• Stanley is offering free replacement lids in a recall affecting 2.6 million insulated travel mugs.
• The US Consumer Product Safety Commission said Stanley has received reports of 38 burn injuries worldwide.
• The recall covers Switchback and Trigger Action models, not the popular Quencher series of mugs.

Insulated cup maker Stanley has issued a recall affecting approximately 2.6 million Switchback and Trigger Action models worldwide.

"We ask that all customers in possession of either product immediately stop use and reach out to Stanley 1913 for a free replacement lid," the company said.

Stanley said the lid threads of the cups have been found to shrink after being exposed to heat and torque, which can lead the lid to detach during use. If the mug contains hot liquid, the defect can pose a burn hazard.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission said Stanley has received 91 reports of defected products worldwide, which have resulted in 38 burn injuries. Two of those injuries occurred in the US.

The recall does not cover the popular Quencher series of mugs.

Customers can check their product's identification number, found on the bottom of the mug, in an online portal where they can register for a free replacement lid.

The CPSC says the products were sold by Amazon, Walmart, Dick's Sporting Goods, Target and other stores between June 2016 and December of this year and cost between $20 and $50.

• The FDA said organic eggs sold in some Costcos are being recalled for Salmonella concerns.
• Handsome Brook Farms found that eggs not intended for distribution were packaged and sold.
• No illnesses have been reported so far. Salmonella can cause hospitalization.

It's time to check your fridge if you picked up organic eggs during your last Costco run.

Due to Salmonella concerns, organic eggs sold at Costco are being recalled in five states.

On Wednesday, the Food and Drug Administration announced that 10,800 retail units of 24-count organic eggs sold under Costco's Kirkland brand are being recalled.

The announcement came after Handsome Brook Farms, based in New York, determined that eggs "not intended for retail distribution" were packaged and sold in 25 Costco stores starting on November 22.

The recall specifically applies to Costco organic eggs with the Julian code 327 and a "Use By" date of Jan 5, 2025. The eggs were recalled from Costcos in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

So far, the FDA said there are no illness complaints. Salmonella symptoms usually include diarrhea, stomach cramps, and fever and some past Salmonella outbreaks led to hospitalizations.

The FDA said that in rare cases, Salmonella can be fatal in very young children, older people, and those with weakened immune systems.

Since launch, Tesla’s polarizing electric pickup has been beset by quality issues, and is now heading to be one of the most unreliable EVs made yet. Strangely, Cybertruck owners may not care one bit.

Over five months after publicly scrapping the first version of the Windows Recall feature for its first wave of Copilot+ PCs, Microsoft announced today that a newly rearchitected version of Recall is finally ready for public consumption.

For now, the preview will be limited to a tiny subset of PCs: Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite and Plus Copilot+ PCs enrolled in the Dev channel of the Windows Insider program (the build of Windows that includes Recall is 26120.2415). Intel and AMD Copilot+ PCs can’t access the Recall preview yet, and regular Windows 11 PCs won’t support the feature at all.

If you haven’t been following along, Recall is one of Microsoft’s many AI-driven Windows features exclusive to Copilot+ PCs, which come with a built-in neural processing unit (NPU) capable of running AI and machine learning workloads locally on your device rather than in the cloud. When enabled, Recall runs in the background constantly, taking screenshots of all your activity and saving both the screenshots and OCR’d text to a searchable database so that users can retrace their steps later.
