To achieve the WELL Health-Safety Rating for the facilities at the complex, AEG met rigorous requirements related to its operational policies, maintenance protocols and emergency plans. The WELL Health-Safety Rating includes more than 20 features designed to help organizations keep spaces clean against spreadable diseases; provide essential health benefits and services; communicate health and safety efforts; ensure they have adequate emergency preparations and programs; and assess the facility's air and water quality.
The rating was awarded following the successful completion of a third-party documentation review to confirm that the facilities met the feature-specific requirements for supporting the long-term health and safety needs of everyone who is working at or visiting the venue.
'Crypto.com Arena and Peacock theater are iconic destinations that bring people together to celebrate sports, entertainment and community,' said Rachel Hodgdon, IWBI CEO.

Congratulations to AEG for setting a high bar for how venues can lead with health.'

Informed by the WELL Building Standard and a wide range of building and health scientists, practitioners, representatives from the business community and other experts, the WELL Health-Safety Rating is a roadmap for driving resilience across both business policies and operational plans. The WELL Health-Safety seal communicates a sense of confidence that a venue is maintaining the most effective and up-to-date practices for safety and wellness.
'The Green Sports Alliance congratulates AEG for receiving the WELL Health-Safety Rating for Peacock Theater and AEG offices at the L.A. Live campus, in addition to maintaining this designation at the Crypto.com Arena,' said Roger McClendon, Executive Director of the Green Sports Alliance.

FDA Announces Recall of Health Product Due to 'Serious Injuries'
It's always important to stay informed about recalls, because following recall protocols can ensure you keep your family and friends safe. While it can be annoying to find out that a product you rely on has to be tossed out, it's always better to be safe than sorry, so following recall guidance is crucial. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), "A recall is a method of removing or correcting products that are in violation of laws administered by the FDA." They add that a "recall is a voluntary action that takes place because manufacturers and distributors carry out their responsibility to protect the public health and well-being from products that present a risk of injury or gross deception or are otherwise defective." Now, the FDA has identified a Class I recall of a health product. A Class I recall is the most serious of all recalls, with the FDA describing it as "a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death." FDA Classifies Most Serious Recall The FDA has issued a Class I recall of Draeger SafeStar and TwinStar Filters because of a risk of misleading carbon dioxide readings. This is a serious recall, because having the carbon dioxide readings off could result in deadly consequences. The filters are "bidirectional breathing system filters used during anesthesia and mechanical ventilation." and are designed to filter out contaminants, according to the FDA. "The use of affected filters may cause serious adverse health consequences, including airway injury, delayed or incorrect treatment, brain injury and death," the FDA states. They add that there were some serious injuries reported because of the slow increase of CO2 curve when using the sampling port of the filter. The good news is that, so far, there have been no reported deaths due to this issue. "Draeger is recalling these filters due to the risk of misleading capnography (carbon dioxide) readings," the FDA adds, "which could result in health care providers administering unnecessary or harmful treatments based on incorrect waveform interpretations." So, health care providers and anyone with these devices should stop using them immediately.
