GermanyTwo men have been charged with manslaughter after the death of a teenager who had an allergic reaction to a takeaway meal.
Fifteen-year-old Megan Lee died on 1 January, two days after she was admitted to hospital.
She had eaten food from Royal Spice takeaway in Hyndburn.
Lancashire Police said a post-mortem examination showed she had died from acute asthma due to a nut allergy.
Mohammed Kuddus, 39, of Blackburn and Harun Rashid, 38, of Haslingden are due to appear at Blackburn Magistrates’ Court on 4 January, the BBC has reported.
The pair are charged with manslaughter, failing to discharge general health/safety duty to a person other than an employee and contravening or failing to comply with EU provision concerning food safety and hygiene.
The company that owned Royal Spice has been charged with one count of failing to discharge general health/safety duty to a person other than an employee.
Royal Spice was temporarily closed by Hyndburn Council but is now trading under new ownership.
Since the EU Food Information for Consumers Regulation came in to force in 2014​​ all foodservice businesses have been required to list 14 allergens including nuts, gluten and mustard, on menus or have their presence communicated by staff.
Last year restaurant owner Mohammed Zaman was jailed for six years​​ for manslaughter after the death of a customer with a peanut allergy in what was thought to be the first case of its kind.
The prosecution heard Zaman had replaced almond power in recipes for a cheaper groundnut mix which contained peanuts.
According to the Food Standards Agency, ​​on average 10 people die and around 5,000 are hospitalised every year due to allergic reactions. Hospital admissions rose 87% from 2002-14 with the majority of cases caused by people being given incorrect information when eating out.
In a 38-page report released Tuesday, the USGS said it had randomly selected 20 water wells in the county and took water samples from them last August and September. The agency said seven of the 20 wells contained dissolved methane, and two of the seven tested above one milligram per liter (mg/L), considered an elevated concentration warranting an isotopic analysis.
Two state agencies, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Survey, collaborated with the USGS for the study.
Ronald Sloto, the USGS scientist who led the study, said there was a lack of pre-drilling water quality data in the tested area, which is the central and southern portions of Sullivan County.
Besides methane and other dissolved gases, scientists analyzed the water samples for 47 constituents and properties, including nutrients, major ions, metals and trace elements. They were also tested for radioactivity.
The report showed the water wells’ depth ranged from 46 to 500 feet, and the wells had casing lengths of 12 to 268 feet. The water yielded from the wells also varied, from 1.5 to 30 gallons per minute.
The two wells that tested for high levels of dissolved methane, SU-151 (4.1 mg/L) and SU-154 (51.1 mg/L), were drilled into the Catskill and Huntley Mountain formations, respectively. The USGS said the SU-154 well had “a very strong odor of hydrogen sulfide” during the collection of water samples.
Kathryn Klaber, CEO of the Marcellus Shale Coalition, told NGI’s Shale Daily that the oil and gas industry continues to take steps to ensure groundwater quality and the environment are protected.
MARCIANA P. FLORES, COMPLAINANT, VS. SOLEDAD V. GANADEN, RESPONDENT.
Two administrative complaints charging respondent Soledad V. Ganaden, a court stenographer of the Court of First Instance of Zambales, Branch I, Calaklan, Olongapo City with acts of grave oral defamation and libel have been filed by complainant Marciana P. Flores, a clerk of the same court. These separate charges are also the subject of pending criminal complaints against respondent filed with the Olongapo City court at the instance of complainant.
As to the first complaint dated July 18, 1973, respondent admitted in her comment and affidavit that she had uttered against complainant certain defamatory remarks (asserting that complainant had committed abortion when she was single) in the course of an altercation they had in their office. Respondent pleaded by way of mitigation that although she was not justifying her acts that she lost control of her temper and had been provoked by complainant. The record shows obviously that the protagonists are not on good terms with each other.
Respondent's admission renders unnecessary a formal investigation and she shall be administered a reprimand with warning for her censurable conduct. As the Court recently stressed in Atienza vs. Perez* those in the government service, are bound by rules of proper and decorous behavior in the office premises and "high-strung and belligerent behavior has no place in the government service, where the personnel and employees are enjoined to act with self restraint and civility at all times even when confronted with rudeness and insolence."
Complainant's second complaint dated August 21, 1973 stems from the first and charges respondent with libel and misconduct for having filed in July, 1973 official complaints against her (complainant) asserting that complainant had allegedly submitted to abortion and falsified her applications for sick leave by stating the cause of her sickness as influenza. (According to the complainant, the provincial fiscal dismissed respondent's charge of falsification against her). Since complainant's criminal case for libel against respondent is pending and subjudice, her second complaint shall be provisionally dismissed without prejudice to its refiling should the same be warranted by the result of the said case and there because
