According to the FDA, the notice was announced as a Class II recall, which happens when there is 'exposure to a violative product [that] may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.'
'In 2024, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) routine testing indicated that one lot of 10-ounce Martinelli's Apple Juice glass bottles (in 4-packs only) produced in December 2023 may contain elevated levels of Patulin, a naturally-occurring substance produced by molds that can grow in apples,' Martinelli's said in a statement to PEOPLE.
Martinelli's stated that their voluntary recall was issued 'in full cooperation with the FDA' for a 'small amount of product potentially impacted by this issue.'

As of Monday, April 28, there have not been any reported health issues related to the recall.
'At S. Martinelli & Company, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of excellence, and the health and safety of our customers remains our greatest priority,' the statement concluded.

ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. (CLPT): A Bull Case Theory
We came across a bullish thesis on ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. (CLPT) on M.V. Cunha's Substack. In this article, we will summarize the bulls' thesis on CLPT. ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. (CLPT)'s share was trading at $13.93 as of 6th June. A medical doctor surrounded by advanced technology in the operating room. ClearPoint Neuro is transforming from a surgical tools provider into a critical platform company enabling the next generation of neurological treatments. In the first quarter of 2025, revenue grew 31 percent year-over-year to 8.5 million dollars, led by the rapid adoption of its SmartFrame operating room system, which increased 70 percent and allows hospitals to use ClearPoint technology in standard surgical settings. This expansion seeds a larger installed base and drives high-margin recurring revenue from disposable instruments. The biologics and drug delivery segment generated 4.7 million dollars in revenue, growing 9 percent year-over-year, and is supported by more than 60 active partnerships with gene and cell therapy developers. As these therapies move toward commercial use, ClearPoint's role as the enabling delivery infrastructure could become its most profitable revenue stream, with each procedure generating over 20,000 dollars in high-margin recurring revenue. Meanwhile, the company is intentionally moving away from capital equipment sales, which declined 63 percent, in favor of a subscription-based model that provides predictable recurring revenue. Operating cash burn fell 35 percent in 2024, with expenses rising 29 percent in the latest quarter due to targeted investments in preclinical services, therapy support, and device innovation. ClearPoint closed the quarter with 12.4 million dollars in cash and access to up to 105 million dollars in financing, providing sufficient capital to reach financial breakeven without near-term equity dilution. While risks around execution, partner dependency, and regulatory pacing remain, ClearPoint's embedded position across neurological therapy development offers investors a unique opportunity to benefit from a long-term transformation into the backbone of next-generation brain treatments. Previously, we highlighted a on ClearPoint Neuro from northeasternsvf in January 2025, which emphasized its unique position as the only FDA-cleared, MRI-guided neurosurgical platform enabling precise delivery of CNS gene and cell therapies. That thesis focused on the company's expanding biopharma partnerships, operating room penetration through SmartFrame OR, and its path to profitability via high-margin disposables. ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. (CLPT) is not on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 21 hedge fund portfolios held CLPT at the end of the first quarter which was 13 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the risk and potential of CLPT as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns, and doing so within a shorter timeframe. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than CLPT but that trades at less than 5 times its earnings, check out our report about the cheapest AI stock.
