Ritz cracker products recalled from Walmart, Target and other stores nationwide
The problem described in Mondelēz Global's recall notice sounds like a simple oopsy — individual six-packs of Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches in wrapping for Cheese Cracker Sandwiches — but can have horrible consequences. The cheese variety doesn't have peanuts, so incorrectly packed Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches won't have a warning about the presence of peanut, an allergen.
As the notice states, 'People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts may risk serious or life-threatening allergic reactions by consuming this product.'
No company knows that more than Mondelēz. The company via its Chips Ahoy! brand found itself in the middle of a angry storm in 2017 after a teenager with a peanut allergy didn't see a warning about peanuts on Chips Ahoy! packaging and died after accidentally eating a cookie with peanuts.

The outer boxes of the Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches have the correct allergen advisory statement, but that's useless if the individual packs are emptied out of the boxes.
Mondelēz's recall notice said it 'discovered that film packaging rolls used to package individually wrapped products containing peanut butter may contain defects due to a supplier error.'
The boxes recalled:
▪ Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches, eight packs, best by Nov. 1, 2025, through Nov. 9, 2025, plant code 'AE.'
▪ Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches, 20 packs, best by Nov. 1, 2025, through Nov. 9, 2025 and Jan. 2, 2026, through Jan. 22, 2026, plant code 'AE.'
▪ Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches, 40 packs, best by Nov. 1, 2025, through Nov. 9, 2025, and Jan. 2, 2026, through Jan. 22, 2026, plant code 'AM.'
▪ Ritz Variety Pack, Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches and Cheese Sandwiches, 20 packs, best by Nov. 2, 2025, through Nov. 9, 2025, plant code 'RJ.'
Questions about this recall should be directed to Mondelēz at 844-366-1171. That's a 24/7 number, but the company says its 'customer relations specialists' are on 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday.

"We've seen encouraging signs of recovery": 11 injured in Michigan Walmart stabbing steadily improving
The conditions of the 11 people who were stabbed at a Walmart in Traverse City, Michigan, are steadily improving, medical officials said Sunday morning. As of 9 a.m., four people are in serious condition and seven are in fair condition, according to Munson Healthcare. "Over the past 12 hours, we've seen encouraging signs of recovery from our patients," the northern Michigan-based company said in a written statement. "Our dedicated team of physicians, surgeons, nurses, clinicians, and support staff remain focused on providing a healing environment for all those affected by this tragic incident." The company added that it's working to provide emotional support for Walmart employees impacted by the attack. According to the Grand Traverse Sheriff's Office, a 42-year-old man entered the Walmart around 4:43 p.m. on Saturday, and used a folding knife to stab five males and six females. The ages of the people stabbed are unknown. A sheriff's deputy was at the store "within minutes" and took the man into custody. People at the store assisted law enforcement in apprehending the man, according to the sheriff's office. The FBI is assisting with the ongoing investigation, according to Deputy Director Dan Bongino. "Violence like this is unacceptable," Joe Pennington, a Walmart spokesperson, told CBS News in a statement on Saturday. "Our thoughts are with those who were injured and we're thankful for the swift action of first responders." The sheriff's office and officials with Munson Healthcare are planning to provide an update on the incident at 2 p.m.

Pura Scents Recalling More Than 850,000 Diffuser Covers as Magnet Issue May Cause Ingestion Hazard
Pura Scents is recalling more than 850,000 diffuser covers because some magnets may detach and cause a possible ingestion hazard to children. The company is recalling the detachable covers for about 851,400 Pura 4 Smart Home Fragrance Diffusers. It said an additional 1,100 were sold in Canada. Pura Scents said that the magnets on the inside cover of the product can detach, posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death. Story continues below advertisement The company has received three reports of magnets detaching from the cover. No injuries have been reported. The diffusers were sold at Target, Scheels and other stores nationwide from August 2023 through May 2025 for about $50. They were also sold online through Pura's website, as well as online at Amazon, Target and Scheels. Pura Scents is offering a free replacement cover. Consumers are advised to immediately dispose of the existing detachable cover and to keep the diffusers out of the reach of children and pets. To receive the free replacement cover, individuals may contact Pura Scents at 855-394-5292 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday.

This Foundation Stayed Flawless In 90 Degree Heat
There's something about a brutally hot day that makes me completely rethink my makeup routine — and foundation is usually the first to go. When the temps creep into the 90s and the humidity is giving 'steam room,' the last thing I want is to feel my makeup sliding off my face before I even leave the apartment. It's either bare skin or bust unless I find something that can actually withstand the heat. Normally, I'd skip foundation altogether to avoid the dreaded midday melt, but a few weeks ago, I decided to put Clinique's Even Better Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Foundation to the test, and honestly? Game-changer. I put this foundation to the test in the summer heat, and it didn't disappoint. I applied the foundation around 9 a.m. with just my fingers (because I was running late, naturally). It went on smooth, felt weightless and gave me this radiant, healthy finish — the kind that says 'I drink water' even when I don't. I have dark spots from past breakouts, and this foundation blurred them instantly without looking heavy or mask-like. It gave me just enough coverage to feel confident but still let my skin breathe. I didn't even need to set it with lunchtime, I'd been out in the sun walking around SoHo and grabbing an iced matcha. Normally I'd be melting — especially with SPF involved — but nope. Still intact. Still glowy. Still zero white the time I got home around 9 p.m., I did a quick mirror check and audibly said, 'Wait… how?' It didn't fade. It didn't cling to dry patches. It didn't separate or settle into lines. And my skin still felt soft and hydrated, not sticky or oily. What I love most is that it's skincare-meets-makeup without making you choose between the two. This foundation is now my go-to for everyday makeup. The formula is designed to visibly improve skin tone with consistent use, thanks to vitamin C. I have a few spots from past breakouts, and after a couple weeks of use, I noticed those marks looked a little less angry. It also has SPF 15, which is nice to have for everyday protection (though I still layer a sunscreen underneath for full coverage, especially in the summer). And the best part? It's only $39 at Target. So you're not just getting a solid foundation — you're getting one that actually earns its spot in your routine, even when the heat is trying to sabotage your face. See what reviewers of have to say about this beloved Clinique foundation: Get it from Target for $39 (available in 50 shades).
