Defects ranging from sudden deflation to wind damage have led the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to recall 21,000 Banzai inflatable water slides.

There have been several injuries reported from the use of this pool toy, and one death was also recorded.

The death of Ray Easterling last week may change the concussion lawsuit against the National Football League from a personal injury case to a wrongful death case.

The 62-year-old Easterling was found dead in his Virginia home last week from what seems to be a gun shot that he self-inflicted.

Easterling is involved in a lawsuit against the NFL that states that the organization was negligent and careless in the treatment of concussions that caused former NFL players to suffer from long term head injury side effects. Sixty-one different concussion lawsuits have been filed against the league and these represent over 1,000 players.

This morning around 8:30 a.m., a fatal construction accident took place on U.S. 41 near Scheuring Road in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

A construction worker, employed with Lunda Construction Co., was working with a crane when he was killed. Details regarding the construction accident have yet to be released, and an ongoing investigation is underway.

The Occupational Health and Safety Administration and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation are looking into the causes of this fatal accident. This is the second construction-related death this week in the state of Wisconsin. Earlier in the week, a 50-year-old city worker was killed after she was pinned underneath a riding mower.

A mother in active labor arrived at an Argentinian hospital on April 3 in order to give birth to her daughter. Instead, her and her husband were put through a whirlwind of emotions all due to a medical error.

Once the baby came into the world, she was instantly taken away and not shown to her mother. Grim doctors came back to inform her that her child was stillborn. She was handed a death certificate and left alone. The woman and her husband were persistent in wanting to visit the morgue to say their goodbyes.

When the casket was opened down in the refrigerated morgue, the woman fell over in shock. Her tiny daughter had let out a whimper and was clearly breathing. The baby’s father grabbed the child and rushed her upstairs in order to keep her alive. Five doctors associated with the delivery of this premature baby have been put on suspended leave.

Doctors that are currently helping the newborn  have said that she is in critical condition, but getting stronger on a daily basis. The parents of the girl have plans to file a medical malpractice lawsuit against the hospital.

On Monday in San Fernando Valley, singer Bobby Brown was arrested and charged with driving under the influence.

Brown was initially pulled over in regards to talking on his cellphone while driving, but then officers had reason to believe that he had consumed alcohol before getting behind the wheel. A field sobriety test was conducted and Brown allegedly failed.

He was arrested around 12:20 p.m. in the afternoon, and taken to jail. This is Brown’s second, if not third, arrest dealing with drinking and driving. In 1996, he was convicted of a DUI and was sentenced to eight days in jail. Brown is currently out on bail awaiting his court date.
