Taylor Farms Lettuce Recall Alert | Seattle News

Taylor Farms is recalling specific Marketside iceberg lettuce products from Walmart shelves due to potential cyclospora contamination — affecting 12-, 24-, 8-, and 16-ounce packs with best-by dates between July 18, 2026, and August 3, 2026. The recall covers stores in multiple states including Florida, Kentucky, and Texas, as a precautionary measure after CDC-linked outbreaks tied to Taco Bell locations sickened over 1,600 people and hospitalized nearly 100. Symptoms include diarrhea, stomach pain, and fatigue — treatable but potentially serious if left unchecked. If you have the affected lettuce, throw it out or return it — your health comes first.

Renters Gain AC Rights in Heatwave | Seattle News

With Western Washington sweltering under a heatwave, new law Senate Bill 6200 gives renters the green light to install portable and window AC units — unless landlords can prove a valid reason like existing heat pumps, code violations, or electrical overload. Landlords can’t block window units if they don’t block locks, damage walls, or pose safety risks — and must show insurance paperwork if it prohibits them. Renters still need to handle installation risks themselves — landlords aren’t liable for injuries or power outages caused by their units. Mobile home dwellers? Same rules apply — just keep it safe and legal. Stay cool, stay compliant. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
