This holiday will certainly be different for us all this year, including how we shop for gifts. As in-store shopping becomes more risky during the surge in COVID-19 infections, Americans are turning to online retailers in record numbers to buy gifts for the little ones in their lives, even if they haven’t done so in the past. Before you hit “submit payment,” learn more about counterfeit products that do not meet safety standards and are commonly found on the biggest e-commerce websites.

Dietary Supplements, Alternative Medications Not Always Safe or Effective

A magic pill, a super serum or the one-size-fits-all cure you see on social media sure can feel like a miracle made real. But the truth is that many supplements or alternative medications can have dangerous side effects, and none of them are regulated or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This month, we take a closer look at the dubious claims aimed at convincing millions of Americans to purchase potentially harmful “health” products. https://letamericaknow.com/view_newsletter_ysk.php?memberid=22310&orderid=768&newsletterid=546&issueid=2011&subscriberid=1000217

Can Americans Seek Justice for Losses from Climate Change?

America’s civil justice system is the great equalizer for the average citizen. Time and again, individuals have held powerful corporations, wealthy special interests and failed government watchdogs accountable in a court of law for endangering the public. Think big to***co and cancer, pharmaceutical giants and opioids, major carmakers and defective vehicles, just to name a few. Now some ask, “Can we hold wrongdoers accountable for the worsening death and destruction caused by man-made climate change?”

Back in the day (last year) when we there were still live sporting events, outdoor concerts, community celebrations or just about anything else that drew a crowd, you could count on a blinking drone hovering overhead to capture all the action. Since approval for commercial use 14 years ago, the number of registered drones has taken off and is projected to fly even higher in the coming years. Along with all the benefits drone technology represents for the future, you should know that the flight plan also includes a growing number of safety and privacy issues. https://letamericaknow.com/view_newsletter_ysk.php?memberid=22310&orderid=768&newsletterid=541&issueid=2009&subscriberid=1000217
