Gerber Recalling Some Powered Formula

Over Possible Bacteria Contamination

(Dublin) -- A manufacturer is recalling some containers of baby formula over possible bacteria contamination. Perrigo says they’re pulling a portion of their Gerber Good Start SoothePro powdered formula products off shelves “out of an abundance of caution.” The recall applies to various sizes of containers sold across the U.S. with “Use By” dates between July 4th and 16th of next year. No confirmed cases of illness have been reported. Customers can contact the Gerber Parent Resource Center over the phone or online to get additional information or to request a refund.

Wyoming Becomes First State To Ban Abortion Pills

(Cheyenne, WY) -- Wyoming is set to become the first U.S. state to ban abortion bills. The bill signed Friday by Republican Governor Mark Gordon outlaws the prescription, distribution, sale or use of “any drug for the purpose of procuring or performing an abortion on any person.” The measure, which takes effect on July 1st, makes exceptions for rape, incest, or if the mother’s life is in danger. This comes as a federal judge in Texas considers ordering a nationwide ban on an abortion pill previously approved by the FDA.

Awaiting Federal Judge’s Ruling On Abortion Pills

(Amarillo, TX) -- The wait continues for a Texas judge’s decision in a case regarding abortion pills. A U.S. District judge heard arguments last week in an anti-abortion group’s lawsuit to overturn the FDA’s approval of abortion pills. The Alliance Defending Freedom sued in November on behalf of four pro-life medical organizations and four doctors who say they treated patients with mifepristone [[ miff-uh Pris-tone ]]. The drug was approved in 2000, but the lawsuit claims the government deliberately ignored what the plaintiffs describe as harmful side effects. A senior adviser at Planned Parenthood Texas points to the Trump-appointed judge’s background as a reason pro-choice advocates “can expect the worst.”

March Madness Top Time For Vasectomies

(San Antonio, TX) -- For many men watching the NC-Double-A tournament, it’s prime time for vasectomies. Urologist Alexander Rozansky with the University of Texas Health System says the end of the calendar year is the most popular time for vasectomies followed by March Madness. Dr. Rozansky says that’s because a lot of men can or do schedule time off which is recommended when you undergo that surgery. He says sitting on the couch watching college hoops is a good way to recover because it reduces the risk of bleeding and wound opening.
