Tainted Trader Joe's Frozen Chicken Dinner Recalled

The frozen dinners are thought to have been sold in Silver Spring, Rockville, Bethesda and Gaithersburg, among other locations along the East Coast.

  The U.S. Department of Agriculture is assisting Canada's food inspection agency with the recall of nearly 5,000 pounds of possibly tainted chicken sold in frozen chicken and rice dinners at Trader Joe's groceries.

Rockville Police Pull Cruisers for Steering Inspections

Chief Treschuk: The move affects 24 Ford Crown Victorias. All appear to be OK.

Rockville police followed the lead of Montgomery County police last week and pulled the department’s 24 Ford Crown Victoria cruisers from service after two county police cruisers experienced steering problems, Rockville City Police Chief Terrance N. Treschuk said. “As soon as we heard from the county about the issue, we immediately recalled them all, and had the city mechanics check on the steering components,” Treschuk said in an email. “So far all of them that have been checked did not have any issues.

County Police Cruisers Being Pulled Off Street

Steering failure on two Crown Victorias prompts Montgomery County police's most massive maintenance operation.

Nearly a third of Montgomery County’s police cruisers are being pulled off the road in an unprecedented inspect-and-repair operation that has caught the attention of national safety inspectors.

Cruiser recalls are not uncommon, said Lt. Darren Francke, but they typically involve non-safety issues that are handled via the dealership. Never in Francke’s 16 years on the force has the department had to launch its own 24-7 operation to inspect and repair so many cars. “This is uncharted territory. The total loss of steering was such a critical issue that …
