So far, the CDC has reported 26 cases of Salmonella, which led to nine hospitalizations across 15 states: California, Colorado, Kansas, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, and Tennessee.
If you still have any of the recalled cucumbers or cucumber-containing products, you should not consume them. Instead, throw them away or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Additionally, be sure to wash any surface that may have come in contact with the contaminated cucumbers with soap and water.
If you have already consumed one of the recalled foods, you should monitor yourself for symptoms of a Salmonella infection. The most common symptoms include diarrhea, stomach cramps, dehydration, vomiting, and fever higher than 102°F—and, typically, symptoms begin between six hours and six days after eating the contaminated food. If you're experiencing any of those symptoms, contact your healthcare provider.
While most individuals feel better after four to seven days, Salmonella can cause serious infections in children, older individuals, and those with weakened immune systems. To learn more about Salmonella, visit the CDC website.

Switch 2 Pre-Order Got Cancelled? You Could Get a Reward
With only days remaining until the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5, 2025, major retailers have announced a wave of pre-order cancellations. However, that doesn't mean you're entirely out of luck—some buyers got credit applied to their accounts. The cancellations have affected buyers in both the US and the UK. Walmart, Target, Game, and plenty more retailers have had to cancel their customers' purchases. Walmart was one of the retailers that needed to cancel orders. When one Reddit user called the company to find out why their order had been canceled, they were told it was happening to many purchases. That same customer received a $25 credit as compensation. In other words, call the retailer and ask what they can do, ideally in a kind way—the customer service representatives already have to deal with a lot of upset people. A pre-order used to be a guarantee that you'll receive that console on the day of release. Retailers accept your money early to agree to the guarantee, and if you can argue such, you might get money. Remember that every retailer has their own rules for these agreements, and many may have wording that prevents it from being seen as a guarantee. Demand for the Switch 2 was extremely high, which likely surpassed expectations despite the difficulties many faced in securing pre-orders before the release. Game, a major UK retailer, first posted a public apology on social media, admitting that some Switch 2 pre-orders had been canceled and promising to restore as many affected orders as possible. While Game initially said they would reach out to affected customers with updates, they later removed their apology tweet. According to Eurogamer, the now-deleted post said, "We sincerely apologise for the recent cancellation of some Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders. We understand how disappointing this is, especially for those who have been eagerly awaiting their order. We're currently working hard to reinstate as many affected pre-orders as possible. If your order was impacted, please know that we're doing everything we can and will be in touch with further updates and next steps. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to resolve this. We truly appreciate your support.' Since the tweet is gone, it is likely that purchases will not be reinstated. There's just not enough product for the amount of pre-orders that went through. You should keep an eye on your own purchases because more pre-orders will likely be canceled as time goes on. The chip shortage has been long over, but it seems like limited consoles will just be normal at release. Nintendo will likely open orders again when there is stock available to buy, but keep in mind that making these takes time and shipping them could take even longer. While it is tempting to buy from scalpers, we know that more are coming, so patience is likely the smarter move. Source: Eurogamer, Los1man on Reddit

The debtor's largest creditors included certain shareholders, including Battelle Services Co., owed $3.25 million; Battelle Memorial Institute, owed $1.89 million; and Kavra 14 LLC, owed $1.8 million. Distressed biotechnology company Synthego Corp. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on May 5, seeking to sell its assets to its prepetition lender Perceptive Credit Holdings III L.P. in a bankruptcy sale with a stalking-horse bid calling for a credit bid of $74.4 million of debt owed to the lender, as well as a $12.5 million DIP financing.

Capture Collective was unable to resolve the contract disputes with claimants after the Covid-19 testing business ended. The company said high litigation costs had exhausted all of its remaining capital resources and made it impossible for the company to obtain new venture capital, according to information provided by RK Consultants.

Capture Collective is developing the radiation biodosimetry diagnostic test, MiRAD, a high-throughput, microRNA biomarker-based biodosimetry assay, which enables individualized clinical biomarker quantification in direct correlation with radiation exposure.

‘Something you can never replace': NC widows sue Myrtle Beach aviation company after husbands 2022 plane crash deaths
HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WBTW) — Two North Carolina widows say they're heartbroken and frustrated after filing a federal lawsuit in February against a Myrtle Beach-based aviation company that may be liable for the deaths of their husbands. 'As much as we don't want to go to trial, we will do anything for justice,' widow Toni Titone said. Terry Druffel and Barrie McMurtrie died in a single-engine plane crash in a wooded area outside of Conway in September 2022. Almost six hours after the crash, widow Linda Druffel says the Horry County coroner called her and Toni Titone to tell them their husbands died at the scene. The widows told News13 the plane was in flames when it crashed. They say authorities could not identify their husbands until they found McMurtrie's logbook. 'This is the only thing I have left of my husband,' Linda said, holding the center of her necklace. 'It's his wedding ring from that crash.' The widows' wrongful death and negligence lawsuit says Druffel and McMurtrie flew McMurtrie's single-engine Piper PA-28R on September 14, 2022. The lawsuit claims Myrtle Beach-based Executive Helijet Aviation worked on that plane months earlier. Linda says experts who examined the plane told her, within about 10 minutes of the flight, oil started leaking from the engine. When Druffel and McMurtrie tried to land in a landfill area, their right wing hit a tree. Titone and Linda say their husbands were experienced pilots. McMurtrie flew for 30 years. Druffel spent 24 years in the Navy as a helicopter pilot and 25 years with his commercial pilot's license. 'My nephews, today, just got their private pilot's licenses because of Uncle Terry, who started flying with them when they were little boys,' Linda said. In its final report in December 2023, the National Transportation Safety Board said the probable cause of the crash was the mechanic's failure to install a required gasket on the vacuum pump drive pad, which led to a loss of engine power. Linda said 16 months before Druffel and McMurtrie died, another pilot crashed and died after Executive Helijet Aviation allegedly put equipment into his plane upside down. 'Three wonderful pilots, three wonderful men, were killed because of their negligence,' Linda said. Titone says Executive Helijet's insurance company initially offered her and Linda a $2 million policy. However, the insurance company eventually told the widows they would not be getting that money. Linda and Titone are suing the aviation company for more than $75,000. 'We didn't just lose our husbands,' Titone said. 'We lost a lot of financial stability, and we lost love.' 'We lost something you can never replace,' Linda added. In response to the widows' complaint, Executive Helijet Aviation denies any liability for the crash. News13 reached out to Executive Helijet's lawyer, but we have not heard back. Court records show jury selection is set for March 2, 2026. * * * Skylar Musick is a multimedia journalist at News13.
