Quaker Oats class action lawsuit settlement: Here's a list of products eligible for refunds

Hindustan Times24-05-2025

Quaker Oats has agreed to pay out $6.75 million to settle the lawsuit that claimed it misled consumers by selling some snacks and cereals as safe, although they were actually contaminated with salmonella.
Notably, the lawsuit was filed after the recalls of several Quaker products in December 2023 and January 2024. Concerns led to the recall because several packages were produced at a facility that tested positive for salmonella.
Quaker hasn't admitted to any wrongdoing, but it has agreed to a settlement.
Now, if you purchased one or more of the recalled products, you may be eligible for a full or partial refund.

With proof of purchase (such as receipts), you can receive a full refund of the recalled items you bought.
Without proof, you can still get a refund for up to two products, based on average retail price, plus 10% for sales tax.
If you have already received a reimbursement from Quaker, that amount will be deducted from your settlement.
Deadline to submit a claim: June 27, 2025
Deadline to opt out or object: June 27, 2025
Final approval hearing: August 4, 2025

Capitol Hill civil war: US Senate, House on collision course over Trump's ‘One Big Beautiful Bill'

Though most Senate Republicans exited a closed-door briefing without publicly opposing the measure, several are raising serious concerns, casting doubt on whether the bill has enough support to pass read more Senate Republicans are grappling with growing internal divisions over a revised version of former President Donald Trump's sweeping second-term legislative agenda, informally dubbed the 'One Big Beautiful Bill.' The latest proposal, unveiled by the Senate Finance Committee, outlines a $5 trillion increase to the nation's borrowing authority, $1 trillion more than the House version, setting the stage for a potential standoff between the two chambers of Congress. Though most Senate Republicans exited a closed-door briefing without publicly opposing the measure, several are raising serious concerns, casting doubt on whether the bill has enough support to pass. Senate Majority Leader John Thune can afford to lose only three Republican votes on the Senate floor, and while no senators have explicitly pledged to vote against it, the vocal unease suggests a rocky path forward. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD House, Senate diverge on key provisions A major source of contention lies in the bill's fiscal and healthcare measures. The Senate version includes stricter Medicaid changes than the House's, in addition to preserving the $10,000 cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions, a sticking point for moderate House Republicans from high-tax states who had secured a deal to raise the cap to $40,000 in their chamber's version. The Senate bill also proposes phasing out green energy tax credits and making permanent the corporate tax cuts enacted in 2017 during Trump's first term. It includes a campaign pledge to shield tipped workers' income from federal taxation. Medicaid cuts prompt GOP pushback One of the most contentious provisions is the reduction of healthcare provider taxes in Medicaid expansion states from 6% to 3.5% by 2031. Critics say the current tax model allows states to artificially increase their federal reimbursements, an approach some Republicans label 'money laundering.' However, slashing provider taxes could punch holes in state Medicaid budgets and impact hospital funding, especially in red states. Additionally, the Senate proposal would block non-expansion states from raising provider tax rates to draw more federal dollars. Two GOP aides noted the draft legislation goes further than the House version in tightening Medicaid eligibility requirements, a move the White House has cautiously supported to reduce potential program abuse, while still upholding Trump's pledge to protect federal health benefits. CBO flags $863b in Medicaid, CHIP cuts The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the House version of the bill would cut $863 billion from Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) over the next decade. The figure is likely to intensify scrutiny from within the Republican Party and draw significant public attention, especially from healthcare advocates and state officials. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Security concerns rise amid legislative tensions Amid the policy debates, lawmakers are also confronting rising safety concerns. In the wake of recent shootings involving two Minnesota state legislators and their spouses, incidents that left two people dead, members from both parties are calling for improved security measures for Congress and their families. Discussions involving House and Senate leadership, the U.S. Capitol Police, and other officials are underway as tensions on Capitol Hill continue to rise.

Trump Mobile copying Obama's phone strategy? Here's how the two plans are different

President Donald Trump and his family announced a new line of business in partnership with three major US carriers. On Monday, the Trump Organization announced Trump Mobile, which will offer 5G service with an unlimited plan priced at $47.45 per month. Customers will also have an option to switch to Trump Mobile's T1 Mobile service using their current phone. Trump Mobile plans to release the 'T1 Phone' in August. It has been described as 'a sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States for customers who expect the best from their mobile carrier'. 'Trump Mobile is going to change the game. We're building on the movement to put America first, and we will deliver the highest levels of quality and service. Our company is based right here in the United States because we know it's what our customers want and deserve," Trump Jr said in a statement.

Odisha government to set up CoE on semiconductors at IIIT-BBS

BHUBANESWAR: In a major push to develop an ecosystem on emerging technologies, the Odisha government has mooted a proposal to set up a Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Semiconductors at the International Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Bhubaneswar. The initiative, to be supported by the Electronics and Information Technology (E&IT) department, aims at strengthening Odisha's capabilities in semiconductor research, development, manufacturing, and advanced skill-building. The decision was taken after Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi directed the department to rope in IIIT, Bhubaneswar for the CoE in view of the growing interest of industries in investing in the semiconductor sector in the state, particularly following the recent strategic push to support the electronics manufacturing ecosystem. Although the semiconductor sector holds immense potential for industrial growth, innovation and creation of high-value jobs, unavailability of skilled and industry-ready professionals continues to pose a significant challenge. 'There is an urgent need for a robust talent pipeline and a strong support ecosystem to ensure Odisha's competitiveness in this critical sector. The institute's existing infrastructure, faculty strength, and technological focus make it a suitable choice to anchor such an ambitious initiative,' said a senior official. The proposed centre will not only provide advanced training and capacity-building opportunities but will also facilitate cutting-edge research and development in semiconductor technologies. The state government will provide necessary financial and administrative support for the establishment of the CoE. The E&IT department has asked the IIIT, Bhubaneswar to submit a detailed proposal outlining the academic framework with focus on advanced training, research and innovation in semiconductor technologies by June 30. In a parallel academic initiative, the institute has also been advised to introduce post-graduate diploma and certificate courses in advanced semiconductor engineering starting from the 2026-27 academic year. 'The CoE is being planned in addition to the state's own initiative - Odisha Chip (O-Chip), which will address the difficulties experienced by the fabless ecosystem, and help set up a state-of-the-art facility for semiconductor designing and manufacturing,' the official said. The state government has already introduced a 'Semiconductor Manufacturing and Fabless Policy' and recently issued operational guidelines for facilitating investments and disbursing capital investment subsidies for projects.
