Expandable lunch box set recalled

Posted on Thursday, January 26th, 2012 at 7:21 pm    

A three piece Ci Sport lunch box set is being voluntarily recalled by California Innovations, Inc. because of a potential chemical leak in the freezer gel packs.

The lunch box set came with an aluminum water bottle and a freezer gel pack. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the company received two reports of dogs consuming the freezer gel packs; one dog died while the other was able to recover. The gel packs contain poisonous chemicals that can also be dangerous to humans.

The Ci Sport lunch box set was sold in Leon Korol, Cost U Less, and Costco stores. Consumers who have purchased the recalled product can return it to Costco for a full refund.

The Superior Police Department have arrested a registered sex offender after discovering that he had been working with children.

The 31 year-old man was convicted in 1998 of second degree sexual assault and is required to stay on Wisconsin’s registered sex offenders list for life. New charges against him include failure to update his registry information, having a Facebook account under a false name, and working with children.

A local pastor called police after seeing the man’s picture in the newspaper and told them that the man had been volunteering at the church. He and his girlfriend would volunteer at the free clothing center, and the sex offender would often watch over children younger than five. He is scheduled to appear in court next month.
