A sticker under the white plastic base reads 'VIVITAR,' 'Description: Blender Bottle,' 'ITEM: ES15-BB-TA' and 'MID #5220824,' along with 'MID #5220824' on the underside of the white plastic base, per the recall notice.
No injuries have been reported, the commission said.

Top 10 Richest Team Purchases: Lakers Sell for Record $10 billion
The family-owned Los Angeles Lakers are about to be sold at a valuation of $10 billion, smashing the previous record for the purchase price for a team sport. The cross-country rival Boston Celtics went for $6.1 billion just three months ago. With team values soaring, there have been a number of notable franchise transactions in recent years: Los Angeles Lakers The Lakers have been in the Buss family since 1979, but Jeanie Buss has agreed to sell the NBA's most valuable franchise to L.A. Dodgers owner Mark Walter. Boston Celtics The Celtics, who won their record 18th NBA championship last year, went for $6.1 billion in March to private equity mogul Bill Chisholm. Washington Commanders Josh Harris, who with David Blitzer owns the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers and NHL's New Jersey Devils, added to his sports portfolio in 2023 by purchasing the Commanders for a then-record $6.05 billion. Chelsea The English Premier League team went to a consortium fronted by Dodgers part owner Todd Boehly that also includes Walter in 2022 for $3.2 billion. Another $2.2 billion was pledged for infrastructure and associated teams. Denver Broncos The Walton-Penner ownership group led by Walmart heir Rob Walton bought the NFL team in 2022 for $4.65 billion. Phoenix Suns Mortgage executive Mat Ishbia purchased the team for a then-NBA record $4 billion in 2022. Dallas Mavericks Mark Cuban sold the NBA franchise in 2023 for $3.5 billion to the Adelson family, which owns the Las Vegas Sands casino company. Charlotte Hornets Michael Jordan agreed to sell his majority share in the NBA's Hornets in 2023 for $3 billion to Rick Schnall and Gabe Plotkin. Schnall had a minority ownership in the NBA's Atlanta Hawks and Plotkin in the Hornets. New York Mets Steve Cohen completed one of the richest purchases of an MLB team in recent memory, acquiring the Mets for $2.4 billion in 2020. It marked a monumental shift for the Queens-based New York franchise as they had been under the control of the disgraced Wilpon family. Brooklyn Nets Joe Tsai purchased the Brooklyn Nets for approximately $2.5 billion in 2019. He paid a total of $3 billion, but that included acquiring the Barclays Center in the deal. He bought the team from previous owner Mikhail Prokorov. The Associated Press contributed to this report. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

EXCLUSIVE: Seed Health's New CEO Cathrin Bowtell Discusses Sprouts Launch and What's Next for the Microbiome Company
Seed Health is headed to Sprouts. Seed Health, known for its microbiome solutions, is now available in all 450 Sprouts doors across 24 states with its DS-01 Daily Synbiotic and DS-01 14 Day Gut Reset. Seed Health is also available at Target, where it is the number-one digestive health probiotic, and Erewhon. This retail news follows the appointment of Cathrin Bowtell, who previously was chief commercial officer and then president, as chief executive officer in April. Cofounders Ara Katz and Raja Dhir previously held the position. More from WWD Prince William Hands Chanel's Leena Nair Honor for Services to Retail and Consumer Sector EXCLUSIVE: Eos Transforms Blue Moon's Signature Orange Garnish Into a Lip Balm Urban Outfitters Debuts First Pride Vinyl Collection Made in Collaboration With Influential LGBTQIA+ Artists, Allies and Labels Sources close to the brand confirmed that Seed has exceeded $200 million in revenue. Additionally, the brand has grown its revenue by 500 percent over the last three years. According to Bowtell, the Sprouts expansion is the next step in the brand's accessibility story, as it has gone from a primarily direct-to-consumer membership business to an omnichannel brand since its 2016 launch. According to Bowtell, each channel expansion has provided 'pure incrementality' for the company. 'It's a milestone for us. If you think about the omnichannel strategy that we've been incubating over the last year and a half, we actually have our retail roots in natural grocery,' she said, noting the brand launched at Erewhon in 2021. Like Erewhon, Sprouts is a particular fit for the brand's offering and target consumer. 'It's a wonderful fit from a brand standpoint,' said Bowtell. 'It's fast-growing in the world of probiotics, but it's also attracting a consumer who's deeply health focused and accessibility focused.' So far, Seed's retail strategy has been crucial to better serve existing customers and reaching new ones, per search and performance data. 'When we launched on Amazon last year, we launched into that channel with about 30,000 searches a month for our product name without being on the platform. When we launched into Target in September, we quickly became one of the top 10 revenue producing stock keeping units in that set,' said Bowtell. She predicts they will see a similar outcome now at Sprouts. 'We will, of course, find consumers at Sprouts that are brand aware and that are attracted to our packaging and our display, but our hope is also that us launching there provides an opportunity for consumers who are non-brand aware to discover us for the first time and try us for the first time,' said Bowtell. 'We've seen the same thing happen across Target and Amazon.' To date, more than a million consumers have used the brand's innovations, which also include the VS-01 Vaginal Synbiotic, a microbiome-supporting suppository. Seed's entry into Sprouts is one piece of Bowtell's overall vision for the brand, as she recently stepped into the role of CEO. 'This leadership transition has been planned for some time. I've been on board for over two and a half years, and have been incubating and leading the omnichannel strategy since that time,' she said. 'What's nice about this transition is there isn't a big business strategy change. If anything, this transition helps us accelerate moving into that scale and that impact of the strategy that Ara, Raja and I all incubated together.' Over the years Seed has continuously experienced growth thanks in part to its clinically backed formulas, which are often recommended by physicians ultimately adding another discovery outlet for consumers, and to the ongoing conversation around gut health, which experts say isn't going anywhere. 'Gut health is connected to most biological systems in the human body, and via gut health, the consumer actually has so much agency power to impact their own health,' said Bowtell. 'The focus on gut health is correlated to consumers wanting agency over their own whole body, holistic health and they want it without other types of interventions.' While the gut health conversation has remained constant over the past several years, the digestive issues associated with GLP-1s have caused an even greater focus on the category recently. As Bowtell looks to the future, she recognizes the challenges in the market, including possible economic downturn, but Seed's success in recent months has shown that the business is resilient. 'Investments in people's health are incredibly important to the customers that we sell our products to,' she said. 'We continue to think about lots of different ways of making our products as accessible as possible. The Gut Reset product that we're also launching at Sprouts is a nice example of a way that Seed aims to make our products accessible, giving lots of different ways of getting started at a range of price points.' Additionally, McKinsey's latest Future of Wellness Report for 2025 showed that wellness is staying relatively resilient, as consumers were unlikely to find it to be a discretionary category. That being said, Bowtell also said given the challenges in the market, Seed's commitment to science with peer-reviewed clinical research will be more important than ever. 'Consumers are deeply educated today, and so the products that are going to resonate are going to be products that are highly efficacious,' she said, noting that there are new products on the horizon, though the company's offering will remain highly curated. 'Everything that Seed will put into the market will have to meet the same threshold of the products we have in market today, which is at the forefront of efficacy, at the forefront of clinical superiority, and always with a very unique microbiome angle to health.'

Trump extends TikTok sale deadline
The Big Story President Trump extended the deadline for TikTok's parent company to divest the popular video sharing app by 90 days. © Manuel Balce Ceneta, Associated Press The order punts the deadline for China-based ByteDance to Sept. 17. The most recent deadline was Thursday. 'I've just signed the Executive Order extending the Deadline for the TikTok closing for 90 days (September 17, 2025). Thank you for your attention to this matter!' Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, attaching a screenshot of the order. The order instructs the Department of Justice not to enforce the law or impose penalties related to it. 'We are grateful for President Trump's leadership and support in ensuring that TikTok continues to be available for more than 170 million American users and 7.5 million U.S. businesses that rely on the platform as we continue to work with Vice President Vance's Office,' TikTok said in a statement following Thursday's order. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed earlier this week Trump planned to sign another extension, telling reporters the president 'does not want TikTok to go dark.' 'This extension will last 90 days, which the Administration will spend working to ensure this deal is closed so that the American people can continue to use TikTok with the assurance that their data is safe and secure,' Leavitt said in a statement Tuesday. When asked Monday whether he would give the popular video-sharing platform another extension, the president told reporters aboard Air Force One, 'Probably, yeah.' 'Probably have to get China['s] approval, but I think we'll get it,' Trump said as he traveled back from the Group of Seven summit in Canada. 'I think President Xi [Jinping] will ultimately approve it.' The order marks the third extension from Trump since he took office in January.

President Trump is urging House lawmakers to pass stablecoin legislation that cleared the Senate earlier this week without any major additions — a demand that may clash with hopes of tying two key crypto bills together. 'The Senate just passed an incredible Bill that is going to make America the UNDISPUTED Leader in Digital Assets — Nobody will do it better, it is pure GENIUS!' Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social of the GENIUS Act. 'Digital Assets are the future, and our Nation is going to own it,' he continued. 'We are talking about MASSIVE Investment, and Big Innovation. The House will hopefully move LIGHTNING FAST, and pass a 'clean' GENIUS Act.' The Senate voted 68-30 Tuesday to pass the GENIUS Act Tuesday, with 18 Democrats joining most Republicans to get the stablecoin bill across the finish line. It marked a milestone moment for the crypto industry as the first major digital asset legislation to clear the chamber. 'Get it to my desk, ASAP — NO DELAYS, NO ADD ONS,' Trump added. 'This is American Brilliance at its best, and we are going to show the World how to WIN with Digital Assets like never before!' After embracing the industry on the campaign trail, Trump has made crypto legislation a priority for his administration, pushing to pass two crypto bills before Congress leaves for its August recess. In addition to the stablecoin bill, the White House and GOP lawmakers are trying to pass legislation that would divvy up oversight of the rest of the digital asset market between two financial regulators. While Trump pushes lawmakers to get a 'clean' GENIUS Act to his desk as fast as possible, some in the industry and Congress have voiced support for tying the two crypto bills together to ensure they don't lose momentum before getting to market structure. However, others are pushing to take the win on stablecoin legislation and tackle market structure legislation afterward.
