Costco recalls meatloaf sold in DC region for possible salmonella

Costco is recalling a ready-to-eat meatloaf and mashed potatoes meal because an ingredient could be contaminated with salmonella.

The wholesale club is telling customers not to eat any part of the product, called Meatloaf with Mashed Yukon Potatoes and Glaze, with sell-by dates between March 5 and 16.

The recalled item was available and sold at Costco locations in Maryland, Virginia, D.C. and two dozen other states between March 2 and 13.

Customers can return it for a full refund.

Costco said it’s taking this precaution after a supplier recalled an ingredient used in the meatloaf.

The ingredient, the company said in a statement, “has the potential to be contaminated with salmonella.”

Costco also said no injuries or illnesses have been reported.

A salmonella infection is potentially dangerous for young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. It can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections. Common salmonella infection symptoms include stomach cramps, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting and can last for a week.

Salmonella is contagious, so if you think you or someone you know has been infected contact your primary care physician or go to a hospital.

Ford recall for seat belt issue and a do-not-drive order for some Bronco Sport and Maverick vehicles

Ford is recalling almost 420,000 vehicles because of a seat belt issue that may result in an injury if a crash occurs. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a report Tuesday that the recall includes certain Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator vehicles with model years 2018 through 2022. The issue involves seat belts that may lock inadvertently, not allowing them to retract or extend. The NHTSA report says a seat belt that doesn't retract or extend may result in an injury if a crash happens. Individuals may also face injury in some instances if the seat belt retracts rapidly. The recall replaces and expands on two previous NHTSA recalls. The report states that Ford Motor Co. is aware of two warranty claims and two field reports related to the latest recall. The company is also aware of one injury.
