a popular high chair is being recalled. "evenflo" says, the tray on its convertible high chair can detach unexpectedly, and a child can fall out. eight children have already fallen, but no one was seriously injured. 35 thousand of the chairs have been sold since december at walmart and toys-r-us. if you own one of them evenflo will replace the defective tray for free. just call them, or visit the website: safety.evenflo.com after beating breast cancer, singer sheryl crow is facing another health scare. crow recently revealed that a doctor found a benign tumor in her brain. she says she went to see a

doctor back in november, after noticing significant memory loss. just last month crow forgot the words to her hit song 'soak up the sun' while on stage. she has told her fans - despite the tumor... she is happy and healthy. in medical watch.. drug resistant strains of one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases are spreading worldwide. a "superbug" gonorrhea resistant to all recommended antibiotics, was identified in japan last year. now, the world health organization says drug resistant gonorrhea has been reported in many more countries.. including australia, france, norway, sweden and britain. experts warn an infection once easily treatable could become a global health threat. the morning after pill is taken to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. but new scientific evidence shows the pill doesn't work the way many people think it does. labels on the package say the pills block fertilized eggs from implanting in a woman's uterus. such descriptions have sparked controversy with religious

groups and conservative politicians claiming the pills cause abortion. but in a new report, science experts say the pill does not stop implantation but only delays ovulation. for years, doctors have advised taking an aspirin a day to prevent heart disease. but new research suggests taking aspirin increases the risk of major bleeding. italian researchers studied nearly 400-thousand hospitalized patients. they found daily use of low- dose aspirin increased the risk of major stomach or brain bleeding by 55-percent. researchers say doctors need to carefully consider the patient's heart risks before prescribing aspirin. a blood test may one day help find out whether breast cancer is spreading more quickly than doctors once believed. a new study found one in four early-stage breast cancer patients whose tumors had apparently not spread beyond the breast or lymph nodes already had cancer cells circulating in their blood. these rare circulating tumor

cells are thought to be cancer "seeds" that can take root elsewhere in the body. the study may help explain why about 25 percent of patients whose cancer is found early will see it return.. even after successful surgery to remove their tumors. lunchbreak is next. we are heading outside to make some woodfired pizzas.
