The tests were ordered in the wake of a huge recall of Alaska canned salmon after a Belgian man died Feb 6, apparently after eating salmon from a can produced at the New England Fish Co -Fidalgo cannery in Ketchikan. Alaska "We re continuing with the recall," said Sue Hutchcroft, Seattle spokeswoman for the FDA The mice, injected Friday, were monitored for 72 hours. Hutchcroft said The deadline passed about 1 p m Monday She said recall would contin ue "because the salmon could be contaminated with other things The fish was decom posed " The mice were injected with a liquid extracted from tins of sal mon found in a Seattle ware house The cans were marked with the same code and were punctured the same way as the 7%-ounce tin blamed in the death of the Belgian The salmon recall possibly involves millions of cans and applies to all tins used at the Ketchikan cannery in 1980 and 1981 The distinguishing feature is a marking "KK13," “HK13,” "RK13," "CK13," or' MK13” on the top line of a two-line code stamped on lids of the cans Government bans popular insulation WASHINGTON The government Monday banned further installation of a popular foam insulation already used in a half-million American homes on grounds it poses the risk of cancer and other dangers to health The order to halt installation of urea formaldehyde foam in sulation will take effect 130 days after publication of a legal no tice in the Federal Register probably within a few weeks The Consumer Product Safe ty Commission s 4-1 vote made final a prohibition on the product proposed last year, which capped a CPSC staff in vestigation stretching back to the 1970s The vote came after the com mission staff repeated its recommendation to halt instal lation of the material, which Come and enjoy sporting events on our BIG SCREEN 3355 E.

Koop said in releasing the surgeon general s annual report on smoking and health Smoking will likely be the cause of 129.00 of 430,000 cancer-related deaths in the United States this year $13 bil lion worth of health care ex penses and more than $25 bil lion in lost production and wages each year, he said Edward Brandt the assistant secretary for health who con curred with Koop s assessment, said the possibility that non smokers may suffer ill effects from smoke is real if not proven and non-smokers should avoid being in smoke-filled rooms " Columbia prepares for major test CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
