RECALL: Ferrero Kinder® Happy Moments Chocolate Assortment, Kinder® Mix Chocolate Treats Basket
Ferrero U.S.A., Inc. of Parsippany, New Jersey on April 7 announced a voluntarily recall of Kinder ® Happy Moments Chocolate Assortment and Kinder ® Mix Chocolate Treats basket, because the product may be contaminated with Salmonella Typhimurium.
Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
The voluntary recall is for two products in the U.S.:
| Product | Kinder Happy Moments Milk Chocolate and Crispy Wafers Assortment | Kinder Mix Chocolate Treats Basket |
|---|---|---|
| Size and Package Type | 14.1 OZ (400g) square box with lid | 5.3 OZ (152g) cardboard basket |
| Best By Date and location | July 18, 2022 (back panel) | July 30, 2022 (bottom of package) |
| Lot Codes and location | 48RUP334; 48RUP335; 48RUP 336; 48RUP337 (back panel) | 03L 018AR – 306 (bottom of package) |
| UPC Code and location | 09800 52025 (right side panel) | 09800 60209 (bottom of package) |
| Retail Locations | Costco in the Bay Area and Northern Nevada and BJ’s Wholesale Club stores | 14 Big Y Supermarket locations in Connecticut and Massachusetts |
The products are being recalled because they were manufactured in a facility where Salmonella typhimurium was detected. While there are no reports of illness in the United States to date, Ferrero is voluntarily recalling the products out of an abundance of caution due to reported cases of Salmonella in consumers that consumed products in Europe that were manufactured at the same facility.
No other Kinder products produced for the U.S. market are included in this recall.
Consumers who have purchased the affected product should not eat the product and may contact the Ferrero customer service line Monday – Friday 9am-6pm EST at 1-800-688-3552 or via https://www.ferreronorthamerica.com/contact-US-residentsExternal Link Disclaimer for product refund.
Ferrero deeply regrets this situation. We take food safety extremely seriously and every step we have taken has been guided by our commitment to consumer care. We will continue to work cooperatively with the Food and Drug Administration to address this matter.
Sulphur Springs Man Jail On A Felony Drunk Driving Charge
A 56-year-old Sulphur Springs man was jailed Friday night on a felony dunk driving charge, according to arrest reports.
A state trooper stopped Jerry Wayne Green at 8:32 p.m. April 8, 2022, on State Highway 19 for a minor traffic infraction. Upon contact, the highway patrol reported seeing an open alcohol container near the center console in the Dodge 3500 and smelled a strong alcohol odor coming from him. Green reportedly had red, glassy bloodshot eyes and was unsteady on his feet outside the pickup, the Texas Department of Public Safety officer alleged in arrest reports.
The man allegedly exhibited all six possible clues of intoxication during horizontal gaze nystagmus testing and tested 0.088 g/210L and 0.091 g/210L on breath tests, both just over the legal 0.08 limit, according to arrest reports.
A records check of Green’s criminal history showed two prior DWI convictions. Jail records show Green was arrested in Hopkins County in August of 1996 and October of 2000 on DWI charges. Consequently, Green was taken into custody at 9:09 p.m. Friday and transported to jail for third or more DWI offense. He remained in Hopkins County jail Saturday, April 9, 2022, in lieu of $10,000 bond on the charge, according to jail reports.

Renovations Work Begins At Kids Kingdom
A crew from S&S makes repairs at Kids Kingdom Saturday morning, the first step in restoring the children’s playground.
The Sulphur Springs Leadership Class has selected to rehab Mary Bonham’s Kids Kingdom in Buford Park. And just like when it was constructed 25 years ago, the community is invited to help Friday and Saturday, April 22-23. Class members and volunteers will re-stain all the wood and spread mulch during the two work days.
Church and civic groups, as well as individuals, are encouraged to help with the project. To sign up to help, go to https://forms.monday.com/forms/bcbe10e346b300167c125ad23b7dd17c?r=use1 or contact the Chamber at 903-885-6515 or [email protected] .
The Adult Leadership Class is also planning to replace and/or repair the equipment, such as the handicap swing, chains, swings, tires, etc. for the playground, restore the ground mulch and install lighting for safety and security.
In readiness for the April 22-23 work days, the S&S crew began work on Kids Kingdom Saturday morning, April 9, 2022, making repairs to the wooden equipment, sawing, cutting replacing, securing piece in place and other renovations.
The playground is also slated to be professionally power-washed before that weekend to prepare for the staining.
High Speed Chase Through Hopkins And Wood Counties Concludes With Crash
A high speed chase through Hopkins and Wood Counties concluded with a crash, according to arrest reports.
Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Elijah Fite reported turning around April 4, 2022, to see if a vehicle with a broken back window had been abandoned on County Road 1196 west or if there were occupants that might need assistance.
The black Volkswagen Jetta began moving, traveling west on CR 1196 west when Fite attempted to stop him at 3:18 p.m. Tuesday. When the car began moving at rates of speed above the posted limit for the county road, the deputy activated both lights and the siren on his patrol vehicle to try to get the driver to stop. When the driver continued on, Fite notified dispatch and other officers via police radio that he was in pursuit of the car, the deputy noted in arrest reports.
The pursuit continued heading east on CR 1196 west, then turned south onto Wood County Road 1730, reaching speeds of about 80 miles per hour. As the pursuit approached the intersection of County Road 1730 and County Road 1726 in Wood County, the driver attempted to turn the VW east onto CR 1726. Unfortunately, Fite noted in arrest reports, the car was unsuccessful in making the turn at that speed, causing the car to go through a CR 1730 fence, then struck a tree.
Fite and other deputies, who’d responded to assist in the pursuit and included Deputy Justin Wilkerson, were able to remove the driver and sole occupant from the car. He was identified in arrest reports as 18-year-old Dalton Shane Dakota Wallace of Yantis. The deputy claimed that Wallace’s direct action evading detention by law enforcement caused what appeared to him to clearly be greater than $2,500 worth but less than $30,000 worth of damage to one of the patrol units.
EMS personnel soon arrived on scene and transported Wallace by ambulance to CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital in Sulphur Springs, with Fite following close behind. Texas Department of Public Safety troopers conducted the crash investigation, then had the car impounded by an on-call wrecker service.
When Wallace was released from the hospital after being treated for minor injuries (his jail photo showed cuts on his nose and forehead), deputies transported him to the county jail, where he was booked in at 6:48 p.m. April 5, 2022, on a third-degree felony evading arrest or detention with a vehicle charge and a felony criminal mischief charge (for damages to the patrol unit). The 18-year-old Yantis man was released from the county jail Wednesday, April 6, 2022, on a $10,000 bond on the evading charge and $5,000 on the criminal mischief charge, according to jail reports.

Woman Found In Possession Of Six Fake ID Cards, Suspected Ecstasy, Firearm
Cumby Police Officer Justin Talley found a woman he stopped late Thursday night to be in possession of six fake ID cards from 5 others states, suspected Ecstasy and a firearm, and took her into custody on five different charges, according to arrest reports.
Talley reported initiating a traffic stop on a white Hyundai Sonata at 9:39 p.m. April 7, 2022, for traveling 86 in a 75 mile per hour speed zone and traveling in the left lane and not passing another vehicle on Interstate 30 east. The car stopped near mile marker 114. When approached and asked for ID, she attempted to to use a false Florida ID card to identify herself, but the picture on it was obviously not the woman who handed it to him, then verbally gave a date of birth that didn’t match the ID card either, Talley alleged in arrest reports.
Talley said he smelled what he believed to be a marijuana odor in the car with New Jersey license plates and had the woman step out so he could conduct a probable cause search. The Cumby policeman didn’t note recovery of any marijuana, but did report finding six additional ID cards from Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and two from Colorado, in addition to a New York driver’s license with information Talley believed to correctly identify the woman as 43-year-old Latira Jackson. She was placed into custody at 10:28 p.m. Thursday. The officer completed his search, finding a handgun in the trunk of the car. The woman identified as Jackson told Talley she had falsified her identity because she is wanted by on a charge out of Nassau County Sheriff’s Office, the officer alleged in arrest reports.
She was transported to Hopkins County jail, where Talley said she denied having anything illegal on her before entering the jail. She also allegedly told the jailer she was released to for processing and dressing out that she didn’t have anything illegal on her. The jailer, however, reported finding a zip top bag containing what officials suspected to be Ecstasy in her back pocket. The substance weighed 0.72 grams, Talley noted in arrest reports.
Consequently, Jackson was booked into Hopkins County jail early Friday morning, April 8, 2022, on charges of fraudulent use or possession of identifying information (the six fake ID cards), unlawful carrying of a weapon (the 9mm pistol), prohibited substance in a correctional facility and possession of less than 1 gram of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance (the suspected Ecstasy found in her pocket), and failure to identify by giving false information (again the fake ID cards and date of birth). No out-of-town warrant was noted in her charges Friday afternoon.
Jail reports show Jackson to also be known by the aliases Sherry Guo, Sherry Watson, Lateisha R. Jackson and Kaneca Tonya Snell, and although she was identified using a New York driver’s license with her picture on it, listed a Plano address as her current residence. The 43-year-old remained in Hopkins County jail Friday afternoon, April 8, 2022. Jackson’s bonds totaled $49,000: $20,000 each on the fraud and prohibited substance charges, at $5,000 on the possession charge, and at $2,000 each on the weapon and false ID charges, jail records reflect.

A Refresher On the ‘Move Over, Slow Down’ Law
Did You Know The Law Applies To TxDOT, Towing And Certain Utility Vehicles In Addition To Police And First Responder Vehicles?
With the number of people killed in crashes in work zone increasing by 33% in 2021, motorists are reminded how vital it is to move over and slow down when they see first responders and other emergency response vehicles with lights active on Texas roadways.
Inattentive diving can be especially dangerous in a work zone or an area where highway construction or repairs are in progress
Last year, 244 people lost their lives in work zones. Of those killed, there were 195 vehicle occupants (drivers or passengers), 38 pedestrians, four bicyclists and three roadside construction workers. And, acording to Texas Department of Transportation, speeding and driver inattention were among the leading causes of the crashes.
According to TxDOT, last year was a 40-year high as far as the number of people killed on Texas roadways.
Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Gregg Williams, Texas Highway Patrol Media Communications and Safety Education Officer for the Texarkana/ Mt. Pleasant Region, noted that more than 1,300 tickets and warnings were issued in the North Texas DPS Region last year and 12,708 violations issued state-wide last year.
Sgt. Williams recently visited KSST’s Morning Show to remind motorists the necessity for everyone to do their part to make things safer while traveling along the many highways and roads in Texas. With more people out during warmer months, that means more motorists, pedestrians, construction workers and bicyclists out on and along roadways, making it that much more necessary for people to drive cautiously, watching out for others.
Adhering to the Move Over, Slow Down law, Section 545.157 of Texas Transportation Code passed in 2003, is one big way to do that.
Essentially, that means motorists traveling in Texas are required to either vacate the lane closest to the vehicle on a highway with two or more lanes when traveling in the direction of the stationary emergency vehicle.
Most know that Move Over, Slow Down law requires motorists to move over for first responder or emergency response vehicles which include ambulances, police and other law enforcement and fire department apparatus. However, the law has been expanded since it’s inception, to include more vehicles motorists must move over and/or slow down for, including utility service vehicles, highway construction and maintenance vehicles.
“Throughout the years they have seen a need to add more vehicles to that list. It first started with just a first responder – whether it was ambulance or police vehicle or fire truck or apparatus. Then they saw the need to actually expand that. Now, the tow truck drivers are actually part of that list,” Williams said. “Here recently they have actually included Texas Department of Transportation – which, as you can imagine, they are on the road probably more than we are.”
In instances where there is not another lane available to move over into, and no officer available to direct passing traffic away from the location, motorists then are required to slow to a speed not to exceed 20 miles per hour less than the posted speed limit when the posted speed limit is 25 miles per hour or more. On roads where the speed limit is less than 25 mph, motorists are required to reduce speed to no more than 5 miles per hours where a traffic control channelizing device is used. (A traffic control channelizing device is defined in the transportation code as equipment used to warn and alert drivers of conditions created by work activities in or near the traveled roadway, to protect workers in a temporary traffic control zone, and to guide drivers and pedestrians safely through the area. It may also include traffic cones, tubular marker, vertical panel, barricade, temporary raised island, concrete or cable barrier, guardrail or channelizer.
The penalties for not following the Move Over, Slow Down law include a misdemeanor fine of up to $200, misdemeanor fine of $500 if there’s property damage, Class B misdemeanor charge if the violation results in bodily injury, the DOT. Traffic fines double in work zones when workers are present and can cost up to $2,000. Failure to heed the Move Over, Slow Down law also can result in a fine up to $2,000, TxDOT officials noted.
“We encourage everybody on regular safe driving habits. Check your cars, check your vehicles. Make sure, of course, you buckle your seat belt,” Williams said.
Local Authorities Seek Information In Vehicle Burglaries In Church Parking Lots
Local authorities are seeking information about vehicles burglaries in church parking lots that occurred Wednesday night.
Sulphur Springs received a report at 8:20 p.m. Wednesday of vehicle burglaries at a Texas Street church parking lot. A pickup door was damaged and a window reportedly shattered. A phone and purse were reportedly taken from inside, according to police reports.
Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office is also investigating burglary of at least three vehicles in church parking lots in the Sulphur Springs area Wednesday night, April 6, 2022, while the occupants attended church services and activities. Two suspects allegedly tried to use stolen credit/debit cards at Wal-Mart; they are reported to have been in a burgundy Ford Escape.
The still images (above and below) were taken from surveillance video of the pair who allegedly tried to use the cards at two stores. One image shows a male wearing a red cap with white lettering, white t-shirt under a black shirt with white stripes on the sleeve, and blue jeans. A second image shows a thin individual with the same hat and shirts, light colored blue jeans that have rips down the front and wearing a dark colored mask covering his nose but not his mouth. Two additional images show a individual whose face is partially obscured by a black cloth or mask, and who was wearing a dark blue or black hoody zipped up and pulled over his head and what appear to be dark colored jeans. The final image shows a vehicle in a parking lot.
Anyone who has information about the suspects or the vehicle burglaries at local churches Wednesday is asked to contact Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office Texas (903-885-438-4040) or Lake Country Crime Stoppers (903-885-2020).
