SAN ANTONIO – It’s nearly fall, y’all!
In Consumer-land we’re speaking toys, debt, scam and cheese.
First, toys. This is the most important caution if in case you have babies in your house. Water beads get started out the dimensions of a pinhead, however they may be able to develop 100 occasions their dimension when they’re submerged in water. The threat is that young children and little toddlers to find them and swallow them and even inhale them. Then, the squishy balls develop within the frame inflicting ache, sickness and even demise. Last week, a Chuckle & Roar water bead package bought at Target used to be recalled after a toddler died. I stuck up with a neighborhood mother, Ashley Haugen, who’s been thru this horrifying ordeal. She’s on a venture to get water beads out of the toy class. You can take a look at my tales with Ashley right here.
Another scam caution. If you get an electronic mail indicating you have got a PayPal bill, be very cautious. I spoke with a space businessman who knew it used to be bogus, however nonetheless ended up dropping a whopping $80,000 to an imposter. These scammers are slick and, clearly, will also be convincing. Take a take a look at the person’s tale right here.
Lots of other folks in Bexar County are getting loads of excellent news within the mail. A non-profit and a fintech corporate partnered to shop for just about $14 million in native clinical debt and then simply tore it up. That will come as a pleasant marvel to the just about 10,000 other folks getting the awareness within the mail. Look for an envelope from RIP Medical Debt. It’s actual.
Finally, say cheese recall. Kraft recalled positive American Cheese singles, the type that’s personally wrapped. The drawback is the wrapper movie can stick and anyone may choke or gag on it.
On that word…
Have a super weekend. Let the pumpkin spice lattes start.
