Third of sunglasses sold online pose risk to children's eyesight – Which?
A third of children's sunglasses bought from online marketplaces including Amazon, AliExpress, Ebay and Temu do not provide the required protection and are unsafe, according to a Which? investigation. Which? researchers bought 20 pairs of children's sunglasses from online marketplaces, finding UV protection levels were 'dangerously low' for two of them, despite claims they offered full protection. Some offered significantly different protection from one lens to the other. Several models including Cute Cat Kids' Sunglasses UV Protection (£1.59 from Amazon), Classic Vintage Holiday Sunglasses UV400 (£3.99 on eBay), Kids' Aviators (£1.16 from AliExpress), Kids £1 Sunglasses (from Temu) and red heart-shaped sunglasses (£5.28 from eBay) all made either misleading claims about their ability to block UV rays or had inconsistent UV filtering. All of the sunglasses tested were found to be missing key information, labels and markings, such as CE or UK Conformity Assessed markings (UKCA), which are required for them to be sold in the UK legally. As a result, none of the 20 pairs of sunglasses bought from online marketplaces could be sold legally in the UK, Which? said. Which? director of policy and advocacy Rocio Concha said: 'With summer holidays approaching, it is understandable that parents will want to buy their children sunglasses, and kids and parents alike might be tempted by some of the cheap and trendy options sold online. 'Our research shows many of these models are so ineffective as to be dangerous for children to wear and this is a consequence of online marketplaces having no real responsibility or incentive for taking safety seriously. 'The Government's Product Regulation and Metrology Bill must be strengthened to include legal responsibilities for online marketplaces to ensure the products they sell on their sites are safe, with heavy fines for those that fall short of the required standards.' An Amazon spokesman said: 'Safety is a top priority, and we require all products offered in our store to comply with applicable laws, regulations and Amazon policies. 'We continuously monitor our store and take action to maintain a safe selection for our customers, including removing non-compliant products and reaching out to sellers, manufacturers, and government agencies for additional information. 'The products in question have been removed. AliExpress also said it had removed the items that failed Which?'s tests, adding: 'AliExpress takes product safety very seriously and we have strict rules and policies in place to ensure a safe online shopping environment.' A spokeswoman for eBay said: 'Consumer safety is a top priority. We proactively keep our site safe and prevent prohibited listings through seller compliance audits, block filter algorithms for unsafe listings, and AI-supported monitoring by our team of in-house specialists. 'If we find an unsafe product, we remove it immediately and alert buyers, which is the exact approach we took on April 4 2025, before Which? contacted us.' Temu said: 'We take product safety very seriously. All three flagged listings have been removed from the platform pending further review.' TikTok said: 'The safety of our customers is of our utmost priority, and we have strict measures in place to ensure that our sellers comply with regulations and safety standards. 'These listings have been removed from our platform.' Shein said: 'We take product safety very seriously and are committed to offering safe and reliable products to its customers. We immediately removed the items from our site as a precaution while we investigate.' Sign in to access your portfolio

Shooting at Salt Lake City protest leaves 'innocent bystander' dead, police say
The Brief A shooting at a No Kings Day protest in Salt Lake City left one person dead. The shooting happened as some 10,000 people were marching against President Trump's policies downtown. The march was one of thousands of No Kings Day rallies taking place across the country. Police in Salt Lake City are investigating a shooting during their "No Kings Day" march downtown that left an "innocent bystander" dead. An estimated 10,000 people were marching when the shooting occurred. The gunshots sent protesters running into churches, restaurants and parking garages for shelter. What we know Police Chief Brian Redd said gunshots rang out shortly before 8 p.m. When officers arrived, they found one person shot on the ground. The person who was shot, a 39-year-old man, was taken to a hospital in critical condition Saturday, but that person later died, police said Sunday. Police said marchers pointed out a 24-year-old man who was hiding in the crowd with a gunshot wound. The man, 24-year-old Arturo Gamboa, had an AR-15 style rifle, a gas mask and a backpack. He was detained, treated for his gunshot wound and booked into jail on murder charges, police said. Two other people in neon vests, "possibly part of the event's peace-keeping team," were also detained. Police said the men saw Gamboa separate from the crowd at one point during the march and pull out the rifle. As the two men confronted Gamboa, he raised the weapon, prompting one of the two men to fire three shots. One of those shots hit Gamboa, and one of them "tragically" hit the person who later died. Gamboa did not fire any shots, police said. "Our victim was not the intended target, but rather an innocent bystander participating in the demonstration,' Redd said. What we don't know The motive and other details of the shooting have not yet been released. Redd said it was too early to tell if the shooting was politically motivated. What they're saying Redd said the shooting ruined what was otherwise a peaceful protest. "The event organizers worked closely with us at the Salt Lake City Department, Salt Lake here at Salt Lake City, and up until the point of the shooting, there was no indication of any problems," he said. Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall described the violence as "horrific, and it is not who we are."

The driver was charged with reckless driving.

Car Belonging to Suspect in Minnesota Lawmakers Tragedy Discovered More Than 50 Miles from Where Shootings Occurred: Reports
A car belonging to Vance Boelter, the man suspected of shooting two Minnesota lawmakers this weekend, has been found more than 50 miles away from where the shootings took place, according to multiple reports An emergency alert went out to residents of Sibley County about the vehicle discovery on June 15 'The whole situation is unfortunate," one area resident told the Minnesota Star TribuneA car allegedly belonging to Vance Boelter, the man suspected of shooting two Democratic lawmakers and their spouses over the weekend, has reportedly been discovered a day later and more than 50 miles away from where the tragedy took place in Minnesota. On Sunday, June 15, an emergency alert went out to residents of Sibley County, stating that authorities found the vehicle near Minnesota Highway 25 and 301st Avenue in Faxon Township. The notice also said that the suspect was "not located," according to screenshots shared by ABC affiliate KSTP, the Minnesota Star Tribune and CNN. 'Keep your doors locked and vehicles secured. Report suspicious activity to 911,' the alert read, per the outlets. 'Law enforcement will be going to area residences to ask to search properties.' The Sibley County Sheriff's Office, which verified the alert to CNN, did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for additional information on June 15. A discarded cowboy hat was also found at the scene, according to CBS News, which shared an image of the item. Area resident Mike Liebhard said he spotted the cowboy hat lying on the gravel road near the intersection while speaking with the Star Tribune. He described the vehicle itself as an 'older little car, like a Buick.' Officers were seen searching around the car at 1:40 p.m. local time, per the Star Tribune. 'It's just unfortunate,' Liebhard said. 'The whole situation is unfortunate.' Officials previously announced that Boelter was last seen "wearing a light-colored cowboy hat with a dark-colored long-sleeve collared shirt or coat, light pants, and carrying a dark bag.' As of July 2024, Sibley County had a population of 15,194 people. A law enforcement source told CBS News that the suspect has a known address in Sibley County, but was most recently living in north Minneapolis. On the early hours of Saturday, June 14, state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark Hortman were killed in an attack at their home, while Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette Hoffman both survived a separate shooting. Brooklyn Park Police Department Chief Mark Bruley revealed later in the day that the suspect was "absolutely impersonating a police officer" and fled "on foot" before authorities discovered a "manifesto" inside a vehicle. The FBI is currently offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the Brooklyn Park Police Department are being assisted by the FBI's Minneapolis Field Office in the search for Boelter. Sibley County resident Jennifer Brown told Fox affiliate KMSP that the latest development in the case was "nerve-racking" and that she wouldn't be opening her "doors to anyone who doesn't look like they belong in the neighborhood." "We don't know him, for sure," she said. "He's not around this neighborhood, so we don't know who he is." Read the original article on People
