Parents, check your pantry—Peter Rabbit Organics banana and strawberry fruit puree pouches are being recalled nationwide due to a packaging defect that could release small pieces of soft, food-grade plastic. Sold between March 6 and July 13 at major retailers like Target, Kroger, and Meijer, these pouches carry specific best-by dates and a unique barcode (815367010780). No injuries have been reported, but the company urges you to throw them out or return them for a full refund. Don’t feed these pouches to kids—or anyone else. Contact PT Organics’ support line Monday–Friday, 8 AM–5 PM ET, for questions.

Michigan’s Supreme Court just handed down a historic ruling that could free dozens of young adults sentenced to life without parole for murder—potentially releasing them as early as their 30s or 40s. Meanwhile, scientists at Michigan State are turning wood waste into safer batteries, while Lansing police ramp up patrols after a teen’s death and 911 faces a staffing crisis. Lawmakers push forward with a new AI bill to shield kids online, while critics call for dismantling the state’s economic development agency. And behind the scenes, food assistance programs are under investigation for possible fraud—all unfolding as Michigan grapples with justice, innovation, and accountability.

Get ready to gaze upward—July’s Buck Moon is almost here, peaking on the morning of the 29th, with a cool name tied to deer antler growth. Not a supermoon, but still stunning, it’ll glow full for days around that date. Michigan stargazers, head to dark sky parks like Headlands or Rockport for the clearest view. Even if you miss the peak, the moon’s fullness stretches across July 28th and 30th. And don’t forget—next up? The Sturgeon Moon, August 28th next year.

A Michigan camper got bitten by an eastern massasauga rattlesnake — the state’s only venomous snake — prompting a quick reminder: stay calm, call 911, and get medical help fast. These shy, wetland-dwelling snakes are rare and protected, with distinctive triangular heads, blotchy coloring, and a buzzing rattle. If you spot one, leave it alone — and snap a photo to help track their dwindling populations.

East Lansing is deploying solar-powered “Safety Sticks” to crack down on illegal parking—cameras that snap license plate photos if a car lingers in no-parking zones longer than 90 seconds. After a successful April pilot with 7 cameras that caught over 1,300 violations, the city council has greenlit the full rollout. Citations won’t start for at least 60 days, giving drivers time to adjust, but the goal is clear: deter bad parking habits with visible tech to keep traffic moving and streets clear.
