Specifically, parents and caregivers have voiced concerns that infants can roll to the side or forward while placed in the rockers, posing a risk of suffocation or injury.

| ~ In Other News ~ If you or your spouse was an active-duty service member at the time you received a tax refund advance from TurboTax, Jackson Hewitt or H&R Block, it’s possible that your contract was illegal and unenforceable—and that you could be owed money back as a result. Attorneys working with ClassAction.org have reason to suspect that the tax refund loans offered by these companies may have run afoul of the federal Military Lending Act and are now investigating whether service members could file class action lawsuits and recover their full loan amounts. If this sounds like something that happened to you, share your story with us here. | Multiple proposed class action lawsuits have been filed over concerns that certain acne treatments contain the harmful carcinogen benzene. Walmart, Walgreens, Target and L’Oréal have all been named in lawsuits claiming that some of their benzoyl peroxide acne treatments – such as creams, washes and spot treatments – not only contain unsafe (and undisclosed) levels of benzene but are also at risk of degrading further into the dangerous carcinogen during normal use, handling and storage. Head to this page for more information on the cases filed against Walgreens, Walmart and L’Oréal, and this page for the case against Target. | ~ Forward to a friend ~
