Adding medical debt to a credit report in a country that markets medical insurance in place of universal health care is barbairc and wrong.

Getting sick is not an obligation that reflects poor decisions. You didn't overspend at the hospital. They billed you hundreds for a Tylenol.

🇺🇸recall of 850,000 ozark trail 64oz water bottles sold at walmart due to injuries including permanent vision loss🇺🇸

these water bottles can fucking blind you. that is. really not good.

the recalled stainless steel water bottles have been sold at walmart nationwide and online since 2017, for around $15 each. stop using these water bottles immediately and return them to walmart for a refund!

https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2025/Walmart-Recalls-Ozark-Trail-64-oz-Water-Bottles-Due-to-Serious-Impact-and-Laceration-Hazards

Name of Product: Ozark Trail 64 oz Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottles Hazard: The lid can forcefully eject, posing serious impact and laceration hazards, when a consumer attempts to open the capped bottles after food, carbonated beverages or perishable beverages, such as juice or milk, are stored inside over time. Remedy: Refund Recall Date: July 10, 2025 Units: About 850,000

so the problem here is the lid. depending on what gets put inside the water bottle and for how long, pressure can build up inside the water bottle and turn the lid into a dangerous projectile whenever the water bottle does finally get opened.

Description: This recall involves Ozark Trail 64 oz Stainless Steel Insulated Water Bottles sold with model number 83-662 on the product packaging. The stainless-steel bottles are silver with a black one-piece screwcap lid. They measure 4.41 x 4.41 x 11.5 inches and there is an Ozark Trail logo embedded on the side of the bottle. The model number does not appear on the product. Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled water bottles and contact Walmart for a full refund. Consumers can bring the bottle to their nearest Walmart store for a refund. Incidents/Injuries: Walmart has received three reports of consumers who were injured when struck in the face by a lid forcefully ejected from these bottles upon opening. Two consumers suffered permanent vision loss after being struck in the eye.

some emphasis mine. you can see the picture of the water bottle at the top of the post and a picture of the lid a little further down. stop using these water bottles immediately and bring them to the nearest walmart for a refund.

out of the three reported injuries to the face, two of them involved permanent vision loss after being struck in the eye. so my understanding here is, people started unscrewing the cap normally, and then the cap ejected the rest of the way with a lot of force due to the buildup of pressure and the way the lid was designed. anything in front of that is prone to getting damaged, including if that thing is someone's face.

as food and drinks go bad, gas can build up from bacterial growth. this can make packaged food look over-inflated. think twice about eating something in a swollen container!

after pressure has built up inside the water bottle, loosening the lid basically turns it into a rocket. since this water bottle is insulated stainless steel, it can be a lot more difficult to tell at a glance if there is a dangerous buildup of pressure compared to a swollen gallon of perished milk or a ballooning package of rotten meat. the recall says even carbonated beverages might be enough to cause this dangerous buildup.

and less immediately dangerous but still not great, there is also the possibility of the pressurized contents spewing out when opened. try not to spray spoiled soup everywhere.

Sold Exclusively At: Walmart stores nationwide and online at Walmart.com since 2017 for about $15.

these dangerous water bottles have been on the market for 8 years for around $15, in stores and online.

I (rune) would like to recommend, if you must open one of these, open it AWAY from your face. potentially outside. you probably have a better idea than me of what was in your water bottle and for how long, but remember: this water bottle has already fucked up multiple people's eyeballs. if you have any concerns there might be any kind of pressure buildup inside, know that it is way easier to be a little extra cautious about a water bottle than it is to regrow an eye or two.

🇺🇸nationwide recall of ritz cracker sandwiches due to mislabeling peanut butter as cheese🇺🇸

while the outside of the recalled cartons all mention that the contents contain peanut butter somewhere, the individually wrapped "cheese" flavored sandwiches inside the box may actually be peanut butter.

I (rune) really recommend this FDA link be shared in school and parent groups, because kids might share their snacks.

yes these are the full resolution photos provided by the FDA.

EAST HANOVER, N.J., July 8, 2025 – Mondelēz Global LLC announced today a voluntary recall of four carton sizes of RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches (8-pack, 20-pack, and 40pack cartons of RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches, as well as the 20-pack RITZ Filled Cracker Sandwich Variety Pack carton) manufactured in the United States and sold nationwide. The affected cartons include individually wrapped packs that may be incorrectly labeled as Cheese variety even though the product may be a Peanut Butter variety. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to peanuts may risk serious or life-threatening allergic reactions by consuming this product. All outer cartons affected are labeled correctly and provide an allergen advisory statement indicating that the product “contains peanuts.”

alright so say you have a box of RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches. the outside correctly says you have a box with peanut butter filled sandwiches that contain peanuts somewhere. (but that somewhere might be a surprise.) you reach your hand in to acquire a peanut buttery snack. and the one you pull out says: CHEESE

...even though you actually have a peanut butter cracker sandwich.

part of what makes this specific situation way fucking worse than it already was is that this labeling error also affects variety packs that contain both peanut butter and cheese flavored cracker sandwiches. it is a little easier to tell some kind of mistake was made if you buy a peanut butter-only carton and pull out something that says cheese. but if someone gets sick from eating the peanut butter flavor and not the cheese flavor, and they reach into a multipack that says it contains the cheese flavored cracker sandwiches, they might accidentally eat the peanut butter flavor and get very very sick.

and of course, people sharing their snacks with others with no box in sight might accidentally give a cheese-labeled peanut butter cracker sandwich to someone who can handle a cheese cracker sandwich and not a peanut butter cracker sandwich. because it says CHEESE!

This recall is exclusively for the 8-pack, 20-pack, and 40-pack RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwich cartons and the 20-pack RITZ Filled Cracker Sandwich Variety Pack carton, with Best When Used By Dates listed in the grid below, available at retail stores nationwide. No other RITZ products or Mondelēz Global LLC products are included in, or affected by, this recall.

and tumblr still will not let me do tables so I am going to do my best to format this for tumblr.

and the alleged cheese (but actually peanut butter) sandwiches may be labeled as such:

RITZ Cheese Cracker Sandwiches (1.38oz. pack)

retail UPC: 0 44000 00211 4

best when used by dates: 1 NOV 25–9 NOV 25, 2 JAN 26–22 JAN 26; “AE” Plant Code Only (located on side of package)

pictures of the recalled items and the mislabeled "cheese" sandwiches are at the top.

There have been no reports of injury or illness reported to Mondelēz Global LLC to date related to this product, and we are issuing this recall as a precaution. The recall was initiated after Mondelēz Global LLC discovered that film packaging rolls used to package individually wrapped products containing peanut butter may contain defects due to a supplier error. Corrective actions are being taken to help ensure this issue does not recur.

emphasis entirely theirs.

someone is probably going to get sick because of this, but there have been no reports of that happening yet. the recall was issued before any reports were received. allegedly they are going to try and make sure this never happens again.

to be totally clear here: cartons only containing cheese flavored sandwiches are not being recalled. and only the listed items within those specific best by dates are being recalled. a limited number of peanut butter sandwiches were individually mislabeled as cheese. if you have zero issues with peanut butter or accidentally eating peanut butter, and there is no chance of someone who gets sick from peanut butter eating your ritz sandwiches: there is no significant danger.

but: if you or someone you know could get sick from eating a peanut butter cracker sandwich when anticipating a cheese cracker sandwich, that is where things get dangerous.

I'm going to connect some dots

Republicans are building a concentration camp in the Everglades, with plans to build more in other states.

They are "deputizing" militia lunatics and sending them out to terrorize our communities.

They just gave ICE a bigger budget than the USMC. FORTY BILLION DOLLARS.

They keep talking about deporting people who are American citizens, people who have done nothing wrong, who have broken no laws. In some cases, they've already done that. They've talked about suspending habeas corpus and declaring martial law.

They are telling us, in word and in deed, that they are turning their rage and violence directly onto American citizens. RIght now, they are laser focused on terrorizing immigrant communities, but this will not stop with the communities they are terrorizing right now. They are going to go after journalists, professors, influencers who don't fall into line, and more.

They are building a police state, in plain sight, and they are telling us exactly what they are going to do when they are done.

finding out vapes have been lead poisoning people for the past 20 years almost suddenly made a lot of things make sense

[accountablegryphon]

I’m convinced a lot of the resistance boils down to simple racism. White Americans don’t want people of color to have the same things that they do.. They think by giving everyone equal access to healthcare it will somehow mean less healthcare for them.

Connecting health care to horrible jobs is a gift to horrible employers.

Immigrants and migrants bring billions more in value and humanity to American society than Charlie Kirk could dream of.
