| Uber Lawsuit Closer to Trial |  | The federal lawsuit in which Houston and San Antonio taxi companies accuse Uber and Lyft of a digital disruption that upended cab markets appears headed to a jury after a judge's lengthy determination last month about remaining-defendant Uber's potentially deceptive safety claims. U.S. District Judge Vanessa Gilmore has denied Uber's request for summary judgment and rejected parts of the company's motion to dismiss.

The recall applies to Sam's Choice Black Angus Vidalia Onion items produced on various dates between Nov. 19 and Dec. 9, 2015.

| Uber Drivers Excluded from Class Action File Suit | | Uber is facing a lawsuit by drivers who were left out of a class action lawsuit filed against the ride-sharing company last year. The lawsuit was filed by drivers who were excluded from the previous lawsuit because they drove for Uber through limo companies or signed up to drive using corporate or fictitious names. The lawsuit was filed in San Francisco's Superior Court and makes similar arguments to the originally lawsuit, mainly that Uber misclassified them as independent contractors, depriving them of rights such as business-expense reimbursements and gratuities.
