| New GM Out Of Reach For Car Defect Punitive Damages |
 |
A New York bankruptcy judge found Wednesday that General Motors Co. is shielded from punitive damages from product liability claims based on its prebankruptcy actions. The agreement that turned prebankruptcy GM into the corporation referred to as New GM expressly transferred liability for compensatory damages, but neither the agreement nor bankruptcy law support the transfer of punitive damage liability, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn said in his opinion.

| The Chemicals in Your Mac and Cheese |
|
Potentially harmful chemicals that were banned from children's teething rings and rubber duck toys a decade ago may still be present in high concentrations in your child's favorite meal: macaroni and cheese mixes made with powdered cheese. The chemicals, called phthalates, can disrupt male hormones like testosterone and have been linked to genital birth defects in infant boys and learning and behavior problems in older children. The chemicals migrate into food from packaging and equipment used in manufacturing and may pose special risks to pregnant women and young children.
