McDonaldโs says onions from California grower linked to deadly E. coli outbreak
SUMMARY: A deadly E. coli outbreak linked to fresh onions from California’s Taylor Farms has sickened at least 49 individuals, including one fatality, primarily affecting McDonald’s restaurants. The outbreak prompted McDonald’s to pull Quarter Pounder hamburgers from several locations and led other fast-food chains like Taco Bell and KFC to remove onions from their menus. While Taylor Farms recalled potentially contaminated onions sourced from a Colorado facility, U.S. Foods clarified these onions weren’t supplied to McDonald’s. Symptoms of E. coli can quickly manifest, especially dangerous for vulnerable populations, according to health officials.

Prosecutors recommend resentencing Erik and Lyle Menendez in 1989 killings of their parents
SUMMARY: Prosecutors are recommending that Erik and Lyle Menendez be resentenced for the 1989 murder of their parents, offering a potential path to freedom after 34 years in prison. Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascรณn is seeking court approval for this change. The Menendez brothers, who claimed they acted out of fear of their parents’ abuse, were sentenced to life without parole in 1996. While some family members advocate for their release, others, including relatives of their mother, oppose it, arguing that the original punishment was justified due to the heinous nature of the crime.
