About Listeria Poisoning:
Listeria monocytogenes, the bacteria that cause Listeriosis (Listeria poisoning), most often produce a gastrointestinal illness that can be quite serious or even fatal. Listeriosis in pregnancy, for example, may cause a miscarriage or fetal death. In other cases, people can develop Septicemia (a serious blood infection) or Meningitis (an inflammation of the covering of the brain and spinal cord, known collectively as the meninges).

If you suspect your food is contaminated, do not eat it. Contact the retailer for a refund or replacement. Wash your hands, contaminated preparation surfaces, cutlery and serving dishes thoroughly with hot soapy water and dry. Contact your MD immediately if you experience Listeriosis symptoms.

You can learn about Listeriosis from the US National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) at http://1.usa.gov/IScAKJ

Direct link: http://www.recalls.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/1051994

Additional information:
The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (“ACCC”) reports the following Children’s Night Clothing are subject to this recall:

According to the ACCC, the Girls’ Cotton White Woven Dot Nightdresses exceed the maximum permitted length and has the potential to be flammable due to the loose fitting garment style.

The garment, therefore, does not therefore comply with the Australia’s Mandatory Standard for Children’s Sleepwear and Limited Daywear, AS/NZS 1249:2003, as amended by the regulation. If the garment comes into contact with a flame, there is a risk of severe burn injury to the wearer.
