Yahoo19-04-2025
(WJW) – More than 400 infant swings sold on Walmart's website were recalled on Friday because of a suffocation risk to babies, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission announced.
The COMEONROA-branded electric infant swings were marketed for babies to sleep in, but according to the CPSC, 'they have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees in violation of the Safe Sleep for Babies Act.'
Also, the recalled swings do not include the mandatory warnings needed for products that contain button cell and coin batteries, the CPSC said.

The blue space-themed swings have 'a black base with a touch-screen panel, a star and a moon hanging plush toys, a pillow, a seat cover and a mosquito net with canopy,' according to the recall.
A label under the seat reads 'Model No.: S-Y608' and 'Baby cradle swing.'
There have been no reported injuries related to this recall.

‘Like a giant whip': Cedar Point ride malfunction frightens parkgoers

SANDUSKY, Ohio (WJW) — What started as a fun Sunday night at Cedar Point quickly turned into a frightening experience for Ryan and his family. 'Me and my two daughters were next in line, standing directly below the drop towers,' Ryan said. 'I heard a twing type of sound—like tension being released—and then this giant cable came down. It was like slow motion.' VIDEO: Myles Garrett caught driving Ferrari at 100 mph on I-71 Ryan said a cable snapped on Cedar Point's Power Tower—an almost 300-foot-tall vertical drop attraction that towers over the middle of the park. 'I yelled, 'Oh my God!' It happened so fast. Then the cable hit the guard tower, and it sounded like the earth was coming to an end. That's when everyone started freaking out, scattering, and running,' he said. The park immediately evacuated riders and shut down the attraction. Thankfully, no one was hurt. 'That guard shack was 10 feet from us,' Ryan said. 'It was very close to being a bad situation.' According to Cedar Point, a single cable detached from one of the ride vehicles. A spokesperson said the ride's safety system worked as designed and all guests exited safely.

'That's scary—you think about what could happen to people on these rides,' parkgoer Katrina Rueberger said. 'It also makes you wonder how often they test the rides, inspections and things that need to be done.' The Ohio Department of Agriculture's Amusement Ride Safety Division said it is investigating the incident. 'ODA's Amusement Ride Safety Division and its inspectors have placed a Stop Operation Order on the ride and are working with Cedar Point and the ride's manufacturer to determine the cause of the incident. The Stop Operation Order will be released upon a complete reinspection of the ride,' the department said in a statement on Monday. The ride will remain closed until a complete reinspection is finished. Jury acquits Cleveland activists of extortion, intimidation 'It broke from the top.

Watch: Texas chicken named world's oldest at the age of 14

Aug. 12 (UPI) -- A Texas woman's pet chicken was officially named the oldest in the world by Guinness World Records at the age of 14 years and 69 days old. Little Elm resident Sonya Hull said she hatched the chicken, Pearl, in her personal incubator on March 13, 2011. Guinness World Records confirmed Pearl's age on May 22, officially earning her the title of world's oldest living chicken. "She's defied all odds because most Easter-Egger Hens live an average of five to eight years," Hull told Guinness World Records. She said Pearl's mobility is limited now, so she spends most of her time in the family's laundry room. "She is welcome to come out into the living room, because she likes to watch TV when she hears it on," Hull said. Pearl is also fond of the family's elderly cat and new kitten. "She doesn't seem to mind the other animals, and the kitten will sometimes sit with her," Hull said. Hull said Pearl's egg production has slowed, but she laid one right after the family found out she was an official Guinness World Record-holder. The previous oldest chicken living, an Illinois pet named Peanut, died Dec. 25, 2023, at the age of 21 years and 238 days old.

Walmart worker disturbed by foul odor coming from product shipments: 'I've never had to deal with anything like this before'

A foul-smelling shipment has left a bad taste in both a Walmart employee's and the internet's mouths. What's happening? A Reddit post in r/Walmart included a photo of eight cardboard boxes stacked on a pallet in the middle of the sales floor. But it wasn't the apparel inside that caught attention. The issue was the unmistakable stench clinging to everything. "These 8 BP boxes of apparel were on a truck with fertilizer, and now it all stinks," said the original poster. According to the post, the user was working a closing shift when they were asked to process a set of backroom boxes. The closer they got, the worse the smell became. "Every. Single. Item. Smells like mulch," they wrote. The employee said their coach later confirmed the boxes had likely shared a truck with mulch or fertilizer. Even worse, the worker and their teammates had to mark each item as contaminated, scanning UPCs one by one and submitting photos as proof. "I've never had to deal with anything like this before, and it was just before my lunch," they wrote. "Why would the DC put apparel on the same truck as fertilizer and mulch??" one commenter asked. Another answered: "Because it's cheaper to put everything on one full truck than to send two half full trucks." Why is textile waste concerning? Beyond the smell, the poor logistics and questionable hygiene practices caused a lot of the product to go to waste. Apparel exposed to industrial-grade mulch or fertilizer may not be safe to wear or sell, raising red flags for both customer health and product waste. Do you worry about having toxic forever chemicals in your home? Majorly Sometimes Not really I don't know enough about them Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. If contaminated clothing has to be discarded, the environmental cost is steep. Fast fashion already contributes to around 92 million tons of global textile waste each year. When poor shipping practices render new clothing unsellable, it accelerates waste, pollutes landfills, and throws resources like water, energy, and labor down the drain. Is Walmart doing anything about this? While Walmart did not address this issue directly, some commenters speculated that cost-cutting may be behind the decision to mix product types on a single truck. To its credit, Walmart has rolled out several sustainability efforts in recent years, including Project Gigaton, which aims to eliminate a billion metric tons of planet-warming pollution from its global value chain by 2030. However, incidents like this show how smaller, less publicized practices like shipping decisions can still undercut progress if not managed responsibly. What's being done about textile waste more broadly? Globally, brands and governments are starting to act. France has started to enact legislation that would ban fast fashion from being imported, and several companies have launched take-back or resale programs to keep textiles in circulation. Consumers can help too: buying less, choosing quality over quantity, and supporting retailers that offer clothing recycling options. Advocating for better transparency in shipping and handling practices can also push companies to improve how products are stored and delivered.
