<p>According to the FDA, bottles of the product may contain sriracha sauce, which contains sulfites not listed on the habanero buffalo sauce label. People who are allergic to these sulfites run the risk of serious and potentially life-threatening allergic reactions if consumed. </p>



<p>The impacted products were distributed between Feb. 5 and March 26. The best-by date is located on the top of the side of the 2 fl. oz bottles, on the back label for the 20 oz bottles, on top of the cap for the 12 fl. oz and half gallon jugs.</p>



<p>The company is also recalling select lots and sizes of Texas Pete Sweet CHAbanero Sauce because the bottles fail to contain the labeled ingredient &#8220;aged peppers.&#8221; </p>



<p>No illnesses have been reported to date, according to the FDA. </p>

<p>A Maryland woman who found herself in over her head with a fixer-upper turned her frustration into a thriving business – and teaches women home repair skills they never thought they would master.</p>



<p>Tisha Grant’s journey started with trial and error after she got divorced and bought a home.</p>



<p>“I said, ‘I’m going to figure it out. I’m going to try and do some of this stuff myself,’” she said.</p>



<p>Grant watched countless tutorials and got to work.</p>



<p>“I was literally in there hammering everything out, knocking down the walls, pulling out the carpet, because I didn’t have the money to pay,” she said.</p>



<p>She <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thecontract_her/?hl=en">documented her journey on social media</a>. Before she knew it, messages started pouring in.</p>



<p>“People kept asking me questions about, ‘Where did you learn this stuff? How did you learn this? Where can I learn this?’ And I realized there was a hole in the market. There was no place for women, women of color, to learn these types of skills,” she said.</p>



<p>Grant launched <a href="https://www.thecontracther.com/">her company, The ContractHer</a>, and bought herself a pink truck to make sure everyone knew she was driving the business.</p>

<p>She teaches three-day courses to mostly women. Students learn how to tackle home projects, from basic plumbing and electrical work to tiling and painting.</p>



<p>The goal is to give women the confidence and skills they need so they don’t feel dependent on someone else to do the job.</p>



<p>“My other goal is to learn more so I can keep my house up and keep money in my pocket,” student Veronica Moore said.</p>



<p>From self-doubt to self-made success, Grant said she’s living proof that with a little determination and the right tools, anything is possible.</p>



<p>“For most people, especially women, your home is going to be the single greatest investment that you ever have. Why shouldn’t we know how to protect it and upkeep it?” she said.</p>



<p>Learning the skills to tackle home projects can save homeowners thousands of dollars. The average home improvement project costs a little over $8,100 when professionally done, versus about $2,700 to do it yourself, the Census Bureau’s American Housing Survey says.</p>

<p>President Donald Trump announced far-reaching new tariffs on nearly all United States trading partners Wednesday, raising concerns about triggering broader trade wars and higher prices on goods from automobiles to <a href="https://link.nbcwashington.com/click/39280098.9650/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmJjd2FzaGluZ3Rvbi5jb20vbmV3cy9idXNpbmVzcy9tb25leS1yZXBvcnQvdHJ1bXAtYWRtaW5pc3RyYXRpb24tcHV0cy0yNS10YXJpZmYtb24tYWxsLWNhbm5lZC1iZWVyLWltcG9ydHMtZW1wdHktYWx1bWludW0tY2Fucy8zODgxOTQ2Lw/59e5616b2ddf9c37d0c3aaa6Ba40a3c66">canned beer</a> to <a href="https://link.nbcwashington.com/click/39280098.9650/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmJjd2FzaGluZ3Rvbi5jb20vbmV3cy9idXNpbmVzcy9tb25leS1yZXBvcnQvdHJ1bXBzLW1hc3NpdmUtNDYtdmlldG5hbS10YXJpZmZzLWNvdWxkLWhpdC1uaWtlLWFtZXJpY2FuLWVhZ2xlLWFuZC13YXlmYWlyLzM4ODIxNDYv/59e5616b2ddf9c37d0c3aaa6B1c3306c8">furniture and toys.</a></p>



<p>Countries seeking to sell goods to the U.S. will now face taxes as high as 54% based on how the White House is calculating duties on U.S. exports, as well as &#8220;nonmonetary&#8221; trade barriers in response to countries doing things such as manipulating their currencies or serving as &#8220;pollution havens.”</p>



<p>Trump signed an executive order instituting a 10% tariff applying to all countries, but key trading partners are set to pay more.</p>



<p>China, one of the United States&#8217; largest trading partners, will be hit with a 54% tariff, the European Union with 20%, India with 26% and Japan with 24%, among many others, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/trump-reciprocal-tariffs-trade-markets-impact-what-know-rcna198207">NBC News reports.</a></p>



<p>The tariffs that are set to impose major duties on billions — if not trillions — of dollars in trade.</p>



<p>The president, who said the tariffs were designed to boost domestic manufacturing, used aggressive rhetoric to describe a global trade system that the U.S. helped to build after World War II, saying “our country has been looted, pillaged, raped and plundered” by other nations.</p>



<p>The steep tariffs are raising consumer fears that higher prices are on the way, both because the cost of tariffs is often passed on to consumers and ramping up tariffs on foreign governments frequently draws retaliation.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-nbc-section-heading">What does tariff mean?</h2>



<p>Tariffs are taxes on imports collected when foreign goods cross the U.S. border via Customs and Border Protection. The money — about $80 billion last year — goes to the U.S. Treasury to help pay the federal government’s expenses. Congress has authority to say how the money will be spent. When Trump announced the tariffs, he said he wants to boost manufacturing in the U.S., reduce taxes and pay down the national debt.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-nbc-section-heading">Who pays for tariffs?</h2>



<p>Companies or entities that import goods into the U.S. pay the tariffs on those goods. Economists say at least some of those costs will be passed on to consumers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-nbc-section-heading">When do tariffs go into effect?</h2>



<p>The 10% tariff is set to go into effect on Saturday, April 5. The steeper <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/national-international/answering-questions-president-trumps-reciprocal-tariffs/3882318/">&#8220;reciprocal tariffs&#8221;</a> are set to go into effect on Wednesday, April 9.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-nbc-section-heading">Which goods will get more expensive? </h2>



<p>The widespread tariffs cover everything from your bedding, furniture, smartphones, computers and lithium-ion batteries.</p>



<p>Consumers in the U.S. buy a lot of stuff imported from abroad. In fact, the U.S. is the largest goods importer in the world, and imports totaled $3.2 trillion in 2022, according to the <a href="https://ustr.gov/countries-regions">Office of the United States Trade Representative.</a></p>



<p>The Trump administration&#8217;s 10% baseline tariff plan is set to make all imports more expensive. But certain categories of goods, including automobiles and alcohol, and certain countries, including China and Vietnam, will face higher tariffs.</p>



<p>From China and Vietnam, the top commodities coming into the U.S. include machinery parts, footwear and textiles. <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/business/money-report/trumps-massive-46-vietnam-tariffs-could-hit-nike-american-eagle-and-wayfair/3882146/">Some household names will feel the pinch from Vietnam tariffs</a>, including Wayfair, American Eagle and Nike.</p>



<p>From the European Union, the U.S. imports pharmaceuticals, including those very popular weight loss drugs, wine and IKEA products.</p>



<p>Here&#8217;s a look at some industries and types of goods that could get substantially more expensive.</p>



<p><strong>Alcohol</strong></p>



<p>The Trump administration levied a 25% tariff on all U.S. beer imports, affecting Mexican Corona, Dutch Heineken and Irish Guinness.</p>



<p>While industry experts were relieved that Trump&#8217;s threats of a 200% tariff on European alcohol did not materialize Thursday, along with 25% tariffs on Mexican tequila and Canadian whiskey, they warned the tariffs will likely still hit sales among U.S. drinkers for European makers of wine and spirits, which amounted to 2.9 billion euros ($3.18 billion) in exports last year, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/live-blog/trump-reciprocal-tariffs-reactions-markets-consumers-live-updates-rcna199411#rcrd76044">NBC News reported.</a></p>



<p><strong>Automobiles</strong></p>



<p>The sweeping plan includes a 25% tariff on foreign-made cars. The news has the industry spinning, especially since U.S. auto manufacturers rely on an integrated supply chain. </p>



<p>Now, <a href="https://link.nbcwashington.com/click/39280098.9650/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmJjd2FzaGluZ3Rvbi5jb20vbmV3cy9sb2NhbC9hdXRvbWFrZXJzLXByZXBhcmUtZm9yLXByZXNpZGVudC10cnVtcHMtdGFyaWZmcy8zODgyMzY3Lw/59e5616b2ddf9c37d0c3aaa6Bf339a439" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">local car dealers are trying to figure out what this is going to look like for customers who walk into the showroom</a>, said Rob Smith, president of Montgomery County&#8217;s Fitzgerald Auto Mall.</p>

<p>“Got about 15 different brands that we&#8217;ve got to keep track of,” Smith said. “Some of them have said they might just absorb it and reduce and not have any incentives, like rebates or special APR. Others have said, ‘We&#8217;re going to add a line to the sticker on the car. The MSRP will have another charge labeled the tariff charge,’” he told News4.</p>



<p>Even those who already own a car will be affected. On May 3, a tariff on foreign car parts, including engines, transmissions and electrical components, is scheduled to go into effect.</p>



<p><strong>Cheap clothes, electronics and more from Shein, Temu and other low-cost retailers</strong></p>



<p>Trump on Wednesday&nbsp;<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-closes-de-minimis-exemptions-to-combat-chinas-role-in-americas-synthetic-opioid-crisis/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">signed an executive order</a>&nbsp;shutting the de minimis trade loophole, effective May 2, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/de-minimis-trade-loophole-boosted-chinese-online-retailers-end-may-2-rcna199425">NBC News reported.</a></p>



<p>The trade exemption allows shipments worth less than $800 to enter the U.S. duty-free.</p>



<p>Use of the de minimis provision has exploded in recent years as shoppers flock to Chinese e-commerce companies Temu and Shein, which offer ultra-low-cost apparel, electronics and other items. U.S. Customs and Border Protection&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/national-media-release/cbp-proposes-new-rule-strengthen-enforcement-and-limit-duty" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">has said</a>&nbsp;it processed more than 1.3 billion de minimis shipments in 2024, up from over 1 billion shipments in 2023.</p>



<p>Goods that qualify under the de minimis exemption will be subject to a duty of either 30% of their value, or $25 per item. That rate will increase to $50 per item on June 1, the White House said.</p>



<p><strong>Fruits, vegetables and other grocery staples</strong></p>



<p>The U.S. was the top global importer of bananas in 2023, based on Observatory of Economic Complexity data. Nearly 40% of those bananas came from Guatemala, which will face a 10% tariff on goods exported to the U.S.</p>



<p>The U.S. imports approximately 60% of its fresh fruit and 40% of its fresh vegetables, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/fruits-and-vegetables-trump-tariffs-how-much-could-prices-change-rcna181837">NBC News reported</a>. Most of those products come from Mexico, which was <a href="https://apnews.com/article/mexico-us-tariffs-trump-stellantis-90a6964f4386f8a002b3f46a16c0f221">largely exempt</a> from the latest round of tariffs. </p>



<p>Spices, coffee, cocoa and milled oats used to produce cereal could also see price increases, <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/business/money-report/shoppers-will-pay-more-for-bananas-coffee-and-toilet-paper-because-of-tariffs-trade-group-says/3883093/">CNBC reports.</a></p>



<p><strong>Footwear</strong></p>



<p>Nike&nbsp;manufactures about half of its footwear in China and Vietnam, with about 25% coming from Vietnam. Trump will put a 34% tariff on top of existing 20% duties on imports from China, for an apparent rate of 54%, a White House official told CNBC.</p>



<p>Nearly a third of footwear imports in the U.S. came from Vietnam in 2023, the most recent full-year data available, according to the Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America, an industry trade group, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/trumps-massive-46-vietnam-tariffs-hit-nike-american-eagle-wayfair-rcna199407">NBC News reported.</a></p>



<p><strong>Toys</strong></p>



<p>Toymakers have also leaned on Vietnam to make more merchandise that’s imported and sold to kids and adults across the U.S.&nbsp;Hasbro, SpinMaster,&nbsp;Mattel&nbsp;and Crayola are among the companies that work with GFT Group, one of the largest toy manufacturers in the Southeast Asia.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-nbc-section-heading">How soon will prices rise?</h2>



<p>It depends on how businesses both in the U.S. and overseas respond, but consumers could see overall prices rising within a month or two of tariffs being imposed. For some products, such as produce from&nbsp;Mexico, prices could rise much more quickly after the tariffs take effect.</p>



<p>Some U.S. retailers and other importers may eat part of the cost of the tariff, and overseas exporters may reduce their prices to offset the extra duties. But for many businesses, the tariffs Trump announced Wednesday — such as 20% on imports from Europe — will be too large to swallow on their own.</p>



<p>Companies may also use the tariffs as an excuse to raise prices. When Trump slapped duties on washing machines in 2018, studies later showed that retailers raised prices on both washers and dryers, even though there were no new duties on dryers.</p>



<p>A key question in the coming months is whether something similar will happen again. Economists worry that consumers, having just lived through the biggest inflationary spike in four decades, are more accustomed to rising prices than they were before the pandemic.</p>



<p>Yet there are also signs that Americans, put off by the rise in the cost of living, are less willing to accept price increases and will simply cut back on their purchases. That could discourage businesses from raising prices by much.</p>

<p>A popular brand of liquid laundry detergent is recalling thousands of bottles due to &#8220;risk of exposure to bacteria,&#8221; according to an announcement from the <a href="https://www.woolite.us/Voluntary-Recall/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.woolite.us/Voluntary-Recall/">U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission</a>.</p>



<p>The <a href="https://www.nbcchicago.com/tag/recalls/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.nbcchicago.com/tag/recalls/">recall,</a> issued Mar. 20, applies to 50 fluid-ounce bottles of liquid Woolite Delicates detergent, the announcement said. Approximately 16,200 bottles were recalled, with lot codes S24364, S24365 and S24366. Each of the bottles is white with a light pink label and cap, the announcement said.</p>

<p>According to the announcement, the recalled products contain &#8220;Pseudomonas species bacteria,&#8221; including Pseudomonas oleovorans, an environmental organism found in soil and water. Those with weakened immune systems or external medical devices who are exposed to the bacteria could face the risk of &#8220;serious infection&#8221; and could require medical treatment.</p>



<p>According to the announcement such bacteria can enter the body through the eyes or a break in the skin. Those with healthy immune systems are not typically affected by the bacteria, the announcement said.</p>



<p>Customers are advised to immediately stop using the products, which were sold exclusively on Amazon.com, and contact the manufacturer for a full refund.

				<![CDATA[
<p>Your phone rings, the number is unknown but you pick up in case it’s a doctor’s office or your child’s school – only to find it’s a debt-reduction offer or bogus info about how you won a free cruise.</p>



<p>Robocalls and scam texts are not only annoying but can lead to the loss of your hard-earned money.</p>



<p>Americans reported losing a whopping $10 billion to scams in 2023, the Federal Trade Commission says. Phone scams caused the highest per-person loss, at a median of $1,400.</p>





<div class="wp-block-nbc-localized-block">
<p><a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">News4 </a>and <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/author/consumer-reports/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Consumer Reports</a> have new advice on how to stop annoying robocalls and avoid becoming a fraud victim.</p>
</div>



<h2 class="wp-block-nbc-section-heading">Check with your cellphone provider</h2>



<p>Your cellphone provider may be your first line of defense, said Nicholas De Leon, a technology writer with Consumer Reports.</p>



<p>“The Federal Communications Commission requires your provider to have robocall-fighting technology. It’s free. Or maybe you pay a little more monthly to have spam-blocking features,” he said.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-nbc-section-heading">Change your phone settings</h2>



<p>You can set your phone to only ring for calls from your contacts and people you’ve previously been in contact with.</p>



<p>On an iPhone, go to Settings &gt;&gt; Phone &gt;&gt; Silence Unknown Callers. Anyone you don’t know will go right to voicemail.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-nbc-section-heading">Do not reply to unknown texts from questionable sources</h2>



<p>If you get an offer or link in a text from someone you don’t know, don’t respond or click.</p>

<p>Segway is recalling about 220,000 of its scooters sold across the U.S. due to a fall hazard that has resulted in user injuries ranging from bruises to broken bones.</p>



<p>According to a notice published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the folding mechanism in Segway&#8217;s Ninebot Max G30P and Max G30LP KickScooters can fail during use — causing the handlebars or stem of the scooters to fold.</p>



<p>That can result in serious injuries, the Commission warns. Thursday&#8217;s recall notice notes that Segway has received 68 reports of folding mechanism failures — and 20 injuries that include abrasions, bruises, lacerations and broken bones.</p>

<p>Consumers in possession of these now-recalled scooters are urged to stop using them immediately and contact Segway to request a free maintenance kit. This kit includes tools and step-by-step instructions to inspect and adjust the scooters&#8217; locking mechanism as needed, Segway says.</p>



<p>“Over time, depending on riding conditions, the folding mechanism may require periodic checks and tightening,” California-based Segway writes on its website. “No returns or replacements are involved.”</p>



<p>According to the CPSC, the Segway scooters involved in this recall were manufactured in China and Malaysia and sold at in-person retailers across the U.S. — like Best Buy, Costco, Walmart, Target and Sam’s Club, as well as online at Segway.com and Amazon.com, between January 2020 and February 2025. Sale prices ranged from $600 to $1,000.</p>

				<![CDATA[
<p>Certain cans of green beans sold at Target stores are being recalled over concerns they could be contaminated with a foreign object.</p>



<p>Del Monte Foods, Inc., issued a voluntary recall last month for nearly 200,000 cans of the Target brand Good &amp; Gather Cut Green Beans, according to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/ires/?Product=212582" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Food and Drug Administration</a>.</p>



<p>The FDA did not specify what the foreign object might be.</p>



<div class="wp-block-nbc-html-block html-block"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-recalc-dims="1" style="margin-bottom: 0px" src="https://media.nbcwashington.com//image/upload/t_fit-560w,f_avif,q_auto:eco,dpr_2/rockcms/2025-03/cut-green-beans-good-and-gather-recall-mc-250320-de794f.jpg?w=900&#038;quality=85&#038;strip=all" alt="Green beans" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Target&#8217;s Good &amp; Gather Cut Green Beans. (Target)</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>The agency noted in a report that this is a <a href="https://www.fda.gov/safety/industry-guidance-recalls/recalls-background-and-definitions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Class II recall</a>, which means exposure to a product “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences,” or may indicate a situation in which “probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.”</p>



<p>Canned green beans with the following description are involved in the recall, according to the FDA:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Product name: </strong>Good &amp; Gather Cut Green Beans, Net Wt. 14.5 oz</li>



<li><strong>UPC:</strong> 0 85239-11628 9</li>



<li><strong>Product details:</strong> Best if Used by 28 OCT 2026, Lot 7AA 418507</li>
</ul>



<p>The recall affects cans sold in 21 states: Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This week, certain varieties of Lean Cuisine and Stouffer’s meals were&nbsp;<a href="https://www.today.com/food/recall/lean-cuisine-stouffers-recall-rcna197028" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">also voluntarily recalled</a>&nbsp;over possible foreign object contamination, with the FDA citing the possible presence of “wood-like material” in the packaged meals.</p>



<p>Food recalls involving foreign object contamination are relatively rare; of all the food recalls issued by the FDA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture last year, just over 4% were due to foreign objects, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pirg.org/resources/food-for-thought-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PIRG</a>, a consumer advocacy group.</p>



<p>Last year, the most common cause of food recalls in the U.S. was undeclared allergens (34.1%), followed by listeria contamination (22%).</p>



<p>Multiple food recalls have been&nbsp;<a href="https://www.today.com/health/recall/food-recalls-this-week-march-17-rcna196751" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced this month</a>. On March 13, Trader Joe’s recalled certain lots of Gerolsteiner sparkling water over concerns that in rare cases, the glass bottles holding the water could crack along the bottom.</p>



<p>Certain macaroni and cheese bites sold at Whole Foods were also recalled because they may contain undeclared egg and meat ingredients, according to the FDA.</p>



<p>SeaBear Company also recently recalled two varieties of its seafood chowder due to potential contamination with a bacterium that can cause botulism, a possibly fatal form of food poisoning.</p>

<p>Benadryl sold on Amazon has been recalled due to a lack of child-resistant packaging.</p>



<p>The medicine poses a risk of poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children, according to the <a href="https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2025/Arsell-Recalls-Benadryl-Liquid-Elixir-100-mL-Bottle-Due-to-of-Child-Poisoning-Violation-of-Federal-Regulation-for-Child-Resistant-Packaging-Sold-on-Amazon-com" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2025/Arsell-Recalls-Benadryl-Liquid-Elixir-100-mL-Bottle-Due-to-of-Child-Poisoning-Violation-of-Federal-Regulation-for-Child-Resistant-Packaging-Sold-on-Amazon-com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Consumer Products Safety Commission</a>.</p>



<p>Arsell issued a recall involving about 2,300 bottles of Benadryl Liquid Elixir sold from July 2023 through October 2024.</p>



<p>The 100 mL bottle contains diphenhydramine, which must be in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. </p>

<p>No incidents or injuries related to the recall have been reported.</p>



<p>The product was sold in a round dark plastic bottle with a pink and white label on the front with the word “Benadryl” in blue text. It was packaged in a paper box with the code “X003VRIGUL” at the bottom.</p>



<p>Consumers are advised to keep the Benadryl out of sight and reach of children and contact Arsell for a full refund. They are asked to submit their Amazon order numbers, along with a photo showing disposal of the recalled bottle, to recall@arsellsupport.com.</p>

				<![CDATA[
<p><a href="https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/TSLA/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tesla</a>&nbsp;is recalling more than 46,000 of its Cybertrucks due to a cosmetic exterior trim panel that it said can “delaminate and detach from the vehicle,” potentially becoming a road hazard and “increasing the risk of a crash.”</p>



<p>The voluntary recall covers a part of the vehicle known as a cant rail and affects all Cybertrucks manufactured from November 2023 to February 2025, Tesla wrote in its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/?nhtsaId=25V170000" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">filing</a>&nbsp;to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration dated March 18.</p>



<p>Owners of affected vehicles can take their Cybertrucks to Tesla’s service department for free replacement of the cant rail, the company wrote.</p>



<p>Tesla’s value has dropped by around 40% year to date as <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/tag/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CEO Elon Musk</a> works as a top advisor to <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/tag/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">President Donald Trump</a> and leads the administration’s job-slashing team known as the <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/national-international/what-is-the-department-of-government-efficiency-doge" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Department of Government Efficiency</a>.</p>



<p>Waves of protests against Tesla and Musk have followed some of his political rhetoric and work in <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/tag/trump-administration" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the Trump administration</a>.</p>

<p>Because of its unique design, the angular unpainted steel Cybertruck is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cybertruck-owners-tesla-takedown-protest-harassment-vandalism-2025-3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">frequently targeted</a>&nbsp;by people who oppose Musk. Cybertruck owners have complained online of everything from rude gestures to harassment and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3pY2HVRorg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">vandalism</a>.</p>



<p>Tesla&nbsp;also faces increasing competition in battery electric vehicles, and like other U.S. automakers it is dealing with tariff and trade uncertainty after Trump signed multiple executive orders imposing major new tariffs on goods from Canada, Mexico and mainland China.</p>



<p>Tesla does not break out sales figures by model. However, the recalled vehicles represent a majority of Cybertrucks on the road.</p>



<p>Since Tesla began deliveries of its unusual pickup truck in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/30/tesla-set-to-reveal-cybertruck-details-at-austin-deliveries-event.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">November 2023</a>, the Cybertruck has been plagued by manufacturing problems and quality issues. The NHTSA’s website reflects that there have been nine recalls of the Cybertruck.</p>



<p>Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment.</p>



<p>On Thursday, The Information&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theinformation.com/articles/exclusive-electric-tesla-plans-soon-introduce-long-awaited-battery-innovation-cybertrucks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>&nbsp;that Tesla plans to introduce Cybertruck battery tech in 2025 that would “sharply decrease battery manufacturing costs,” citing a senior executive.</p>



<p>“The adhesive used to hold the piece can fail, causing the cant rail to separate from the vehicle,” read a portion of a statement from NHTSA. “Tesla is not aware of any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to the issue.”</p>



<p>The NHTSA said Tesla implemented the recall after “discussions” with the automotive safety agency. They also noted that vehicle owners with a safety complaint or concern can fill out a&nbsp;<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem*index__;Iw!!PIZeeW5wscynRQ!q__Q1Mhfjwm5UmQJeepoZJaBbwZU3DfwSOQqPWggNlrdQmKT_oYhPninwYyhHM2ff7LTcmMOcF13HYCHm3RBfk-cNQ$" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vehicle Owner’s Questionnaire</a>&nbsp;online, or call the agency’s hotline to let regulators know there may be an issue. The number is:&nbsp;888-327-4236.</p>

				<![CDATA[
<p>Amid egg shortages and soaring prices, some consumers are taking a crack at a fresh alternative — they&#8217;re turning to companies that let them rent their chickens.</p>



<p>Ever thought of raising your own backyard chickens? It doesn&#8217;t have to be difficult. Companies such as <a href="https://www.rentthechicken.com/">Rent the Chicken</a> can do most of the hard work for you. </p>



<p>Rent the Chicken connects farmers with people across the United States. A local farmer will deliver a portable coop to your home. A standard rental comes with two chickens.</p>

<p>&#8220;If you want the deluxe, you get four chickens,&#8221; said Homestead Glenda, who co-owns <a href="https://www.rentthechicken.com/p/greater-washington-dc-baltimore-areas.html">a farm in Manassas</a> that serves D.C.-area residents through both <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://www.rentthechicken.com/p/greater-washington-dc-baltimore-areas.html" target="_blank">Rent The Chicken</a> and <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://www.rentthechicken.com/p/md-dc-nova-hatch-chicken.html" target="_blank">Hatch The Chicken</a>.</p>



<p>Generally, a chicken will produce one egg each day. If you rent two, that&#8217;ll get you about 14 eggs per week.</p>



<p>&#8220;As long as you don&#8217;t wash them, you can leave them on the counter for up to a month,&#8221; Homestead Glenda told us.</p>



<p>Along with the chickens and coop, you&#8217;ll get enough chicken feed for your entire rental period, along with supplies. A standard rental with two chickens costs $495 for six months, while four chickens will cost $959. </p>



<p>So, while you may not actually save money on eggs, you can enjoy the experience. Obviously, you&#8217;re going to get fresh eggs each day, but kids (and adults) can love the experience of having chickens.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re worried about the noise, Homestead Glenda says chickens are not as loud as roosters. Of course, you will need to make sure your county or jurisdiction allows chickens. (If your neighbors complain, offer them some free eggs.)</p>



<p>Chickens are typically friendly, and they can make great pets. If you end up loving them, you can actually choose to buy them at the end of your rental period.</p>

				<![CDATA[
<p>Triangle Tube gas boilers across the country have been recalled due to carbon monoxide concerns.</p>



<p>The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Triangle Tube <a href="https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2025/Triangle-Tube-Recalls-Prestige-and-Aerco-Esteem-Gas-Boilers-Due-to-Carbon-Monoxide-CO-Poisoning-Hazard-Two-Deaths-Reported" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">announced Thursday</a> that the Prestige Solo, Prestige Excellence and Aerco Esteem condensing gas boilers have been recalled.</p>



<p>The boilers were found to be releasing carbon monoxide due to delayed ignitions or component damage. Two people died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning, including a 47-year-old woman in 2015 and an 85-year-old man in 2016.</p>



<p>More than 60,000 products sold in the U.S. since 2011 are impacted by the recall, plus another 7,500 sold in Canada. There have been 25 reports of carbon monoxide leaks from the recalled boilers.</p>



<p>Consumers with recalled boilers should contact Triangle Tube via phone, email or <a href="https://triangletube.com/products/product-recall/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">online</a> to set up an inspection, with free replacements available if necessary.</p>

<p>Food service company Lyons Magnus&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/lyons-magnus-recalls-lyons-readycare-and-sysco-imperial-frozen-supplemental-shakes-manufactured-by-third-party-because-of-possible-health-risk-302382823.html" target="_blank">said in a statement</a> Saturday it was voluntarily recalling all 4 oz. packs of Lyons ReadyCare and Sysco Imperial Frozen Supplemental Shakes, in response to a recall from manufacturer Prairie Farms, based in Fort Wayne, Indiana.&nbsp;</p>



<p>As of Friday, 38 people have been infected across 21 states. Of these, 27 were hospitalized and 11 died — although the FDA did not say when these deaths took place and said the outbreak can be traced back seven years.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Some 34 victims were either residents in long-term care facilities or had already been hospitalized. Records from the facilities involved showed that the shakes were available to residents and patients, the FDA said.</p>



<p>The FDA said it was first notified of an outbreak of Listeria monocytogenes linked to the product on Nov. 25 last year &#8220;with many ill people residing in long-term care facilities (LTCF) prior to illness onset.&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8220;As soon as Lyons Magnus learned of the issue, it took immediate action to halt the purchase of all products from the affected Prairie Farms facility, notify customers, and ensure that impacted products were removed from distribution nationally,&#8221; the company said in its statement.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The FDA said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that this outbreak can be traced back to 2018, although it was not clear exactly how, when or where the infections were reported.</p>



<p>Symptoms of Listeriosis, a listeria infection, typically start two weeks after eating contaminated food but can start up to 10 weeks later. These may include fever, muscle aches and nausea and in serious cases confusion, stiff neck and convulsions. Pregnant women, people over the age of 65 and those with weakened immune systems are most at risk.</p>



<p>An infant died and 10 adults were sickened amid a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/infant-dies-10-sickened-listeria-outbreak-tied-ready-eat-meat-rcna181459" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">four-state listeria outbreak</a>&nbsp;connected to ready-to-eat meat products last year.</p>

				<![CDATA[
<p>A popular granola bar brand sold at retailers across the country has voluntarily recalled more than 2.4 million cases of bars due to &#8220;potential presence of a piece of metal&#8221; inside the product, a release from the Food and Drug Administration said. </p>



<p>The recall was initiated Dec. 9, 2024 by Chicago-based Riverside Natural Foods Inc., the FDA said, and applies to a variety of different granola bars from the brand MadeGood. On Feb. 11, the FDA labeled the recall as &#8220;<a href="https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/ires/?Product=211502" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/ires/?Product=211502">Class II</a>,&#8221; which indicates the products, if consumed, could cause &#8220;temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.&#8221; </p>



<p>In a Q&amp;A on their site, <a href="https://madegoodfoods.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/31692468452251-MadeGood-Granola-Bar-Voluntary-Recall" data-type="link" data-id="https://madegoodfoods.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/31692468452251-MadeGood-Granola-Bar-Voluntary-Recall" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MadeGood</a> said it initiated the recall &#8220;out of an abundance of caution and commitment to the well-being of our valued customers.&#8221; </p>



<p>According to the FDA, an investigation revealed the issue found was in the manufacturing process of specific batches. MadeGood said the piece of metal &#8212; described as &#8220;a small, flat brush bristle&#8221; &#8212; is &#8220;highly unlikely&#8221; to be present in one of its granola bars. </p>



<p>&#8220;We received seven complaints out of the hundreds of millions of bars sold, and no injuries have been reported,&#8221; the brand said. Consumers who have purchased the products are advised to return them to their point of purchase for a full refund. </p>



<p>The FDA added that the company has &#8220;remediated the issue&#8221; and tested a new process to &#8220;ensure that any future risk is fully mitigated.&#8221; </p>



<p>MadeGood describes their granola bar products as &#8220;healthier&#8221; snack alternatives that are organic and allergen-friendly. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-nbc-section-heading">Which products were recalled? </h2>



<p>The products were produced between January 2024 and November 2024 and distributed throughout Canada, the U.S. and other international markets, the FDA said. </p>

				<![CDATA[
<p>Igloo coolers have been recalled over a major safety concern.</p>



<p>The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2025/Igloo-Recalls-More-Than-One-Million-90-Quart-Rolling-Coolers-Due-to-Fingertip-Amputation-and-Crushing-Hazards" target="_blank">shared Thursday</a> that Igloo 90-quart flip and tow rolling coolers have been recalled due to a risk of fingertip amputation and crushing hazards.</p>



<p>The tow handle can pinch consumers&#8217; fingertips against the cooler, which leads to the risk. The firm has received 12 reports of injuries, including fingertip amputations, bone fractures and lacerations.</p>



<p>There were about 1,060,000 coolers sold in the U.S. from January 2019 through January 2025 that should be replaced, regardless of if they were bought at Costco, Target, Dick&#8217;s, Amazon, Igloo online or elsewhere.

<p><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.lg.com/us/" target="_blank">LG</a> has <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/recall-alert" target="_blank">recalled</a> around 500,000 electric ranges following several fires, property damage, and reports of minor injuries and pet deaths.</p>



<p>A <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2025/LG-Recalls-Electric-Ranges-Due-to-Fire-Hazard" target="_blank">posting from the Consumer Product Safety Commission</a> on Thursday said the front-mounted knobs on the recalled ranges can be activated by accidental contact from humans or pets, creating a fire hazard.</p>



<p>The CPSC said it&#8217;s received at least 86 reports of the recalled ranges being accidentally turned on. The ranges have been involved in more than 28 fires, with at least five fires causing over $340,000 in total property damage, according to the CPSC. There have been at least eight reports of minor injuries and three reports of fires involving pet deaths, the CPSC said.</p>



<p>The recall includes 22 models of slide-in and freestanding ranges, according to the CPSC. They were sold from 2015 through January 2025 nationwide at appliance stores like Best Buy, Costco, The Home Depot and Lowe&#8217;s, and online at LG.com. The <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2025/LG-Recalls-Electric-Ranges-Due-to-Fire-Hazard" target="_blank">CPSC website has a full list of recalled model numbers</a>, which can be found inside the oven door or storage drawer.</p>



<p>Owners of the recalled ranges are instructed to contact LG for a free warning label, which includes a reminder to use the lock out/control lock function. The function, which can be found on the control panel, disables activation of heating elements when the appliance isn&#8217;t being used, according to the CPSC.</p>



<p>Consumers are also advised to keep children and pets away from the ranges, to check that the knobs aren&#8217;t activated before leaving home or going to sleep, and not to leave objects on the ranges when not in use.</p>

<p>The pet food company Blue Ridge Beef is recalling 5,700 pounds of its two-pound bags of Natural Mix dog food sold in eight states due to a salmonella contamination.</p>



<p>Samples of the dog food collected on Jan. 8 were found to have salmonella bacteria after being tested by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture Food and Drug Protection Laboratory, according to a&nbsp;<a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/blue-ridge-beef-issues-recall-blue-ridge-beef-natural-mix-due-salmonella-contamination" target="_blank">release by the Food &amp; Drug Administration</a>.</p>



<p>The North Carolina-based Blue Ridge Beef was notified by the FDA on Jan. 27 about the salmonella contamination.</p>



<p>The products were sold between Jan. 3 and Jan. 24 in retail stores in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Tennessee and Rhode Island, according to the FDA.</p>



<p>Salmonella infections in pets can cause diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, vomiting, fever, abdominal pain and decreased appetite, per the FDA. Pets with salmonella infections can also infect other humans and other animals. Anyone whose pet has shown symptoms after consuming the recalled product is urged to contact a veterinarian.</p>



<p>There also is risk to humans of getting a salmonella infection from handling the recalled pet food.</p>



<p>Anyone who did not thoroughly wash their hands after handling the affected dog food or touched surfaces exposed to the product could potentially get a salmonella infection.</p>



<p>It can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping and fever as well as more serious conditions like arterial infections, endocarditis, arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation and urinary tract symptoms, according to the FDA.</p>



<p>Anyone who purchased the recalled product is urged to return it or throw it out in a way that it can&#8217;t be accessed by children, pets and wildlife, the FDA advises.</p>



<p>The product should also not be fed to any other animals or donated. Pet food bowls, cups and storage containers should also be washed and sanitized, according to the FDA.</p>

<p>According to the FDA, bottles of the product may contain sriracha sauce, which contains sulfites not listed on the habanero buffalo sauce label. People who are allergic to these sulfites run the risk of serious and potentially life-threatening allergic reactions if consumed. </p>



<p>The impacted products were distributed between Feb. 5 and March 26. The best-by date is located on the top of the side of the 2 fl. oz bottles, on the back label for the 20 oz bottles, on top of the cap for the 12 fl. oz and half gallon jugs.</p>



<p>The company is also recalling select lots and sizes of Texas Pete Sweet CHAbanero Sauce because the bottles fail to contain the labeled ingredient &#8220;aged peppers.&#8221; </p>



<p>No illnesses have been reported to date, according to the FDA. </p>

								<description>
				<![CDATA[
<p>Alarms are being sounded about an old recall after a number of chocolate products sold in several states and online were given a new warning because federal officials said they could “cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”</p>



<p>The FDA announce the<a href="https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/cal-yee-farm-llc-issues-allergy-alert-undeclared-milk-soy-wheat-sesame-fdc-6-and-almonds-snack" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> initial recall last year</a> over a list of chocolate items sold from <a href="https://calyeefarm.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cal Yee Farm</a>, a company based in California. That original warning marked items like chocolate walnuts, chocolate raisins, chocolate almonds, yogurt coated almonds and chocolate apricots because they may contain undeclared ingredients. Find the full list <a href="https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/cal-yee-farm-llc-issues-allergy-alert-undeclared-milk-soy-wheat-sesame-fdc-6-and-almonds-snack#recall-announcement" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>. </p>



<p>According to the recall, the items were sold across nine states, including Pennsylvania, California, Arizona, Virginia, New Mexico, Texas, Tennessee, Oregon and Ohio. The company has an online store as well. </p>



<p>There were no illnesses reported related to the chocolate goods at the time of the recall, the FDA said. </p>



<p>At least three of those products, however, were recently elevated to Class 1 because they contain undeclared milk. That classification is among the highest for the feds and is used to warn consumers of potentially life-threatening concerns. </p>

<p>The FDA says a Class 1 recall is for a &#8220;situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.&#8221; </p>



<p>The upgraded recall concerns Cal Yee Farm&#8217;s dark chocolate almonds, dark chocolate apricots and dark chocolate Walnuts. </p>



<p>The FDA advised anyone who has purchased any of the recalled items to dispose of them or return them for a full refund. </p>



<p>The California company released a statement in response to the original recall: &#8220;We did a voluntary recall on undeclared milk, soy, wheat, sesame, FD&amp;C #6 and almonds in snack products, due to outdated labels which did not specify allergen statement. Labels are now consistent with known allergens.&#8221;</p>

				<![CDATA[
<p><a href="https://www.honda.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">American Honda</a> is voluntarily recalling around 295,000 Acura and Honda vehicles in the U.S. over a risk of engine issues.</p>



<p>The car manufacturer <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://hondanews.com/en-US/releases/release-e4e72a01e246a738c5d003060c059b8e-american-honda-recalls-295000-vehicles-in-the-us-to-update-fuel-injection-software" target="_blank">said in a release</a> Wednesday that sudden changes in the throttle of affected vehicles could illuminate the check engine light and cause the engine to hesitate, stall or lose drive power, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.</p>



<p>American Honda said the recalled vehicles have fuel injection electronic control units (FI-ECU) with improper programming, which could lead to the engine problems. The company said it self-diagnosed the issue through the monitoring of telematics information.</p>



<p>The recall includes certain 2023-25 Honda Pilot, 2022-25 Acura MDX Type S and 2021-25 Acura TLX Type S vehicles. Authorized Honda and Acura dealerships will update the FI-ECU software on affected vehicles for free, the company said.</p>



<p>American Honda said it hasn&#8217;t received any confirmed reports of crashes or injuries related to the issue.</p>



<p>&#8220;American Honda is announcing this recall to encourage owners of affected vehicles to take them to an authorized dealer for repair as soon as they receive notification,&#8221; the company said.</p>



<p>Letters notifying owners of affected vehicles are expected to be mailed on March 17, <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/search-safety-issues#recall" target="_blank">according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration</a>.</p>



<p>Those looking to confirm whether their vehicle is included in the recall can visit <a href="https://owners.honda.com/service-maintenance/recalls">Recalls.Honda.com</a> or <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://owners.acura.com/service-maintenance/recalls" target="_blank">Recalls.Acura.com</a>, or call Honda at 888-234-2138.</p>

				<![CDATA[
<p>Wegmans is recalling frozen chicken nuggets in eight states and the District of Columbia because there may be bone fragments in the packages.</p>



<p>A public health alert was issued for frozen, fully cooked Wegmans breaded chicken breast nuggets by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, with hopes of making sure customers are aware that they shouldn&#8217;t eat them. A typical recall from the agency wasn&#8217;t issued because the product is no longer for sale.</p>



<p>The alert covers 46 ounce plastic packages containing “Wegmans Family Pack Fully Cooked Breaded Chicken Breast with Rib Meat” with a best if used by date of Aug. 26, 2025. That is located on the back of the packaging next to the barcode in the lower right corner. The product was produced on Aug. 26, 2024.</p>



<p>The nuggets were made for Wegmans Food Markets and distributed in Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.</p>



<p>The Food Safety and Inspection Service said that it was notified of the issue after Wegmans received multiple consumer complaints of bone fragments in the product.</p>



<p>There have been no confirmed reports of injury due to consumption. </p>



<p>The Food Safety and Inspection Service said that it is concerned that consumers may still have some of the nugget packages in their freezers. Consumers who still have packages are urged not to eat the product, and to throw it away or return it to the store where it was purchased. </p>



<p>Wegmans said that all packages can be returned for a full refund.</p>



<p>Customers can contact Wegmans Food Markets at 1-855-934-3663 Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm or Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. </p>

								<excerpt><![CDATA[Here’s what to know about the real costs of egg freezing and what to know before you start.]]></excerpt>
								<description>
				<![CDATA[
<p>When Kristen Kelly was in her mid-30s, she was single, had a good career and wasn’t thinking yet about having kids. That all changed when her girlfriends gave her a wakeup call.</p>



<p>“I was on a girls’ trip and essentially my friends had an intervention,” she said.</p>



<p>They told her if she wants to have kids someday, she needed to freeze her eggs soon.</p>



<p>Realizing how much harder it could be to get pregnant as she got older, Kelly decided to freeze her eggs and wait for Mr. Right – who came along soon after she started the process.</p>



<p>“We got married within a year and we both got tested and tried to have kids for six months,” she said. “And it was like, you know what? The clock’s ticking. I’m 38 now. We should probably … I’ve got these eggs frozen.”</p>



<p>Egg freezing jumped by more than 880% in the U.S. in 2021 from the prior year. Here’s what to know about the real costs of egg freezing and what to know before you start.</p>



<p>Women who freeze their eggs at a younger age have a higher chance of pregnancy because egg quality decreases with age, fertility experts say. But freezing your eggs isn’t cheap:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>One cycle of egg freezing can cost $5,000 to $8,000 on average</li>



<li>The cost of medications can range from $4,000 to $6,000</li>



<li>Then, egg storage can cost $500 to $1,000 per year</li>
</ul>



<p>“Cost is a big factor when patients are coming to me seeking fertility preservation or fertility treatments, and how we decide to move forward, said Dr. Anne Martini, with CCRM Fertility.</p>



<p>The reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialist said it’s important for anyone considering egg freezing to look at the cost, especially because multiple egg freezing cycles may be necessary.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-nbc-section-heading">What to ask a fertility clinic about egg freezing</h2>



<p>Martini recommended asking clinics about their success in having babies by using eggs at their facility.</p>



<p>Fertility IQ advised asking a clinic about their oocyte cryosurvival rate, which is the percentage of frozen eggs that survives when a lab warms them. A passable score is about 80%, they say.</p>



<p>They also recommended finding out if the clinic runs its own internal frozen egg donor program; those with such a program are generally more experienced, they said.</p>



<p>Health insurance may cover some parts of the egg freezing process, including diagnosis and a consultation with a doctor. But since egg freezing is considered elective by most insurance companies, the rest of the cost is likely yours to pay.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-nbc-section-heading">Some ways to pay for egg freezing</h2>



<p>Here are some possible ways to pay:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Shared egg freezing allows people to freeze their eggs for free if they participate in some egg donor programs</li>



<li>Financing, including loans and payment plans are often available</li>



<li>Employee benefits can help</li>



<li>Check your flexible savings account and health savings account</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-nbc-section-heading">Beyond the financial toll, here’s what else to consider</h2>



<p>Figuring out how to pay for egg freezing can be tough. Then there’s the emotional toll. Patients take daily shots, plus medications that can wreak havoc on your hormones. Also, the first round sometimes doesn’t work.</p>



<p>“There are some very high highs in my job and some very low lows, and you have to have hard conversations,” Martini said.</p>



<p>Kelly, who froze her eggs, paid out of pocket and used her HSA. In the end, it was all worth it for her family, which now includes two healthy children.</p>



<p>“I&#8217;m so thankful that we have our two boys, and they&#8217;re wonderful. But, I mean, it was a challenge to get there, and it was expensive. And I realize that there&#8217;s not a lot of people that are able to financially afford it,” she said.</p>



<p>D.C. and some states, including Maryland, require health insurance coverage for fertility preservation including egg freezing, but only as a preventative measure for some medical conditions, such as prior to cancer treatments.</p>

<p>The impacted products were distributed between Feb. 5 and March 26. The best-by date is located on the top of the side of the 2 fl. oz bottles, on the back label for the 20 oz bottles, on top of the cap for the 12 fl. oz and half gallon jugs.</p>



<p>The company is also recalling select lots and sizes of Texas Pete Sweet CHAbanero Sauce because the bottles fail to contain the labeled ingredient &#8220;aged peppers.&#8221; </p>
