PFAS are linked to various health problems, including cancer and reproductive issues.

A season ticket holder has filed a lawsuit against Kennywood amusement park in Western Pennsylvania, alleging that the park withheld information about the closure of its Steel Curtain roller coaster for the 2024 season. The lawsuit claims that Kennywood and its parent company enticed customers to purchase season passes under the assumption that the roller coaster would be operational. However, the park allegedly knew in advance that the coaster would be closed but concealed that information to avoid losing business. The lawsuit argues that these actions violate the state’s unfair trade practices and consumer protection laws. The plaintiff, Joshua Miller, is seeking $100 per violation for himself and anyone else who purchased a 2024 season pass prior to the announcement of the closure.
A second lawsuit has been filed against NFL receiver Rashee Rice in connection with a crash on U.S. 75 in Dallas last month. The lawsuit, which alleges negligence, seeks more than $1 million and a jury trial. The suit was filed in Dallas County District Court on April 4. A previous lawsuit named both Rice and SMU player Teddy Knox, who was also arrested in the crash. The latest lawsuit does not name Knox but lists a “John Doe” as an additional defendant. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Kamlesh Desai, who was driving a Toyota Sienna minivan on U.S. 75 when the crash happened. The lawsuit alleges that Rice’s crash caused a chain reaction that slammed into the Sienna. Dashcam footage from the crash shows one of the speeding vehicles crashing into the left rear of the Sienna, knocking the vehicle sideways. Desai “suffered bodily injuries” that “may be permanent in nature,” the lawsuit said. A previous lawsuit filed against Rice and Teddy Knox alleged that two victims suffered multiple injuries, including brain trauma, lacerations and contusions, disfigurement and internal bleeding. That initial lawsuit is seeking more than $10 million.
The U.S. Senate has passed legislation giving TikTok’s Chinese owner, ByteDance, nine months to divest the app’s U.S. assets or face a nationwide ban. If ByteDance is close to divestment near the end of the period, the president can authorize an additional 90 days. The bill sets the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit as the exclusive forum for any legal challenges. TikTok is expected to sue to stop the bill and request a preliminary injunction, halting the forced sale process. The TikTok app is not expected to change for its 170 million U.S. users until the end of the divestment period in early 2025.
