2. NOW Foods Issues Voluntary Recall of Calcium & Magnesium Softgels

Bloomingdale, IL (May 27, 2011) – NOW Foods is conducting a voluntary recall of the
company’s Calcium & Magnesium Softgels because it has been determined that these products contain excessive amounts of vitamin D3 (30-40,000 IU per 3 softgel serving as compared to labeled 600 IU per 3 softgel serving).

Symptoms of high vitamin D dietary intake include: weakness, fatigue, sleepiness, headache,
loss of appetite, dry mouth, metallic taste, nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, constipation,
diarrhea, dizziness, ringing in the ears, trouble walking, skin eruptions, muscle pain, bone pain, and irritability. Advanced symptoms may include runny nose, itching, increased frequency of urination, nighttime awakening to urinate, and thirst. It may take continued use over time for
vitamin D to reach levels associated with side effects. Note that these symptoms may also be
associated with unrelated conditions and may not be indicative of high vitamin D levels.

In addition to increased blood vitamin D levels, laboratory tests may show serious health
consequences, such as hypercalcemia (high levels of calcium), azotemia (high levels of
nitrogen-containing compounds like urea and creatine), and anemia (decreased blood cells).
Prolonged hypercalcemia results in calcium deposits in soft tissues, which may result in
hypertension and may also result in heart rhythm abnormalities. Again, these conditions may
occur unrelated to high vitamin D levels.

The product was distributed throughout the United States and other countries. The affected U.S. product codes are 1251 and 1252. The affected U.S. lot numbers for product 1251 are:
1253208, 1267650, 1281776, 1296077, 1310719, 1323021, 1329683, 1340487, 1349828.

The affected U.S. lot numbers for product 1252 are: 1260999, 1268346, 1271906, 1281439,
1288392, 1300821, 1306959, 1314096, 1323076, 1328127, 1341148, 1342492, 1348404.

The product code is located on the label and the lot number is located on the bottom of the bottle.

NOW Foods has received reports of elevated blood vitamin D levels associated with use of this product as well as reports of nausea.

Consumers may not experience any side effects. Any consumers who have been taking the
recalled product for an extended period of time and are concerned should consult a doctor or
other healthcare practitioner.

Consumers should immediately discontinue use of this product. Consumers should return the product to the store where it was purchased for a full-refund or replacement. No receipt is
required. Please provide customer service with the ORDER NUMBER associated with the
recalled item(s) whether sending in a return or inquiring regarding this matter.

NOW Foods has provided information on this voluntary recall to all its retailers who purchased
this product and has encouraged retailers to make every effort to contact their customers to
facilitate the return of affected products.

All other NOW Foods products are not affected and are not involved in this recall.

Child’s Entrapment Death Prompts Big Lots Recall of Metal Futon Bunk Beds

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Big Lots, of Columbus, Ohio, is voluntarily recalling about 30,000 metal futon bunk beds.

Children behind the futon or in the ladder area of the bunk bed can get entrapped when the futon and its metal frame are lowered from the seated to the flat position. This is what happened to a three-year old Burlington, Iowa boy who died when he became entrapped at the head and neck in the recalled bunk bed in March of 2010. The weight of the futon’s metal frame prevented the child from breathing and escaping. CPR was administered, but the child died at the hospital due to compression asphyxiation.

The bunk beds have an additional hazard. The space between the last rung on the bunk bed’s ladder and the futon mattress is too small, which can allow a child’s body to pass through, but not the head, posing a head and neck entrapment hazard.

The metal futon bunk beds have an upper bunk designed to hold a twin mattress. The bottom bunks have a convertible futon bed.

The recall involves metal futon bunk beds with model number BFB1008 located on a label on the upper bunk support rail. The recalled metal futon bunk beds were sold exclusively by Big Lots stores nationwide from January 2009 through April 2010 for about $200. They were sold unassembled, and were manufactured in China.

Consumers should immediately stop using these bunk beds and contact Big Lots for a free repair kit that contains new ladders and other parts that consumers can install at home.

For additional information, contact Big Lots toll-free at (866) 244-5687 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, e-mail the firm at talk2us@biglots.com or visit the firm’s website www.biglots.com

Only New, Safer Cribs will be Available for Consumer Purchase on June 28, 2011
CPSC votes to grant extension of time to comply with new rules to crib rental companies

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In less than two weeks, a new generation of safer cribs will be for sale in retail stores across the country. On June 28, 2011, anyone that manufactures or sells baby cribs will be required to meet new and improved crib safety standards approved by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on December 15, 2010.

Today, the Commission voted 4-0-1 to extend the length of time that short-term crib rental companies have to comply with the new mandatory standards for full-size and non-full-size baby cribs. This extension gives crib rental companies until December 28, 2012 to update their inventory with compliant cribs, which is the same deadline for the public accommodation facilities that these companies serve.

When the Commission approved the new rules in 2010, child care facilities, such as family child care homes and infant Head Start centers, and places of public accommodation, such as hotels and motels, were given until December 28, 2012 to have compliant cribs in their facilities.

Today’s vote by the Commission does not change the requirements on manufacturers or retailers of cribs. The Commission voted 3-2 today against granting an extension for retailers to comply with the new crib safety requirements. In turn, the Commission will continue to require companies that manufacture or sell cribs in the United States to comply with the new federal safety standards effective June 28, 2011.

Federal mandatory crib standards had not been updated in nearly 30 years and the new rule will usher in a safer generation of cribs. These mandatory standards will: 1) stop the manufacture and sale of dangerous, traditional drop-side cribs; 2) make mattress supports stronger; 3) improve slat strength, 4) make crib hardware more durable; and 5) make safety testing more rigorous.

The new safety standards aim to keep children safer in their cribs and prevent deaths resulting from detaching crib drop-sides and faulty or defective hardware.

These crib standards were mandated by the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). For more information on crib safety and safe sleep environments for baby, visit CPSC’s crib information center at: www.cpsc.gov/cribs

Safer Cribs for Babies Available Starting Today

Retailers required to sell only cribs that meet CPSC's new crib standards

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today marks the day that consumers will see a new generation of safer cribs for sale at local and national retail stores. Safer cribs will mean a safer sleep for babies across the country. On December 15, 2010, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) voted unanimously to approve new mandatory crib standards, establishing the most stringent crib safety standards in the world. Starting today, all importers, distributors, manufacturers, and retailers must offer only cribs that meet the CPSC's new and improved full-size and non-full-size crib standards.

Some of the new mandatory rules for cribs include: (1) stopping the manufacture and sale of dangerous, traditional drop-side cribs; (2) strengthening mattress supports and crib slats; (3) requiring crib hardware to be more durable; and (4) making safety testing more rigorous.

"A safe crib is the safest place for a baby to sleep. It is for this reason that I am so pleased that parents, grandparents and caregivers now can shop with confidence and purchase cribs that meet the most stringent crib standards in the world," said Chairman Inez Tenenbaum. "From the start, our goal has been to prevent deaths and injuries to babies in cribs, and now the day has come where only stronger and safer cribs are available for consumers to purchase."

CPSC has recalled more than 11 million dangerous cribs since 2007. Drop-side cribs with detaching side rails were associated with at least 32 infant suffocation and strangulation deaths since 2000. Additional deaths have occurred due to faulty or defective crib hardware.

The new standards aim to prevent these tragedies and keep children safer in their cribs.

Starting on December 28, 2012, child care facilities, including family child care homes and infant Head Start centers, as well as places of public accommodation, such as hotels and motels, and rental companies must use only cribs that comply with the new crib standards.

The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA) required the CPSC to update the old crib standards, which had not gone through a major revision in more than 30 years, to ensure that the standards provided the highest level of safety possible.
