Leave a Comment

HondaOdyssey(NY Times)

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating owner complaints of unexpected braking and whether there should be a recall of almost 344,000 Honda Odyssey minivans from the 2007-8 model years. The complaints are similar to those that resulted in the recall of about 183,000 different Honda and Acura models in March.

O-U Presents Top Consumer Questions Received for the Summer

Leave a Comment

summerdrink(O-U) Please check with your own LOR for psak on these questions:

OU Kosher presents frequently asked questions to-date on the OU Kosher Hotline (212-613-8241) by consumers received for the summer. Questions may also be submitted to kosherq@ou.org.

1.    Q: Can one eat in an ice cream or yogurt store product that has been scooped from a container that bears O-U certification?

A: In some instances, the OU certifies an entire store. In such cases, the OU letter of certification will state that a particular store located in a specific location is under OU supervision. Obviously, one can eat everything in a certified store. However, it is often the case that the OU certifies a brand name ice cream or yogurt, but the OU does not certify the store that sells the product, even though the store has the same brand name as the product. In this latter instance, the OU only certifies sealed containers bearing the OU symbol. Once the container is opened, the OU no longer vouches for the kosher integrity of the item, as the scoop may have been previously used for non-certified flavors.

2.    Q: Can I drink coffee at a non-certified restaurant?

City Council members have expressed disappointment in the Cleveland Heights-University Heights school board’s failure to finalize a lease agreement with Orthodox Jewish day school Mosdos Ohr Hatorah for the former Millikin School property, nearly a year after a non-binding proposal was approved.

Mosdos has long eyed the 46,555-square-foot Millikin building at 1700 Crest Road, which closed in 2006 as an early childhood center.

They’ll be here from Wednesday through Sunday, long enough to provide a glimpse of the type of ships that once helped defend this nation during the War of 1812.
