SUMMARY: A local woman, Anela Walker, experienced a terrifying incident when her Maytag Gemini oven spontaneously turned on and exploded while she was asleep, causing significant damage to her kitchen. She urged Maytag to recall the appliance after being unable to obtain a replacement or reimbursement. After the intervention of a news outlet, Walker received a new model, but investigations revealed numerous complaints about the same oven, with reports of overheating and fires occurring while units were off. Whirlpool, Maytag’s parent company, acknowledged the reports but stated such incidents are rare. Safety advocates emphasize that any serious incident should warrant investigation and potential recall.

A local grandmother says her Maytag oven exploded in her sleep! How 5 On Your Side stepped in to help after the manufacturer refused, and what you need to do to protect yourself!

SUMMARY: Thaddeus, born in Ohio, is now the world’s oldest baby conceived from an embryo frozen in 1994—over 30 years ago. His adoptive parents, Tim and Lindsey Pierce, who had struggled to conceive for seven years, received the embryo through a Christian embryo adoption agency. The embryo was originally created by Linda Archer and her then-husband using early IVF technology. Despite the embryo’s age, doctors confirm embryos frozen correctly can be as healthy as fresh ones. Thaddeus’s birth raises ethical questions about frozen embryos’ future and ownership, with around one million frozen in U.S. storage. Linda notes Thaddeus resembles her 30-year-old daughter.

SUMMARY: Duke Energy won legislative approval to ease its carbon emissions targets in North Carolina by overriding Governor Josh Stein’s veto of Senate Bill 266, known as the Power Bill Reduction Act. The law cancels Duke’s interim goal to cut carbon emissions by 70% by 2030 and allows greater reliance on natural gas, while still requiring net-zero emissions by 2050. It also lets Duke shift more fuel costs onto residential customers and charge for power plant financing even if projects are never completed. Critics warn this risks higher bills, greater fossil fuel dependence, and weakening climate commitments amid worsening heat and storms.
