    More than 350,000 vitamins and supplements were recalled due to incorrect packaging, which federal regulators said poses a "risk of serious injury or death" to children.New Jersey-based Vitaquest International initiated the voluntary recall of about 356,140 dietary supplements that contain iron due to the lack of child-resistant packaging required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission."The dietary supplements contain iron, which must be in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act," the commission said in its announcement.TOYOTA RECALLS 73K HYBRID VEHICLES OVER PEDESTRIAN WARNING SOUND ISSUE"The packaging of the supplements is not child-resistant, posing a risk of serious injury or death from poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children," the alert added.Vitaquest International said child-resistant packaging on these products is "intended to ensure that young children do not accidentally ingest an amount of the product that could cause iron poisoning."The company also emphasized that the lack of child-resistant caps or storage pouches is the only concern and that there are no issues with the product formulation, ingredient quality or anything else."While the product formulation and iron content are safe when used as directed, we are conducting this recall to protect young children from the risk that they will get access to the products and ingest more than directed," the company said on its website.The recall includes prenatal vitamins as well as supplements for bariatric surgery patients who have had sleeve or band procedures. It also covers the Zenbean Kids Café Instant Coffee + Nutrition Latte, a caffeine-free coffee alternative for children sold in Original, Caramel, Chocolate and Vanilla flavors.Affected products were sold under the brands Arey, Bari Life, Bird&Be, Biote, Dr. Fuhrman, NuLife, HMR, Bariatric Pal, Noevir, Zenbean and Sakara.EINSTEIN BAGELS CREAM CHEESE SPREAD RECALLED OVER ALMONDS THAT COULD CAUSE LIFE-THREATENING ALLERGIC REACTION CLICK HERE TO GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GOThe products were sold at Credo Beauty, Erewhon, Healf, Nutrition World, The Vitamin Shoppe, Fullscript, Ulta Beauty, medical practitioners’ offices, brands’ websites and Amazon.com between April 2023 and February 2026 for between $13 and $130, depending on brand and size.Consumers are urged to immediately store the supplements out of children's reach and to contact Vitaquest International for information on how to receive a free child-resistant replacement cap or storage pouch.No injuries have been reported thus far in connection with the recalled packaging.

  • LARRY KUDLOW: Trump Jiu-Jitsu aims to bankrupt and starve the Iranian regime
    So the Iranians wouldn’t give up their uranium enrichment or dismantle their enrichment facilities. Or hand over their already enriched uranium. So President Trump turned the tables, applied some Trumpian Jiu-Jitsu, and put a United States naval blockade on the Strait of Hormuz that will be enforced in the Gulf of Oman.I’m not sure anybody yet knows how this is all going to go down, but at least beginning today, here’s what America’s Central Command said: "Any vessel entering or departing the blockaded area without authorization is subject to interception, diversion, and capture. The blockade will not impede neutral transit passage through the Strait of Hormuz to or from non-Iranian destinations."To my way of thinking, what that means is that anybody that does business with Iran is going to have their ships blockaded. And if the Iranian motorboats take pot shots at our Navy, we will obliterate them just the way we did with all those Venezuelan drug boats. To a large extent, Mr. Trump has adopted the Venezuela model. Iran sells no oil, makes no money, therefore can’t disperse any money they don’t have, and America takes de facto control of the whole Persian Gulf area.The president had to say about all of this: "It’s called all in, and all out." He added: "We think that numerous countries are going to be helping us with this also, but we’re putting on a complete blockade. We’re not going to let Iran make money on selling oil to people that they like, and not people that they don’t like or whatever it is. It’s going to be all or none," and "I predict they come back and give us everything we want."I say good. Then there’s the question of when will Iran go completely bankrupt? Some quick numbers from several sources, including TIPP Insights and Foundation for Defense of Democracies more than 90 percent of Iran’s nearly 110 billion in annual trade transits the Persian Gulf, crude oil alone was earning $139 million per day before the war started. Petrochemicals earn another $54 million per day.So at $435 million a day in lost revenues, that comes to $159 billion over a year. That $159 billion loss of revenues is roughly 50 percent more than the entire Iranian budget which comes to roughly $100 billion. At what point does bankruptcy come into play? I honestly don’t know yet.According to sources, on-shore oil… [TheTopNews] Read More.

  • ‘DoorDash Grandma’ praises Trump tax break after 11K savings amid hu...
    A DoorDash delivery driver praised President Donald Trump at the White House, saying his "no tax on tips" policy helped her family "immensely" and delivered more than $11,000 in savings ahead of Tax Day.The driver, Sharon Simmons, met Trump during a delivery to the White House, where she thanked him directly, telling him it had made a significant difference for her household."It has helped my family out immensely and I definitely appreciate it," Simmons said, referring to the administration’s push to eliminate taxes on tips.Simmons, who has worked as a full-time DoorDash driver since 2021, said tips make up a major portion of her income. She told the president she saved more than $11,000 under the policy, calling the amount "very surprising" when asked if the total exceeded her expectations.IRS GUIDANCE FOR TRUMP'S NO TAX ON TIPS' AND OVERTIME DEDUCTIONS: WHAT TO KNOWThe savings came at a critical time for her family. According to information shared during the event, Simmons’ husband reduced his work hours while undergoing cancer treatment, leaving her income – and the tips she earned – as a key source of financial support. The additional money has helped cover medical-related expenses, offset lost income and pay for travel to visit family.Trump used the moment to highlight his broader tax agenda, pointing to Simmons’ experience as an example of what he described as widespread relief for working Americans."So the reason for this is the fact that I heard you picked up an extra $11,000 because the tax bill was so big – the refund was the biggest you’ve ever had," Trump said, crediting the "Great Big Beautiful Bill." He also referenced similar anecdotes from other taxpayers who, he said, received larger-than-expected refunds under his policies.IRS REVEALS 2026 TAX ADJUSTMENTS WITH CHANGES FROM 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL'The "no tax on tips" initiative is part of a broader tax package the administration says is aimed at boosting take-home pay for service industry workers and others who rely on variable income.According to the White House, millions of Americans have already benefited from the provision, with average deductions reaching into the thousands of dollars.During the exchange, Trump also emphasized that the reported savings did not include potential additional benefits tied to overtime provisions, another component of his tax plan.SOCIAL SECURITY COMMISSIONER FRANK BISIGNANO NAMED IRS CEOThe interaction carried a lighter moment as well, when a reporter asked whether the White House was known… [TheTopNews] Read More.
