Pennsylvania family files lawsuit against TikTok after attorney says girl died trying social media challenge

PHILADELPHIA - A Delaware County family is suing TikTok after a young girl died while attempting a social media challenge they claim that she saw on the app. The family of 10-year-old Nylah Anderson, who died in December, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the social media giant Thursday in Philadelphia. Attorney Jeffrey Goodman, a partner at the firm representing the Anderson family, called TikTok a "dangerously popular app" and warned that what happened to Nylah could happen to any child. "The nature of the lawsuit is that TikTok, through their algorithms, decided that it was a good decision to send a how-to video to a 10-year-old on how to asphyxiate oneself," Goodman said.He explained that TikTok is unique from other social media apps and websites like YouTube. TikTok's "whole business model," according to Goodman, centers around its ‘For You' page, a section of the app that procures content based on a user's viewing habits."With TikTok you see the videos that it puts in front of you and the purpose of the algorithm is to try and get users hooked," Goodman said.

White House directs FDA to import more baby formula amid nationwide shortage

infant formula shortage continues, President Joe Biden announced steps Thursday that the federal government will take to try and ease the shortfall.According to the White House, the government will make it easier for companies to import formula from overseas, push states to crack down on price gouging, and temporarily relax some of the product requirements for WIC users.The shortage is the result of a variety of factors, including pandemic-related manufacturing and supply chain issues. But it has been exacerbated by a safety recall that followed the deaths of two infants.Back in February, the Food and Drug Administration warned consumers to avoid some powdered baby formula products from a Sturgis, Michigan, facility run by Abbott Nutrition, which then initiated a voluntary recall.

Over 75% of Canadian nurses burnt out, 42% plan to leave profession, RNAO survey finds

Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO) has found that over 75 per cent of Canada’s nurses are “burnt out.”According to a news release, the RNAO conducted the survey between May and July of 2021, “during the height of Ontario’s third wave” of COVID-19, and collected responses from 5,200 nurses in Canada — most of which were from Ontario.The report, titled Nursing Through Crisis: A Comparative Perspective, found that more than 75 per cent of Canadian nurses who responded to the survey were classified as “burnt out,” with higher percentages reported among those in hospital and front-line workers.“This widespread burnout provides some insight about what life is like for a large percentage of Canadian nurses,” the report reads. “It also implies that leaving their position or their profession may be a future reality for these nurses.”However, when asked, only 26.2 per cent of nurses surveyed said they had taken time off of work to manage stress, anxiety or other mental health issues related to working during the pandemic, or to prevent or deal with burnout.
