WASHINGTON 鈥� The Food and Drug Administration is recalling a candy sold on QVC and online because it could be contaminated with hepatitis A.

Any Bauer’s Candies Chocolate or Caramel Modjeskas purchased after Nov. 14 should not be eaten and should be thrown away immediately. They are individually wrapped marshmallow candy dipped in chocolate or caramel.

A worker in the company’s Kentucky facility tested positive for hepatitis A. The FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have not received any reports of hepatitis A related to the consumption of the candies and say the risk of hepatitis A transmission from the candy is low.

The FDA is working with Bauer’s Candies on a voluntary recall of the affected products.

Consumers who ate the recalled candies should consult a doctor.

Hepatitis A is a contagious liver disease that stems from infection with the virus of that name. It’s usually spread when a person ingests fecal matter from an infected person, even if in microscopic amounts.

It may take anywhere between 15 to 50 days after exposure for an infected person to show symptoms, which include fever, headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine and pale stool.

Fired opinion writer still waiting for call from Washington Post after arbitrator ordered reinstatement, back pay

Several days after an arbitrator ordered the Washington Post to reinstate fired opinion writer Karen Attiah, she told 91欧美激情 she's still hasn't gotten a phone call about returning to work. "I'm waiting to hear from the Washington Post as of this morning," Attiah said. "I'm willing to go back to the work that I was doing as a columnist and as a writer particularly focused on race, gender and international rights." A Thursday ruling by arbitrator Sarah Miller Espinosa said the newspaper did not have sufficient cause to fire Attiah over social media posts about violent white men following last year's killing of Charlie Kirk, and ordered the Post to award Attiah full back pay and lost benefits. "So, the Washington Post has its marching orders, let's see if they follow them," said Attiah, who described her reaction to arbitrator's ruling as "vindicated, slightly tired, really happy about the decision and reinstatement, plus back pay, of course."
