A woman claims that a McDonald''s restaurant in Alabama served her a coffee containing a "harmful chemical" that damaged her throat and organs. She said staff refused to call 911 or let her and emergency responders see the label on the chemical bottle so they could determine the appropriate treatment. The plaintiff, Sherry Head of Florida, filed a lawsuit against the fast-food giant on September 19 seeking $13 million in compensation. KTLA first reported on the lawsuit. "The health and safety of our customers and employees is always a top priority," Gerry Murphy, one of the restaurant''s owner-operators, told Insider in a comment provided by McDonald''s. Head ordered a caramel macchiato at the drive-thru of the McDonald''s restaurant at 3520 Ross Clark Circle, Dothan in December 2020.
Sherry Head claimed in the lawsuit that staff refused to let her or emergency responders see the label on the chemical bottle, delaying treatment.

McDonald''s is introducing iconic characters like Grimace to younger customers in a new collab. An analyst told Insider that this promotion could generate new chances to use the mascots in marketing. The adult happy meal doesn''t add much complexity to menus. McDonald''s is launching a Happy Meal for adults , and it might be a smart use of the chain''s iconic characters. The meal is a collaboration with Cactus Flea Market, and customers will get either a Big Mac or 10-piece McNuggets, fries, a drink, and a figurine. They include Grimace, the Hamburglar, Birdie , and the new Cactus Buddy in an updated style inspired by the Cactus brand. "We''re taking one of the most nostalgic McDonald''s experiences and literally repackaging it in a new way that''s hyper-relevant for our adult fans," McDonald''s US head of marketing Tariq Hassan said in a statement. Using the beloved characters in current marketing is a smart move, analyst and president of Kalinowski Equity Research Mark Kalinowski told Insider.

September has historically been the worst month for stocks . With the S&P 500 down 7.5% with one trading day to go, you could say September is living up to its reputation. Well, almost. The index actually did worse in April and June, falling 9% and 8.8% , respectively. For September to claim its title, the S&P 500 would need to close the month below 3,582. After today’s rout, that would take a drop of about 1.6%. Certainly not out of the realm of possibility. Given this, you might be wondering why I’m writing about growth stocks to buy. I have three reasons. First, September is coming to an end and we are headed into a traditionally stronger period for stocks and the start of the Q3 earnings season. July, which marked the start of the Q2 earnings season, was by far the best month for stocks this year, with the S&P 500 up 9.2%. Second, this week’s bond-buying initiative by the Bank of England showed investors that, even during periods of high inflation, central banks are ready, willing and able to come to the rescue to prevent a true financial crisis from materializing.
The boxes will include your choice of a Big Mac or 10-piece Chicken McNuggets with fries and a drink, plus a limited edition figurine.

It may not occur to investors to look for blue-chip sleeper stocks, since they don’t often think of blue-chips as “sleepers.” In tough times, seasoned investors seek comfort in the stability and safety that well-established robust companies can offer. Blue-chip businesses generate consistent earnings thanks to their vast resources, resilient business models, and strong brands. In addition, such businesses boast impressive track records of delivering strong returns over the long term, including consistent and growing dividend payments. In an environment where the benchmark S&P 500 index has lost a quarter of its value year to date, the market now offers a range of undervalued blue-chip stocks. Clearly, some of these businesses have been unfairly punished by the jittery market sentiment. Put another way, the recent decline in valuations of some of the leading blue-chip stocks represents a compelling buying opportunity for patient, long-term investors. These stocks are primed to provide robust capital returns when market sentiment reverses.

McDonald''s faces a lawsuit from Byron Allen over its advertising spend with Black-owned media. He can try to prove in court that McDonald''s violated civil rights laws, court documents show. The media mogul said: "The economic exclusion must stop immediately." McDonald''s is facing a $10 billion lawsuit from media mogul Byron Allen, who has accused the fast food giant of failing to advertise with Black-owned media. Allen and his company, Allen Media Group , will argue in court that McDonald''s violated civil rights laws after a federal court judge found that oral argument was not enough to resolve the case, court documents show . Allen claimed that McDonald''s spends just $5 million of its $1.6 billion annual advertising budget on African American-owned media, and has "refused to advertise" on his networks, which include the Weather Channel and Comedy.TV, per the lawsuit. The media mogul accuses McDonald''s of relegating his TV networks to an "African-American tier" that has a smaller budget.
Byron Allen said the fast food chain spends only a fraction of its $1.6 billion annual advertising budget on media outlets owned by African Americans.
McDonald’s has shelved its meat-free burger trial and stock in one of the major manufacturers has dipped nearly 70% At the start of the year, McDonald’s launched a plant-based burger “sizzled on a flat-iron grill, then topped with slivered onions, tangy pickles, crisp shredded lettuce, Roma tomato slices, ketchup, mustard, mayo and a slice of melty American cheese”. For a while, it looked like a glimpse of the future. The US test run of the McPlant burger was quietly shelved last month (it is still available in some markets, including the UK) in one of a series of setbacks for a meatless-meat industry that only a year ago was claiming it could change the great American menu for ever.

Some stocks under $10 are cheap for a reason, but there are other stocks under $10 that are solid long-term investments. There are all sorts of equities from which to choose when building your portfolio. While there are arguably great names at high prices, it’s important that investors don’t overlook quality stocks to buy for less than $10.

Many commentators, analysts, and economists are convinced that the U.S. will enter a recession next year. Given the strength of the labor market and of corporate balance sheets, along with the onshoring phenomenon and the many jobs that the energy transition is creating, I have my doubts as to whether a recession is on the way. Still, I can certainly understand investors’ desire to find recession-proof growth stocks to buy. Such equities can come in a few different forms. Pharmaceutical stocks rely primarily on governments and health insurers for their revenue, neither of which is overly affected by recessions. As a result, the shares of successful drugmakers can soar in good times and bad. Then there are the companies that become more popular with some consumers during recessions. Also known as “trade-down” stocks, fast food chains and deep-discount retailers fall into this category. Finally, there are companies that sell products that most consumers, companies and governments will find necessary even during recessions, such as energy and cybersecurity.

CHICAGO — Mayor Lori Lightfoot fired back Wednesday at McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski after he raised concerns about crime in Chicago, and she defended the city’s economic outlook.

This may be your best chance to find Dow stocks to buy on the dip, although that might not seem intuitive given the current market climate. Still, if you have a long time horizon and a reasonable risk outlook, this may be the time to not only stay in equities but to make opportunistic buys. Historically, the market has an upward bias, but the market doesn’t announce when it hits a bottom. The Dow is seen as a barometer for the broader economy, and since every component of the index pays a dividend, owning one or more of the Dow stocks can help smooth out the current market volatility. Furthermore, some of these Dow stocks to buy on the dip are beginning to reach more attractive valuations which means they will likely have significant upside when the market does reverse course.

One of Beyond Meat’s top executives has been charged with felony battery and making terroristic threats. He allegedly attacked someone, biting their nose hard enough to tear flesh. Photo: Washington County, Arkansas Sheriff’s Office (AP) Thoughts and prayers for Beyond Meat in this trying time. The plant-based burger replacement company is currently swimming in struggle sauce. Doug Ramsey, Beyond’s chief operating officer, has been suspended from the company after being arrested for allegedly biting a man’s nose in a brawl. Then there’s the food-disruptor’s deepening financial woes. Ramsey reportedly got into a dispute while driving outside a college football game in Fayetteville, Arkansas. According to the police report, the Beyond exec was upset when another car tried to merge into his lane. The police report claims that Ramsey exited his car, punched through the back windshield of the offending car, then—when the other driver exited their vehicle, Ramsey punched them multiple times.

McDonald''s CEO Warns That More Companies Will Leave Crime Ridden Chicago McDonald''s CEO Chris Kempczinski says exploding crime has made his employees feel unsafe to go to work and has made it impossible to hire new talent for the company''s Chicago offices. The Illinois city has seen over 494 homicides so far in 2022, which is at least 100 more deaths that it saw in the first 8 months of 2019. Burglary is up at least 36% and theft overall is up 70% from a year ago. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is likely a large part of the problem. A notorious proponent of social justice ideology, Lightfoot vowed to crack down on anti-covid lockdown protesters but refused to do the same with BLM looting and rioting. Under her leadership Chicago has spiraled out of control. Lightfoot recently lauded a minor drop in homicides this year while ignoring the fact that deaths skyrocketed in 2020 and 2021, making the recent small decline far less meaningful. Lightfoot called for defunding Chicago police by $80 million in 2020, only to then beg for federal law enforcement assistance in 2021.
A top executive at plant-based food company Beyond Meat has been charged with felony battery after a fight outside a college football game in which he was accused of biting a man’s nose. Doug Ramsey was also charged with making a terroristic threat after the attack Saturday in a parking garage outside a University of Arkansas football game in Fayetteville. Beyond Meat said Tuesday it has suspended Ramsey indefinitely. According to a police report, Ramsey was angered when another driver inched in front of him in a traffic lane and made contact with the front passenger wheel on Ramsey’s Ford Bronco SUV. The police report alleges that Ramsey got out of his vehicle and punched through the back windshield of the other driver’s car. The driver told police he got out of his car and Ramsey pulled him close and began punching him. Ramsey also bit the tip of the other driver’s nose, ripping the flesh, according to the police report. The driver and witnesses told police that Ramsey threatened to kill the other man.

Shares of Ford Motor Co. (F) are down 5% after the Detroit automaker warned that its supplier costs are $1 billion U.S. higher than had been expected due to rising inflation. Consequently, the automotive manufacturer said it now expects earnings in the range of $1.4 billion U.S. to $1.7 billion U.S. when it reports results in October. The new forecast is far below the $3.7 billion U.S. in earnings Ford reported in its previous quarter, and the $3 billion U.S. it earned in the year ago period. The company said in a written statement that an ongoing parts shortage will keep its inventory of half-completed vehicles elevated in the coming months. Ford is the latest in a series of companies to warn of deteriorating earnings in the face of macroeconomic headwinds. FedEx (FDX), General Electric (GE) and McDonald’s (MCD) have each warned of waning demand, supply-chain issues, and inflation in recent weeks. Ford now estimates that its number of partially completed vehicles will total 40,000 to 45,000 at the end of the current third quarter.
From FedEx to General Electric to McDonald’s, companies are pointing to flagging demand, stubborn supply-chain snags and the growing possibility of a recession.
