entitled to compensation for your injuries and expenses.

During the Christmas holidays, many children received toys for gifts. Unfortunately, many of those toys will prove to be toxic and/or defective and have the possibility of injuring your child. In addition, many can pose serious choking hazards, hearing damage and lead poisoning, which can result in irreversible brain damage.
Consumer advocates at the U. S. Public Interest Research Group have released a list of toys that can prove to be dangerous and/or defective. They violate Federal safety standards for lead and other hazardous chemicals.
Examples of these dangerous toys include, but are not limited to:
· Sesame Street brand Oscar doll
· Wooden blocks
· Little Hands Love Book
· Whirly wheel by LL
· Disney’s Tinkerbell Watch
If your child received one of these toxic and/or dangerous toys and has shown sign of injury or illness, contact an experienced Riverside Personal Injury attorney who has been successful in product liability cases and will investigate your case to determine if you are entitled to compensation for your injuries and medical expenses.

The last person to be killed while riding a bike in Moreno Valley was in 2009. The accident is under investigation at this time; officials are investigating to determine if the bicyclist or the pickup truck driver was at fault. Many questions need to be answered before they can determine who was to blame.

A 52-year old deaf woman who was supposed to stand trial a few months ago for a hit-and-run death of a bicyclist in La Quinta was found to be mentally incompetent to stand trial.
Now, it must be determined where to house her. A hearing is scheduled for the end of the month to consider mental health placement recommendations. She requires a sign-language interpreter in court. She was initially charged with felony hit-and-run and misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter in the death of a 56-year old bicyclist last year. He was riding a mountain bike in the bike lane when he was hit by the woman. Witnesses said the driver did not stop at the scene. He died at the scene.
If you have lost a loved one because of another person’s negligence, contact an experienced Riverside Criminal Law attorney who will protect your legal rights.

Who must yield the right-of-way when two vehicles are approaching an intersection?
According to California Vehicle Code Section 21800(a), “The driver of a vehicle approaching an intersection shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle which has entered the intersection from a different highway.”
If a vehicle runs a red light, under California Vehicle Code Section 21453(a), he or she is facing a serious traffic violation. The following are a few rules when you must yield the right-of-way at an intersection:
· Yield sign – slow down or stop.
· No signs or signals – yield the right-of-way to a vehicle approaching from the right.
· Stop signs on every corner – yield to the first vehicle that comes to a complete stop. If 2 vehicles stop at the same time, the vehicle on the left yields to the vehicle on the right.
· Want to turn left – make sure approaching traffic passes and all is clear.
· Pedestrians – always yield to a pedestrian.
Remember, signaling does not give you the right-of-way; make sure you have a clear path in front of you before proceeding.
No one should have to pay the price for someone else’s negligence. If you are injured in an accident where the other driver did not yield the right of way, contact an experienced Riverside County Personal Injury attorney who will get you the compensation you deserve.

Even though the worldwide web provides more information than ever before, it also provides an opportunity for crime against unsuspecting individuals – including children.
Children who are not monitored while on their computers are exposed to an abundance of potentially risky and harmful activities. Children are exposed to strangers on their computers. We use caution with whom our children play with; we need to use caution with whom our children talk to on the computer. We need to make sure they do not have access to pornography, violent images and especially pedophiles.
California District Attorney Offices everywhere are committed to protecting children from becoming an online victim and from becoming involved in illegal Internet activities. The goal is to reduce the risks of children becoming exploited and/or abducted by Internet predators. The Internet should be a good experience, a learning experience and a place to get helpful information.
There are serious penalties for using the Internet to commit a crime, which include prison. Keep your children safe – monitor their activities.

The definition of hit and run is the crime of failing to stop, identify oneself and exchange the necessary information after a vehicular collision. A hit and run may carry criminal charges depending on the damages and injuries. It is the responsibility of every driver to stop when involved in an accident with a pedestrian, a vehicle or someone’s property – according to the California Hit and Run Law.
If you damage a parked vehicle or property and cannot locate the owner, California law requires you to leave a note on the damaged property. You must include your name, telephone number and facts about the accident. You must also file a police report.
A hit and run is usually considered a misdemeanor. This is when there are minimal damage and no injuries. A misdemeanor penalty may carry six months in a county jail, fines and/or victim restitution. When there is serious bodily injury or death, a felony charge is issued. Penalties for a felony charge include several years in prison, thousands of dollars in fines, DMV points and/or license suspension.
If you were charged with a Hit and Run crime, I would urge you to consult an experienced Criminal Defense attorney. If this is your first offense, a good attorney can help you to stay out of jail.
