Record Heatwave Hits Tampa Bay: Essential Tips to Stay Cool

The Tampa Bay area is set to experience record-high temperatures, with inland cities facing "feels-like" temps in the 100s. Health officials recommend staying indoors, especially during peak heat hours between 2-3 p.m.

Here are five free ways to stay cool and avoid overheating:

1. Drink plenty of water: Aim for at least 64 ounces daily and hydrate before going outside.

2. Dress appropriately: Wear lightweight, light-colored, and loose-fitting clothes to allow sweat to evaporate.

3. Use cool wash rags to lower your body temperature.

4. Head to water: Pools or beaches can provide relief.

5. Place ice buckets in front of a fan for a cooling breeze.

Stay hydrated and dress wisely to beat the heat.

 In Tampa, over 100 veterans, active duty military personnel, and their families gathered at CrossFit Jaguar on Memorial Day to honor fallen soldiers.

The event featured The Murph workout, named after Lt. Michael Murphy, who died in Afghanistan in 2005. Participants completed a grueling routine of a one-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, and another one-mile run.

David Huston from the Concerned Veterans for America Foundation emphasized the importance of honoring fallen heroes and fostering camaraderie.

Army veteran Suzanne Marshall and National Guard member Christian Nunez highlighted the emotional and physical challenges of the workout, which strengthens bonds and commemorates those who sacrificed their lives for the country.

Philips to Pay $1.1 Billion in CPAP Machine Injury Settlement

Philips has reached a $1.1 billion settlement to resolve personal injury claims related to its 2021 recall of CPAP and BiPAP machines. The recall was due to polyester-based polyurethane (PE-PUR) foam in these devices degrading and causing serious health issues.

This settlement, separate from a $445 million economic loss settlement earlier this year, covers personal injury and medical monitoring claims. Philips has been providing replacement devices to affected customers since the recall.

CPAP machines, used to treat sleep apnea, keep airways open during sleep. The settlement includes $1.075 billion for personal injury claims and $25 million for medical monitoring. Injuries covered include new or worsening asthma, COPD, chronic bronchitis, various cancers, and other respiratory conditions. The medical monitoring fund will support research and treatment development.

More information on filing claims will be available by June 10, 2024. The deadline for filing claims related to the economic loss settlement is August 9, 2024.
