The recalled Fall 2009 Newbury Travel Mugs were manufactured in China. Of note, defective imports from China have been making headlines in recent years; this recall of defective Fall 2009 Newbury Travel Mugs is another of many such issues on which we have been writing.

In 2008, nearly 80 percent of all product recalls in the United States involved imports from China. Products such as dog food, baby formula, toys with lead paint, and even pharmaceuticals like heparin have been found to have been made with toxic materials and other counterfeit ingredients that have long been putting United States consumers at significant risk.

I am glad I chose Parker and Waichman to represent me and couldn't be happier to work with Julie and Maryann. They have been extremely helpful in assisting me and helping me throughout the whole process. They have made this uncomfortable situation feel very comfortable from day one and have been calling me with updates and checking up on me to see how I have been doing. Great Job and THANK YOU to them both.
