Spirit Airlines preparing to shut down as soon as Saturday, reports say

Spirit Airlines is reportedly preparing to shut down as early as 3 a.m. EST on Saturday.

According to multiple reports, the low-fare airline is planning to stop flying after failing to strike a deal for a financial lifeline from the Trump administration

Spirit has been dealing with reported financial struggles for years, including filing for bankruptcy just last year, and trying to secure $500 million to keep operations going.

Earlier on Friday, President Donald Trump said he was still weighing a taxpayer-funded takeover of the airline.

Trump said he would like to save jobs at the airline as his administration gave Spirit “a final proposal.”

The president added, “We’re looking at Spirit. If we can help them, we will. But we have to come first ... and it has to be a good deal.”

Officials did not immediately comment further on the situation or what a Spirit shutdown would mean for customers.

Officials with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service say the team seized thousands of dried shark fins across several U.S. ports.

According to the wildlife agency, about 50,000 shark fins were taken in from 20 shipments at ports, totaling more than 1,600 pounds and valued at over $1 million.

Inspectors say the first shipment was discovered in Anchorage, Alaska, which sparked a wider investigation. Their work led to the interception of additional shipments moving through Alaska, Kentucky and Ohio while the items were transiting from Mexico to Hong Kong.

The shipments were disguised as car parts found to be linked to a larger trafficking network.

The agency noted that the staggering number of fins was predominantly from silky sharks and bigeye thresher sharks, protected under the endangered species trade law.

All fins were seized for multiple violations of wildlife laws.

Officials said the violations have been shared with international partners to support appropriate enforcement actions.

The USFWS says a wildlife crime can be reported online.

Former Los Angeles Dodgers great Davey Lopes has died.

The team announced his death on Wednesday while sending its support to Lopes’ loved ones.

“The Dodgers mourn the loss of Davey Lopes, who passed away today at age 80,” the Dodgers shared in a social media post. “Lopes was a member of the team’s record-setting infield of the 1970s and 1980s and one of the finest basestealers in MLB history. Our condolences go out to his family and friends.”

According to multiple reports, Lopes had been receiving treatment in his home state of Rhode Island at a hospital for Parkinson’s disease.

Lopes spent the majority of his 16-year career with the Dodgers and was a four-time All-Star second baseman.

No immediate cause of death was released for the World Series champion.

Recall issued for chocolates containing potentially ‘life-threatening’ amounts of Viagra

A company that sells adult novelty products has voluntarily recalled two chocolate products.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the recall, saying the Gear Isle chocolates in question were found to contain potentially “life-threatening” amounts of prescription drug ingredients, sildenafil and tadalafil, that are commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction and found in Viagra.

The two products listed in the recall are Gold Lion Aphrodisiac Chocolate Male Enhancement Sachet and iLum Sex Chocolate Male Sexual Enhancement Booster.

According to the recall, the use of the products may pose a threat to consumers because the active ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and may cause a significant drop in blood pressure that may be life-threatening.

Both chocolates are sold as dietary supplements and were found to contain the “undeclared” pharmaceutical ingredients. According to the FDA, manufacturers of such supplements are responsible for ensuring the product’s safety.

Gear Isle said it is notifying its customers and arranging for returns and refunds of all recalled products. Consumers who have the products have been urged to stop using them and return them for a refund.

Consumers with questions regarding the recall can contact Gear Isle customer service at 888-387-4753.
