 The scooter-sharing startup Lime continues to clash with its suppliers amid questions about the safety of its scooters.Chinese company Okai is pushing back on claims that it's the source of flawed Lime scooters.Earlier this month, Lime said it removed all of its scooters manufactured by Okai following reports that the baseboard where users stand can snap in half and endanger riders. Some riders have suffered injuries, and an Okai scooter may have contributed to a fatality. Lime uses scooters from multiple manufacturers, but doesn't reveal exactly how many.In late October, Lime stated the baseboard on its Okai models could break if ridden off a curb at high speeds.Okai said Friday Lime's claims are "groundless" and the faulty scooters come from another supplier."We feel it necessary to make cautions to the public on the credibility of such statements made by Lime," Okai said in a statement sent to CNN Business on Friday. "Obviously, Lime has other suppliers whose scooters broke."Lime declined to comment on whether it has recalled scooters from other manufacturers.Photos on social media and in news reports revealed Lime scooters with broken floorboards -- some of which match images of the scooter model Okai says it provided to Lime. But not all looked the same. The Okai model has a distinct set of lights and screws, the manufacturer said in its statement.Okai said it sold 32,000 scooters to Lime, but the company has not revealed how many scooters it has removed from streets. When it recalled some scooters over battery concerns earlier this year, the issue impacted less than 0.01% of its fleet, Lime said.The company said it is working with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission to investigate its Okai scooters.In 2017, Lime launched as LimeBike, a dockless bikesharing startup. But this year it shifted its focus to scooters after Bird, a Santa Monica startup, pioneered a popular scooter-sharing service. Lime has since raised hundreds of millions of dollars, including from Uber. Lime operates in 10 countries and more than 85 US cities.Scooters have been shown to reduce car trips, earning praise from environmentalists and city experts. But safety questions have followed the company's rapid expansion. In September, a Dallas man died shortly after a crash while riding a Lime scooter. Police discovered the scooter was broken in half, but the company hasn't said if the man was riding an Okai scooter.Along with fellow Lime supplier Ninebot, Okai is calling on scooter companies to do more to protect scooters from the wear-and-tear of daily use."It is the operator's responsibility to ensure proper and prompt management and maintenance of the scooters it puts into the co-sharing market," Okai said.Lime has already taken some steps to tackle safety concerns. It announced a million program to distribute 250,000 helmets and educate riders on safety practices. Lime recently unveiled a new scooter with safety improvements, such as larger wheels, intended to better handle potholes and uneven roads.Companies are racing to meet demand and expand to new cities.But the Silicon Valley-backed companies have grown at a?breakneck pace, which has drawn criticism for introducing problems at a scale that wouldn't occur with steadier growth. Some view scooters as clutter because they're sometimes parked incorrectly, such as blocking sidewalks.According to Tony Ho, vice president of business development at the Chinese company Ninebot, which makes a majority of the shared scooters in use worldwide, the scooter-sharing industry is so new that issues continue to pop up.He said Ninebot plans to release a new model later this year that's better designed for harsh conditions. Shared scooters are typically ridden a half-dozen times a day on roads of varying quality, and in inclement weather. Scooters are often thrown to the ground, or tossed in the back of trucks to be charged. And minor cracks can expose components, leading to malfunctions."There's room to improve in how to operate, and how to train chargers," Ho said of the scooter-sharing startups. "This is almost like a new test for us. The product needs to sustain a real industrial type of environment."Segway is also shifting the battery in its scooters to the baseboard. This will lower the center of gravity, making them less likely to tip over and expose riders to head injuries."It's gonna be a beast," Ho said of the new scooter. 4558

"Elder Orphans" are on the rise due to increased isolation due to COVID-19 and experts say it’s also causing an uptick in elder abuse.“It's worse now than it's ever been,” says Anthony Cirillo, an aging and caregiving expert and president of the "Aging Experience," a company that focuses on elder care and caregiving issues. Elder abuse was a problem before COVID-19 hit. The pandemic only exacerbated it, Cirillo said.“We’re all going through these kinds of things and I think you become more vulnerable and emotional and become more open to listening to people who might be trying to exploit you. So isolation is just a killer right now,” says Cirillo.Debby Bitticks says her father-in-law became a victim of elder abuse.“I was really naive in assuming that this person was going to give quality care turned out to be a crook,” Bitticks said. “Everything that you could possibly read about that could go wrong with elder abuse was happening with my father-in-law.”Well before the coronavirus, elder abuse was happening right before her eyes.“We had to hire a private investigator. Of course we notified social services, had to hire an elder care lawyer, yes, we did save his life and brought him to live with us,” Bitticks said.She turned the experience into a movie called "Saving our Parents."“We just want to let people know inspect what you except,” Bitticks said. “Don’t ever assume that your parents are OK without knowing to look for any signs of change.”The film was made in 2008. Since then, it's been shown all over the world, won awards and has been used as a training tool.“It’s as important today as it was when I made it,” Bitticks said. “It’s endless in terms of information, its timeless. All of us have aging parents, the new generation needs to know this."When asked about the warning signs, and what you should look for to spot a problem, Cirillo said, “Look for the signs. Bruises, welts, lacerations, is mom or dad taking care of themselves, are they clean or unwashed, are they having trouble sleeping, have they lost a bunch of weight, any sign of trauma.”He also says if you hire someone, carefully screen them and do a background check. Monitor your loved one's finances and watch their bank accounts. Make sure you draw up an estate plan. And he says start those conversations now.“Everything is about preparation. nobody wants to talk about aging until there’s a crisis situation and when there’s a crisis everybody reacts but in reality, we should be talking about all of these issues early on,” Cirillo said.Experts also advise, especially during this pandemic, if you can't be there, it's imperative that you have someone check in on your family as it's more important than ever to be involved. Even if it's from a distance.Bitticks also recommends that families capture their loved one's life story.

With passion and conviction, Eric Garner’s mother, Gwen Carr, was speaking from experience at a rally Tuesday. “We want a federal law that will go around the country, that anytime anyone uses a chokehold they are immediately locked up and charged.”Her son died after being put in an illegal chokehold by police. The call now is to make the chokehold maneuver illegal nationwide. Lawmakers and community leaders are also demanding more accountability for officers amid protesting and violence.“These bills can be the real focus of where this nation can go," said the Rev. Al Sharpton. "This will be the example of New York, will be the example nationwide." Garner’s last words, "I can't breathe," became an outcry for change, George Floyd said the same thing in his final moments.Whether by arm or by knee, these new laws would also put in place tougher penalties for any officer who restricts someone’s breathing.The chokehold was banned by the NYPD after the death of Anthony Baez in 1994 but 20 years later, Garner became the poster child that the system failed. Now Floyd is the last straw for the community. “We don’t need officers to take a knee with us, we need them to keep their knees off our necks," said City Council Speaker Corey Johnson. 1261
