Bounty Action Reward Laws Offer Large Financial Incentives to Investors and Financial Professionals Who Properly Expose Significant Securities Fraud

The Federal Government has enacted new Bounty Action Whistleblower Reward laws that offer large financial rewards to individuals and businesses that properly expose securities fraud and other forms of investment fraud.  These new Bounty Action Whistleblower Reward laws allow professionals to expose fraud through an attorney while protecting their identity and seeking a financial reward.  These laws are first to file laws and require original information or specialized information, but do offer large financial rewards to the first whistleblower that properly exposes the fraud and corruption. The first step for many professionals that want to expose fraud and corruption is to have a lawyer confidentially review their potential case and provide advice as to which laws may apply and the strength of their potential case.    For more information on Securities Fraud, please go to the following web page: SEC Bounty Action Lawyer Confidentially Reviews Securities & Commodities Fraud Whistleblower Reward Bounty Actions.

Families Often Lose Significant Amounts of Wealth When A Loved One Die

There is a significant amount of unclaimed assets and family wealth that is lost every year.  In the State of Texas alone billions of dollars in bank accounts, oil royalties, insurance money, safety deposit box contents, stocks, retirement funds, real estate, and other wealth is forgotten about, becomes lost, or is unclaimed.  This unclaimed property often occurs when someone unexpectedly dies or becomes incompetent.  When this person is the head of a household or controls a family's wealth, records can often be lost and assets can often go unclaimed.  This loss of wealth is more common when families do not live close to each other and/or do not communicated about financial issues.  Much of this lost or unclaimed wealth is collected by the states and held for rightful owners including heirs and beneficiaries.  However, it is not uncommon for large corporations including oil companies, insurance companies, brokers, financial advisers, and banks to keep unclaimed assets.

Button Battery Health Alert: Button Batteries in Toys and Other Products Can Create a Significant Health Risk to Infants and Small Children

Button Battery Health Alert: Button Batteries in Toys and Other Products Can Cause Significant Injuries to Infants and Young Children by Texas Button Battery Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Parents and other caretakers of young children should be aware of that button batteries in toys and other products used by or around small children can create a significant health danger.  This danger is especially true if the product has an easily accessible battery compartment.  Several infants and small children swallow these button batteries each year causing serious injury or death.  For more information on this topic, please go to the following web page: Button Battery Health Risk: Defective Toy Button Battery Lawyer.

Button Batteries Are Used In Several Types of Products

Button batteries are being used as a power source in many products.  The small size and relatively inexpensive cost of these batteries make them extremely popular in toys and a variety of products used around small children.  However, when these batteries are used in products with easily accessible battery compartments, the products can create an increased health risk to infants and young children.  These defective toys, defective baby monitors, and other defective products allow the button batteries to be easily taken out of the battery compartment then swallowed by infants and young children.  Once an infant or young child ingests or inserts one or more button batteries into them, it can case significant injuries or even death.

Dangerous and Defective Products Including Defective Toys, Defective Baby Monitors, Defective Flashlights, Defective Cribs, and Defective Car Seats That Are Unreasonably Dangerous to Small Children Should be Reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

Dangerous and defective products including dangerous button battery toys, defective cribs, defective button battery children's products, and defective car seats should be properly reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.  Additionally, product recalls are listed on the Consumer Product Safety Commission's website and can be a useful resource in ensuring that your home or business is safe for young children.  It is also important to check the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to make sure that the toys, car seats, food, and cribs that you are buying are safe and have no known safety defects.
