Mail carrier loses second round in legal battle

by Administrator 24. August 2010 13:15

Last week, a Cedar Rapids letter carrier who fell down some steps while on duty has lost another round in his legal battle against the owners of the property.

The incident occurred in November of 2005 when the carrier walked up the owners' driveway to deliver their mail to the mailbox. As he walked across their yard towards a nearby apartment complex, he fell down some steps.

About two years later he filed his lawsuit and it reached the courts in 2009. The carrier testified that he had slipped on those steps a number of times as well as asked the property owners to clear them several times before. The jury found the owners were at fault but not legally responsible for the injury.

The Court of Appeals has rejected the carrier's request for another trial.

Iowa egg recall expands due to salmonella contamination

by Administrator 20. August 2010 11:43

The egg recall that was announced last week has recently expanded to nearly 380 million eggs nationwide due to salmonella contamination.

Wright County Egg in Galt, an Iowa livestock industry business, has been found to be where the contaminated eggs came from. Hundreds have gotten sick in a salmonella outbreak after consuming the eggs.

The company has shipped the eggs to wholesalers, food service companies and distribution centes in multiple states such as California, Missouri, Colorado, Illinois, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, and Wiscinsin. The eggs were sold under many brand names including Albertsons and Lucerne.
