Mice survive
botulism test
SEATTLE
Four laboratory mice survived
injections with liquid from
damaged cans of Alaska sal
mon, showing no signs of bo
tulism poisoning
But federal officials cautioned
against drawing too strong a
conclusion from the tests
Ellen Miller, regional con
sumer affairs specialist for the
Food and Drug Administration,
said the mice passed a 72-hour
deadline Monday apparently
with no ill effects
‘They're as rosy as can be."
she said This means the
agency is "pretty sure" there
wasn't any botulism toxin
developed in the two defective
cans found in Seattle
But, she said, ‘‘it simply
means we re okay on those two
cans."
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

emits formaldehyde gasses that
can create skin irritation and
breathing problems and are a
possible cause of cancer
Commissioner Stuart Statler
cast the only negative vote
Statler did not deny the insula
tion posed some hazard — he
said he would not put it in his
own home — but he maintained
it was possible to set govern
ment standards that would pro
tect consumers
Chairman Nancy Steorts — a
Reagan administration
appointee who has repeatedly
said she favors voluntary pro
grams to protect consumers —
said that in this case no stan
dard, voluntary or mandatory,
could protect homeowners
“I wanted to find a voluntary
solution,” she said "But, un
fortunately, I have concluded
there is no voluntary solution to
this problem "
Surgeon general
criticizes smoking
WASHINGTON
Surgeon General C Everett
Koop said Monday that cigar
ette smoking causes 30 percent
of all cancer deaths in the Unit
ed States and even non
smokers should treat it as a
public health potential hazard
“Cigarette smoking is clearly
identified as the chief preventa
ble cause of death in our socie
ty.' 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 "
