WASHINGTON (AP) — Just over 1 million Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week, a sign that the coronavirus outbreak continues to threaten jobs even as the housing market, auto sales and other segments of the economy rebound from a springtime collapse. The Labor Department reported Thursday that the number of people seeking jobless aid last week dropped by 98,000 from 1.1 million the week before. The number of initial claims has exceeded 1 million most weeks since late March. Before the coronavirus pandemic, they never topped 700,000 in a week. More than 14.5 million are collecting traditional jobless benefits -- up from 1.7 million a year ago -- a sign that many American families are depending on unemployment checks to keep them afloat. 768

WASHINGTON — A new poll finds that only about half of Americans are ready to roll up their sleeves for COVID-19 vaccines, even as states frantically prepare to begin months of vaccinations that could end the pandemic. The survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows about a quarter of U.S. adults aren't sure if they want to get vaccinated when their turn comes, and roughly another quarter say they won't. The Food and Drug Administration is poised to decide in the coming days whether to allow emergency use of two candidates, one made by Pfizer and the other made by Moderna. 621

Walmart and Target are being sued for allegedly selling toys with lead levels up to 10 times more than the federal limit of 100 parts per million, New York Attorney General Barbara D. Underwood announced on Thursday. According to a statement released by Underwood's office, the AG's office was able to find Cra-Z-Jewelz jewelry-making kits from stores. The kits allegedly contained lead at levels of 120 to 980 parts per million. The Attorney General's office had further independent testing done to confirm the results. The toy's maker, LaRose Industries, which is also a plaintiff in the New York lawsuit, issued a national recall. Underwood's office is accusing Walmart, Target and LaRose of "repeated illegality and fraud under New York State law by committing thousands of violations of state law prohibitions on importing, distributing, and selling hazardous toys; deceiving consumers; and false advertising."Underwood's office is seeking civil penalties of  to ,000 for each Cra-Z-Jewelz kit the companies sought to sell in the state.“No parent should have to worry that their child’s toy may be toxic. As we allege, these companies imported and sold toys with dangerous levels of toxic lead – jeopardizing the health of New York’s children and breaking the law,” Underwood said in a statement. “Our lawsuit seeks to hold these companies accountable for the failures that allowed lead-contaminated toys on store shelves, while forcing them to take responsibility for the safety of the products they sell.”The suit also seeks to force the companies to adhere to higher quality control standards to prevent toys with high lead levels from being purchased. The CDC says that lead in children's blood has been shown to affect IQ, ability to pay attention, and academic achievement. The CDC added that children under the age of 6 years old are at most risk of lead poisoning.  1936

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump aims to take credit for the speedy development of forthcoming coronavirus vaccines, even as his administration is coming under scrutiny for failing to lock in a chance to buy millions of additional doses of one of the leading coronavirus vaccine contenders this summer.That decision could delay the delivery of a second batch of doses until manufacturer Pfizer fulfills other international contracts.The revelation was first reported by the New York Times and later confirmed to the Associated Press by people familiar with the matter.Earlier this year, Pfizer agreed to make 100 million doses of its COVID-19 vaccine — enough to inoculate 50 million Americans — and gave the federal government the option to purchase up to five times as many doses. Then, this summer, Trump administration officials reportedly declined an offer to purchase 100 million more doses of the Pfizer vaccine.According to the Times, Pfizer must now also fulfill hefty orders from other countries — notably, an order for 200 million doses from the European Union — before making more doses for the U.S.In a statement, the Department of Health and Human Services said it was confident that Pfizer would be able to fulfill it's current 100 million dose order, and pointed to the fact that several other vaccine candidates are near approval — including one from Moderna, which could be approved by the end of th month.“We are confident that we will have 100 million doses of Pfizer’s vaccine as agreed to in our contract, and beyond that, we have five other vaccine candidates, including 100 million doses on the way from Moderna,” an HHS spokesperson said in a statement to the Times.The reports came on the eve of Trump’s plans to host a White House summit on Tuesday, aimed at celebrating the expected approval of the first vaccine later this week.At that event, Trump plans to sign an executive order aimed at prioritizing the supply of U.S. vaccines for Americans — though the order does not appear to have legal sway, according to the New York Times.Officials from President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team were not invited to Tuesday's event at the White House, despite the fact that the Biden administration will handle the bulk of the distribution work. 2281
