Some retailers pull weighted infant sleepwear because of safety concerns

US Senator Richard Blumenthal said that Dreamland, which makes weighted baby sleepwear, made a false claim that its products “exceeded all CPSC standards because there’s no standard for infant sleepwear”. Blumenthal added that FDA has no right to ban Dreamland’s products containing an additional weight. Dreamland said it believes its weighted sleepwear is safe and that critics proved otherwise.

Ahead of the ban vote, Senators are pushing for a public hearing on TikTok intel

US Senators Richard Blumenthal and Marsha Blackburn are calling for TikTok’s briefings to be declassified to “better educate the public on the need for urgent action”. This comes after US Senator Maria Cantwell said she wants a public hearing, potentially with Senate Intelligence Committee, on TikTok alleging it’s “a gun aimed at Americans’ heads”.
