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

Trump's approval rating falls to all-time low amid protests & job losses

As US President Donald Trump continues with his unrestrained agenda that has caused job losses and massive protests, his approval ratings fallen to an all-time low of 40%. The situation is that most Americans disapprove than approve his immigration policy, which has been his strongest area. read more Amid mass protests and job losses as a result of his policies, US President Donald Trump's approval rating fell to an all-time low in June. Just 40 per cent of Americans approve of Trump whereas 56 per cent disapprove him, according to a Yahoo News/YouGov survey conducted on June 26-30. The findings were published shortly after it emerged that the US private sector cut around 33,000 jobs in sharp contrast to adding around 100,000 jobs in May. This was the first time in years that the US private sector lost jobs instead of adding new jobs. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The approval ratings have also tanked amid mass protests over Trump immigration agenda that has involved indiscriminate raids on the streets and workplaces, aggressively rounding up even law-abiding legal immigrants and US citizens. Last month, Trump deployed military against own citizens in California to crush protests against his immigration raids. The blowback is such that most Americans disapprove than approve Trump's immigration policy, which had been his strongest area for a long time. Trump's approval falls to historic low — even on immigration With 40 per cent approval, Trump has not just hit the worst of his presidential career but has fallen much lower than his predecessors Joe Biden and Barack Obama, both of whom enjoyed net positive approval at this point in their terms. Between March and June, Trump's approval fell from 44 per cent to 40 per cent and disapproval rose from 50 per cent to 56 per cent. The trend was visible on immigration as well as more Americans approved (48 per cent) than disapproved (44 per cent) Trump's immigration's agenda in March, but that has changed in recent months. Now more Americans disapprove than approve Trump's immigration agenda. Trump's disapproval on immigration rose to 46 per cent in April, 48 per cent in May, and 52 per cent in June (with just 44 per cent Americans approving it). In short, Trump's net positive rating of +4 in March has now turned to a net negative (-8) in June. Trump far behind Obama, Biden At this point in his term, Trump is far behind than Obama and Biden in popularity — the leaders he has spent years mocking. While Trump's net approval is -16, Obama at this point in his term had +16 approval and Biden had +7. The situation is such that even blocs that swayed to Trump in the 2024 election are now miffed with him. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD For example, Latinos, who voted for Trump in record numbers in the 2024 election, have a disapproval rating of 62 per cent for Trump and just 19 per cent approval.

Bush, Obama, singer Bono rebuke Trump for dismantling USAID on agency's last day

Former Presidents Barack Obama and George W Bush delivered rare open criticism of the Trump administration — and singer Bono recited a poem — in an emotional video farewell Monday with staffers of the US Agency for International Development. USAID logo and US flag are seen in this illustration.(REUTERS) Obama called the Trump administration's dismantling of USAID 'a colossal mistake.' Monday was the last day as an independent agency for the six-decade-old humanitarian and development organization, created by President John F. Kennedy as a peaceful way of promoting U.S. national security by boosting goodwill and prosperity abroad. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ordered USAID absorbed into the State Department on Tuesday. The former presidents and Bono spoke with thousands in the USAID community in a videoconference, which was billed as a closed-press event to allow political leaders and others privacy for sometimes angry and often teary remarks. Parts of the video were shared with The Associated Press. They expressed their appreciation for the thousands of USAID staffers who have lost their jobs and life's work. Their agency was one of the first and most fiercely targeted for government-cutting by President Donald Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk, with staffers abruptly locked out of systems and offices and terminated by mass emailing. Trump claimed the agency was run by 'radical left lunatics' and rife with 'tremendous fraud.' Musk called it 'a criminal organization.' Obama, speaking in a recorded statement, offered assurances to the aid and development workers, some listening from overseas. "Your work has mattered and will matter for generations to come,' he told them. Obama has largely kept a low public profile during Trump's second term and refrained from criticizing the monumental changes that Trump has made to US programs and priorities at home and abroad. 'Gutting USAID is a travesty, and it's a tragedy. Because it's some of the most important work happening anywhere in the world,' Obama said. He credited USAID with not only saving lives, but being a main factor in global economic growth that has turned some aid-receiving countries into US markets and trade partners. The former Democratic president predicted that 'sooner or later, leaders on both sides of the aisle will realize how much you are needed." Asked for comment, the State Department said it would be introducing the department's foreign assistance successor to USAID, to be called America First, this week. 'The new process will ensure there is proper oversight and that every tax dollar spent will help advance our national interests,' the department said. USAID oversaw programs around the world, providing water and life-saving food to millions uprooted by conflict in Sudan, Syria, Gaza and elsewhere, sponsoring the 'Green Revolution' that revolutionized modern agriculture and curbed starvation and famine, preventing disease outbreaks, promoting democracy, and providing financing and development that allowed countries and people to climb out of poverty. Bush, who also spoke in a recorded message, went straight to the cuts in a landmark AIDS and HIV program started by his Republican administration and credited with saving 25 million lives around the world. Bipartisan blowback from Congress to cutting the popular President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, known as PEPFAR, helped save significant funding for the program. But cuts and rule changes have reduced the number getting the life-saving care. 'You've showed the great strength of America through your work — and that is your good heart,'' Bush told USAID staffers. 'Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you," he said. Former Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, former Colombian President Juan Manual Santos and former US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield also spoke to the staffers. So did humanitarian workers, including one who spoke of the welcome appearance of USAID staffers with food when she was a frightened 8-year-old child in a camp for Liberian refugees. A World Food Program official vowed through sobs that the US aid mission would be back someday. Bono, a longtime humanitarian advocate in Africa and elsewhere, was announced as the 'surprise guest,' in shades and a cap. He jokingly hailed the USAID staffers as 'secret agents of international development' in acknowledgment of the down-low nature of Monday's unofficial gathering of the USAID community. Bono spoke passionately as he recited a poem he had written to the agency and its gutting. He spoke of children dying of malnutrition, in a reference to people — millions, experts have said — who will die because of the U.S cuts to funding for health and other programs abroad. 'They called you crooks. When you were the best of us,' Bono said.

Are U.S. Presidents selling war for profit?

Behind the pomp of presidential summits and NATO handshakes lies an uncomfortable truth—America's foreign policy isn't driven by diplomacy, but by the defence lobby's bottom line. From Obama's Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech to Trump's brash missile marketing, every US president has doubled as the world's most powerful arms dealer. The numbers don't lie. Defence giants like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Raytheon pump over 80 million annually into lobbying, with nearly 280 million flowing to political campaigns since 1990. This isn't charity—it's investment in influence. Every dollar spent returns tenfold in government contracts and overseas sales NATO's latest pledge makes this crystal clear. By 2035, member states must spend 5% of GDP on "defence"—a windfall wrapped in security rhetoric. Buried in the fine print: 3.5% goes directly to military kit, much of it stamped "Made in USA." European taxpayers will fund American factories whilst their own public services face the revolving door spins faster than a Chinook's rotors. Pentagon officials become corporate executives, senators join defence boards, and generals turn consultant. This ensures continuity regardless of election results—the real winners remain never bothered with subtlety, openly flogging Patriot missiles at NATO summits like a market trader hawking knockoff watches. Biden played the statesman whilst quietly expediting record arms transfers to Ukraine. Obama collected his peace prize then approved 135 billion in weapons sales. Different styles, identical tragedy became America's opportunity. Every HIMARS rocket fired was a billboard for US firepower. Every Patriot battery deployed was a sales demonstration. Zelensky's desperate pleas for seven more systems weren't just about survival—they were free advertising for American defence human cost is staggering, but so is the opportunity cost. Half of America's discretionary budget feeds the military machine whilst schools crumble and hospitals close. NATO's spending spree threatens similar austerity across isn't foreign policy—it's product placement with geopolitical consequences. When the next crisis erupts, remember: someone dies, but someone else gets rich. In America's war economy, that's not a bug—it's the entire bloody point.- Ends
