WEST READING, Pa. - A Pennsylvania candy-maker ignored warnings of a gas leak at its chocolate factory and bears responsibility for a subsequent explosion that killed seven workers and injured several others, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.The family of Judith "Judy" Lopez-Moran, a 55-year-old mother of three, filed what their lawyers called the first wrongful-death suit against R.M.

Palmer Co. after the March 24 blast in West Reading.Workers smelled gas that day and notified Palmer, but the 75-year-old, family-owned company "did nothing," the lawsuit said."The gas leak at the factory and the horrific explosion it caused was foreseeable, predictable, and preventable," the suit said. "Tragically, Judith Lopez-Moran’s death and suffering were preventable."The lawsuit, filed in Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, also names gas utility UGI.

Messages were sent to Palmer and UGI seeking comment.Authorities are still investigating the cause of the explosion, which leveled a building in the factory complex and damaged several other buildings in West Reading, a small town 60 miles (96 kilometers) northwest of Philadelphia.Federal safety officials previously confirmed they were studying the role of a natural gas pipeline in the blast.

The National Transportation Safety Board has called what happened a "natural gas" explosion and fire, citing preliminary information from local authorities and the utility about the pipeline's role.Palmer officials should have evacuated immediately after being told of the gas odor but instead "made a representation to the factory workers, including Judith Lopez-Moran, that the factory was safe and that there was no gas leak," the suit said.Palmer, according to the suit, "intended to mislead.

North Korea says it tested new solid-fuel long-range missile for first time

SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea said Friday it flight-tested a solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time, a possible breakthrough in its efforts to acquire a more powerful, harder-to-detect weapon targeting the continental United States.North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency issued the report a day after the country’s neighbors detected a launch of a long-range missile from near Pyongyang, which extended a run of weapons displays involving more than 100 missiles fired into the sea since the start of 2022.Thursday’s test did not appear to demonstrate the weapon’s full capacity, and it remains unclear how far North Korea has come in mastering technologies to ensure the warhead would withstand atmospheric reentry and accurately strike targets. Still, analysts said the test was likely a meaningful advance in North Korea’s goal to build a nuclear arsenal that could directly threaten the United States.Later Friday, the U.S.

Anheuser-Busch sheds roughly $5 billion in value since Bud Light’s Dylan Mulvaney pact sparked outrage

Dylan Mulvaney.As of Wednesday's close, Anheuser-Busch has fallen 5.02% and lost $4.562 billion in market cap, according to Dow Jones Market Data Group.The stock was $66.73 per share on March 31 and closed at $63.38 on Wednesday. An analysis on the matter was first published in the New York Post.Mulvaney, a trans activist and social media influencer who gained prominence when given an opportunity to interview President Biden about LGBTQ issues in 2022, revealed earlier this month that the beer company sent packs of Bud Light with her face printed on the cans as part of an ad for the beer company’s March Madness contest and as a way to celebrate a full year of "girlhood."Mulvaney said the cans were her "most prized possession" on Instagram with a post featuring "#budlightpartner." A video then featured Mulvaney in a bathtub drinking a Bud Light beer as part of the campaign, but the pact was met with significant criticism.Anheuser-Busch stock plummeting comes as country music singer John Rich said he pulled cases of Bud Light from his Nashville, Tennessee, bar as part of a boycott against Anheuser-Busch; conservative rocker Kid Rock used several Bud Light cases for target practice in a viral video; and there has been widespread backlash on social media while beer distributors are concerned. Anheuser-Busch did not immediately respond to a request for comment about its stock. The company had previously stood by the decision.RELATED: Kid Rock shoots up Bud Light cans with rifle to protest Dylan Mulvaney partnership: 'F--- Bud Light'"Anheuser-Busch works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics.

FAA warns of safety hazard from leaky faucets in Boeing 787, calls for inspections

(Photo credit: ERIC PIERMONT/AFP via Getty Images) The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is calling for inspections of all Boeing 787 jets amid recurring problems with leaky bathroom faucets that regulators worry could harm the massive airliner’s electronic systems.The FAA on Friday issued a proposal for repetitive inspections of Boeing 787 jetliners, which the company calls the Dreamliner, in the wake of "multiple" cases of water leaking from lavatories under the cabin floor and into bays where electronic equipment is stored.In calling for the inspections, the FAA said the leaks threatened to damage critical electronic equipment that could potentially lead to a "loss of continued safe flight and landing."BOEING PLANS TO INCREASE 737 MAX PRODUCTION RATES ‘VERY SOON’The agency indicated that after one unidentified airline discovered wet carpet in the plane’s cockpit and inspected the rest of its 787 fleet it found "multiple" planes with leaking faucets.Boeing notified airlines about the issue in November, which it traced back to a problem with an O-ring seal that led to a slow leak of about 8 ounces of water per hour.The aircraft manufacturer said it believes the issue is limited to certain 787s, although the FAA’s proposed order would apply to all 787 jetliners in U.S.
