GREENVILLE, S.C., September 22, 2025 – Michelin, a global leader in tire innovation, is debuting the latest size update to its renowned Pilot General Aviation tire, developed in collaboration with Beringer – 11×4.00-5 8/160 PILOT TL.

Michelin Pilot General Aviation tires have long been the standard for high-performance bias tires, providing exceptional strength and durability across a wide variety of aircraft. The latest size addition continues this tradition, ensuring that pilots can rely on Michelin for their most demanding aviation needs.

“For Michelin to introduce a new tire size in collaboration with Beringer is a testament to our commitment to the continued development of innovative solutions and meeting the evolving needs of the aviation market,” said Frederic Behm, Global Segment Lead, General Aviation, Michelin. “The new tire size is specifically designed to meet the customers’ needs of a large variety of aircraft, including Ultralight, Light, Light Sport and Experimental aircraft.”

The new tire size features exceptionally durable rubber compounds, configured for more landings and extended tire life while being designed to provide true track taxi, takeoffs, and landings, engineered to ensure smooth and precise handling. Its tubeless design reduces overall wheel weight and helps eliminate the effect of tire creep on the wheel.  

“This collaboration with Michelin is an opportunity to meet market needs by combining a Beringer wheel with a Michelin tire, offering unique performances for our customers,” said Claire Béringer, CEO, Béringer Aéro.

The new Pilot GA tire size is available now, and Michelin and Beringer are excited to see the positive impact it will have on customer satisfaction, while they continue their collaboration together.

New York, NY – September 18, 2025 – Following its marketplace monitoring of children’s advertising, BBB National Programs’ Children’s Advertising Review Unit (CARU) recommended that MrBeastYouTube, LLC, and its affiliate Feastables, update their advertising and data collection practices for the MrBeast YouTube channel, Feastables’ Sweepstakes, and the Feastables website to comply with CARU’s Advertising Guidelines, CARU’s Privacy Guidelines, and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

MrBeast, the online persona of Jimmy Donaldson, is one of the world’s most popular content creators on the YouTube platform, with a large fan base of children and young adults. The MrBeast YouTube channel has over 400 million subscribers. In 2022, MrBeast launched Feastables, a chocolate brand that generated over $215 million in revenue in 2024.

CARU’s inquiry focused on whether certain advertising on the MrBeast YouTube channel was identifiable as advertising; whether certain claims for Feastables chocolate bars were misleading; whether promotions for Feastables sweepstakes clearly disclosed free means of entry, odds of winning, and minimum age requirements; and whether personally identifiable information was collected from children prior to obtaining verifiable parental consent (VPC).

MrBeast YouTube Advertising

CARU observed several MrBeast YouTube videos where the video descriptions and pinned comments contained advertising content unrelated to the videos. This content was not clearly labeled or otherwise identifiable as advertising to children in the audience.

Because it would not be clear to children that the video descriptions and pinned comments were advertising messages, CARU determined that MrBeast’s YouTube channel did not comply with CARU’s Ad Guidelines’ provision that advertising should be presented in a way that makes clear to the child audience that it is advertising.

CARU accordingly recommended that the channel update its advertising practices to ensure that all advertisements are identifiable as ads to children.

Feastables Advertising

In a promotional video later removed from his YouTube channel, MrBeast posted a “Massive Announcement!” where MrBeast debuted the new Feastables chocolate bars and purported to conduct a blind taste test between the new Feastables chocolate bars and “top European chocolates” that showed all tasters preferring the Feastables bar.

Although MrBeast contended the taste test demonstration was not intended to be taken seriously, CARU concluded that it would appear to be a valid taste test to children.

CARU determined Feastables violated CARU’s Ad Guidelines by misrepresenting that the taste test was a valid demonstration that consumers prefer Feastables chocolate bars’ taste compared to similar chocolates.   

CARU recommended that Feastables ensure ad claims are truthful and not misleading to children.

Feastables Sweepstakes

At the end of the “Massive Announcement” Feastables video, MrBeast announced the “Blue Wave $10K sweepstakes” saying, “…for 30 days straight, we are giving away $10,000 to a lucky customer who scans the QR code on the back of any new Feastables bar…You might win 10 grand…” and to “Upload Your Receipt & Enter to Win. Confirm your purchase below to enter for a chance to win 10k + a year’s supply of our new chocolate. MORE BARS = MORE ENTRIES.”

Contrary to CARU’s Ad Guidelines’ provision that sweepstakes promotions must clearly and conspicuously disclose a free means of entry, the free means of entering the sweepstakes was only disclosed in the FAQ section linked to halfway down the page. The FAQ also stated that the minimum age of participation is 16.

Based on the overall net impression of the ads for the Blue Wave sweepstakes, CARU determined that the free method of entry was not adequately disclosed. CARU determined that a child may have the reasonable takeaway that they must purchase Feastables chocolate bars to enter the sweepstakes. A second reasonable takeaway is that a child should purchase as many as 10 chocolate bars every day and scan the QR codes to maximize their chances of winning.

In MrBeast’s 2024 Halloween sweepstakes, Feastables encouraged participants to submit up to 24 entries daily until October 30 for a chance to win $10,000, with a grand prize of $1,000,000 on Halloween Day. The ad copy stated, “$10,000 USD Daily Winner. Enter with Purchase Through October 30.” In very small print was the disclaimer, “No purchase necessary, Click below for details.” The official rules stated that participants must be at least 13 years old with parental permission and entrants under 13 are not allowed.

CARU noted the sweepstakes did not include an age gate to ensure that participants were at least 13 years old, nor did the sweepstakes provide a method, at any point in the sweepstakes entry flow, where participants could enter their parent or guardian’s information to obtain VPC. The entry form required a participant to enter personal information including full name, phone number, address, and email address. To upload the receipt photo, the prompt, “I affirm that I have read, understand and agree to the Official Rules,” was pre-checked.

Additionally, the advertisement featured a large countdown timer with the text “Time is Running Out. Buy Feastables for a chance to win $10K,” which CARU determined constituted sales pressure.

Sweepstakes Advertising Issues

CARU determined that the Feastables Blue Wave $10K and Halloween $10K sweepstakes did not comply with CARU’s Ad Guidelines by failing to clearly and conspicuously disclose the free means of entry, the minimum age requirements, and the likelihood of winning, and by promoting the overconsumption of chocolate bars.

CARU recommended ensuring that material information is disclosed clearly and conspicuously to children in language they can understand, that advertising is clearly identifiable as advertising to the children, and that advertising is truthful, not misleading, and appropriate to the child audience.

Sweepstakes Privacy Issues

CARU’s Privacy Guidelines and COPPA require websites directed to children, including mixed audience sites, to obtain VPC before collecting, using, or disclosing personal information from children under 13. Pursuant to COPPA, mixed audience sites may implement a neutral age-screening mechanism to ensure the site does not collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 without first obtaining VPC.

CARU determined that the Feastables website was a mixed audience site that appealed to children under the age of 13 as a secondary audience and, therefore, Feastables had a reasonable expectation that children under 13 would visit the website.

Therefore, CARU determined that the Feastables Blue Wave $10K and Halloween $10K sweepstakes did not comply with CARU’s Privacy Guidelines and potentially COPPA by failing to provide a neutral age-screening mechanism to ensure the sweepstakes website did not collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 without first obtaining VPC.

Other Feastables Website Privacy Issues

In its review of the Feastables website, CARU observed a full-page popup that repeatedly solicited the user’s email address with a call to action stating, “MrBeast Wants You to Join the Crew.” When CARU provided an email address through this popup, it discovered that a second popup would generate, soliciting the user’s phone number this time. When testing the network traffic of the site during this interaction, CARU saw evidence that the email and phone contact information was sent to non-affiliate third parties.

In light of Feastables’ future plans to solely run sweepstakes for ages 18 and up, CARU further recommended that Feastables consider whether a neutral and effective age gate would be appropriate for future sweepstakes and promotions.

Since the opening of the inquiry, CARU has worked with the MrBeast team, which has cooperated to implement CARU’s recommendations regarding CARU’s Advertising Guidelines, CARU’s Privacy Guidelines, and COPPA.

In the advertiser statement, MrBeast and Feastables stated that it “appreciates CARU’s mission to promote responsible children’s advertising. However, they do not agree with all the conclusions made in the decision or the premises on which they were based. Furthermore, a variety of the issues raised by CARU relate to practices long since revised and/or discontinued. Notwithstanding, MrBeast and Feastables certainly will take CARU’s concerns under advisement as it develops future advertisements which appear in children’s media.”

• Restaurant Pearl Morissette is promoted to Two Stars
• One Green Star and one new MICHELIN Starred restaurant join the selection
• 106 total restaurants, 31 cuisine types reflected in selection

 

TORONTO, Sept. 18, 2025 — This evening, the MICHELIN Guide announced the 2025 restaurant selection for the MICHELIN Guide Toronto & Region at a ceremony that took place at the Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex.

Restaurant Pearl Morissette was promoted to Two Stars in this year’s selection. Additionally, aKin was welcomed into the selection with One MICHELIN Star and Sundays joined the ranks as the newest Green Star, awarded for their efforts in sustainable gastronomy.

“2025 marks another impressive year for the Toronto restaurant scene as we welcomed a new Two Star restaurant into the selection, highlighting the region’s burgeoning talent,” said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guide. “With a new Green Star establishment, we continue to see the local culinary scene’s passion and commitment towards a more sustainable and creative gastronomy scene.”

In addition to the new Starred restaurants, the Guide boasts six new Bib Gourmands: 7 Enoteca, Barrel Heart Brewing, Mhel, Ricky + Olivia, Sundays and The Cottage Cheese. The full selection, including Green Stars and Recommended eateries, totals 106 restaurants and 31 cuisine types represented.

Here are the new MICHELIN Star and Green Star restaurants, with Inspector notes from each (Inspectors’ comments in full on the MICHELIN Guide website and mobile app):

Two MICHELIN Stars

Restaurant Pearl Morissette (Lincoln; Contemporary cuisine)

This 42-acre destination in the picturesque Niagara region is the full experience. A restaurant, winery, orchard, farm and bakery, Restaurant Pearl Morissette is a powerhouse. With great pride for Canadian ingredients and respect for the seasons, Chefs Daniel Hadida and Eric Robertson make the most of their surroundings to enhance their spontaneous tasting menu’s dishes, as in roasted guinea hen with chanterelles, mokum carrot and fig. Yes, there is plenty of wine available, but don’t miss the accomplished juice pairing either. The meal may conclude sweetly with a deliciously creamy hogweed ice cream sandwich followed by terrific, freshly baked madeleines. Meanwhile, the warm team keeps the tasting moving at a friendly clip.

One MICHELIN Star

aKin (Toronto; Chinese cuisine)

Chef Eric Chong has set out to do what few others in the region dare to. Drawing inspiration from across Asia, he taps into his own heritage and delivers a modern tasting menu that reimagines what is possible using top-shelf ingredients sourced from Nova Scotia to British Columbia. Tables run down the length of a stylish room framed with gold-leaf finishes, and an intimate, four-seat chef’s counter offers an even closer look at the refined excellence coming out of this kitchen. Past highlights include lobster cheung fun, char siu bao with Iberico secreto and grilled langoustine with silver needle noodles. Gorgeous desserts, creative cocktails and personable service enhance this memorable experience.

MICHELIN Green Star

Sundays (Uxbridge; Creative cuisine)

Initiatives: sourcing ingredients directly from their local farm and other nearby farms; educating the next generation of farm workers; evolving menu based on seasonality; locally sourced wine selection.

Bib Gourmand

The MICHELIN Guide Inspectors added six restaurants to the Bib Gourmand list, which recognizes eateries for great food at a great value: 7 Enoteca, Barrel Heart Brewing, Mhel, Ricky + Olivia, Sundays and The Cottage Cheese.

MICHELIN Special Awards

In addition to the Bib Gourmand and Stars, the Guide announced four Special Awards:

About the MICHELIN Guide

Recognized globally for excellence and quality, the MICHELIN Guide offers a selection of world-class restaurants.

• The famous one, two and three MICHELIN Stars identify establishments serving exceptional cuisine that’s rich in flavor, remarkably executed and infused with the personality of a talented chef.

• The Bib Gourmand is a designation given to select restaurants that offer good quality food for a good value – often known as personal favorites among the inspectors when dining on their own time.

• The MICHELIN Green Star honors restaurants that are pioneers in sustainable gastronomy.

• Recommended restaurants and special professional awards are also highlighted by the MICHELIN Guide inspectors.

 

The MICHELIN Guide remains a reliable companion for any traveler seeking an unforgettable meal and hospitality experience. The Guide was first published in France at the turn of the 20th century to encourage the development of car mobility as well as tire sales by giving practical advice to motorists. Progressively, the Guide has specialized in restaurant and hotel recommendations. Michelin’s inspectors still use the same criteria and manner of selection that were used by the inspectors in the very beginning.

The restaurant selections join the MICHELIN Guide selection of hotels, which features the most unique and exciting places to stay around the world. Visit the MICHELIN Guide website, or download the free app for iOS and Android, to discover every restaurant in the selection and book an amazing hotel.

Thanks to the rigorous MICHELIN Guide selection process that is applied independently and consistently in more than 60 destinations (60+ Guides), the MICHELIN Guide has become an international benchmark in fine dining.

All restaurants in the Guide are recommended by Michelin’s anonymous inspectors, who are trained to apply the same time-tested methods used by Michelin inspectors for many decades throughout the world. This ensures a uniform, international standard of excellence. As a further guarantee of complete objectivity, Michelin inspectors pay all their bills in full, and only the quality of the cuisine is evaluated.

To fully assess the quality of a restaurant, the inspectors apply five criteria defined by Michelin: product quality; mastery of cooking techniques; harmony of flavors; the personality of the chef as reflected in the cuisine; and consistency over time and across the entire menu. These criteria guarantee a consistent and fair selection so a Starred restaurant has the same value regardless of whether it is in Paris, New York or anywhere else in the world.

New York, NY – September 18, 2025 – In a challenge brought by competitor Charter Communications, Inc., BBB National Programs’ National Advertising Division determined that AT&T Services, Inc. substantiated its “AT&T Guarantee” claim for customers who experience internet and wireless connectivity outages in the context of the “Knowing You Exist” commercials.

However, the National Advertising Division (NAD) recommended that AT&T modify or discontinue other claims related to its “AT&T Guarantee,” which appeared on AT&T’s website and in a series of “March Madness” TV commercials.

“Knowing You Exist” Commercials

Charter challenged a series of over a dozen 15- and 30-second TV commercials featuring vignettes of life situations that are “not guaranteed” and then introducing the new AT&T guarantee by stating, “You know what AT&T guarantees? The connectivity you depend on, the deals you want, and the service you deserve, or we’ll make it right.”  

Based on the evidence in the record, NAD found that consumers are unlikely to take away a broad message that the guarantee covers all outages and are similarly unlikely to believe that “making it right” would broadly cover every possible type of outage. Consumers would understand that “making it right” is part of the guarantee and therefore would only cover those outages actually covered by the guarantee.

NAD found that because the voiceover in the commercials explicitly states that “we’ll make it right” with on-screen text referencing “connectivity,” “deals,” and “service,” some consumers may take away a message that AT&T will make it right for when there is some kind of issue relating to connectivity, deals, or service that is covered by the guarantee.

Here, AT&T makes it right by providing customers who qualify under the guarantee

an automatic credit on their bill. Therefore, NAD concluded that the claim that AT&T will make it right for customers that do experience outages, in the context of the Knowing You Exist commercials, was substantiated.

March Madness Commercials

Charter also challenged a series of six 15- and 30-second commercials that aired during NCAA March Madness. All of the commercials set up the same dichotomy between situations in life that are “not guaranteed” and the new AT&T guarantee.

There are multiple references to “connecting,” “connections,” and being “connected” in these commercials. The commercials also expressly state, “NETWORK INTERRUPTIONS FIXED FAST” and that customers will “GET A FULL DAY OF CREDIT.” NAD found that in this context, consumers are likely to take away a message that any outages will be fixed quickly and that they will receive compensation for such outages.

NAD also found that the existing disclosure outlining material limitations to the guarantee, which appears briefly in tiny font amid busy visuals, is not clear and conspicuous.

NAD also found that the existing disclosure, which appears for approximately five seconds in tiny font at the bottom of the screen in the March Madness commercials, with busy visuals and much larger headlines in the middle of the screen, is not clear and conspicuous.

Further, NAD noted that the guarantee’s promise of “NETWORK INTERRUPTIONS FIXED FAST” is not one that can be qualified with a disclosure, as AT&T’s policy states an outage must last at least 20 or 60 minutes to be covered, a duration that might be unduly disruptive to users. Accordingly, NAD recommended that AT&T modify the guarantee claims to avoid conveying that AT&T will “make it right” for minor service disruptions.

Specifically, NAD recommended that AT&T clearly and conspicuously disclose the material limitations of the guarantee and modify its advertising to avoid conveying any message that the guarantee will make it right by fixing any and all network interruptions “fast.”

Website Claims

NAD found that almost every reference to connectivity on AT&T’s website is accompanied by a disclosure that the guarantee offers credit back and that it applies only to outages of 20 or 60 minutes or more caused by a single incident impacting 10 or more towers, and that consumers cannot avoid seeing the disclosures.

However, as the first reference to the AT&T guarantee in the website headline is not accompanied by a disclosure, NAD found that the disclosure was not clear and conspicuous and recommended that AT&T clearly and conspicuously disclose the material limitations of the claim.

Regarding the remaining challenged website claims, because the guarantee only activates after an outage of 20 or 60 minutes, an unqualified message that AT&T will make it right by fixing any and all outages “fast” is not supported. NAD recommended AT&T modify the claims to avoid conveying the message that AT&T will fix the outage sooner than it actually will.

First and Only Claim

NAD determined that the challenged express and implied “first and only carrier” compound claims could reasonably convey the message that AT&T is the first and only carrier to provide a guarantee for wireless networks and the first and only carrier to provide a guarantee for fiber networks.

AT&T presented no evidence that it is the first and/or only carrier to provide a guarantee or similar policy with respect to wireless or fiber networks. Therefore, NAD recommended that the “first and only” claims be discontinued.

In its advertiser statement AT&T stated that while it respectfully disagrees that any changes to the challenged advertising are necessary, it “will comply with NAD’s decision.”

• The Wolf’s Tailor becomes Colorado’s first Two Starred restaurant
• Three new One Starred restaurants join this year’s selection
• 50 total restaurants, 15 cuisine types reflected in state Guide

DENVER, Sept. 15, 2025 — The Wolf’s Tailor became the first Two MICHELIN Starred restaurant in Colorado as the 2025 MICHELIN Guide Colorado selection was revealed today.

In addition to a new Two Starred restaurant, the state Guide welcomes three new One MICHELIN Starred restaurants with Kizaki, Margot and Mezcaleria Alma, which are all located in Denver. This brings the selection’s total to eight One Starred restaurants. Additionally, Cozobi Fonda Fina in Boulder was awarded a Bib Gourmand for great food at a great value.

“Year three marks an exciting year for the Colorado selection, with the first Two Star restaurant being awarded to The Wolf’s Tailor,” said Gwendal Poullennec, the International Director of the MICHELIN Guide. “The selection is full of talent and a wide array of cuisine types proving Colorado is an international culinary destination for travelers both near and far. Congratulations to this year’s chefs and restaurant teams for your dedication and passion.”

Here are the new MICHELIN Star restaurants and Bib Gourmands, with Inspector notes from each (Inspectors’ comments in full on the MICHELIN Guide website and mobile app):

Two MICHELIN Stars

The Wolf’s Tailor (Denver; Contemporary cuisine)

Offering a seamless dining experience as intriguing as its name, this comfortable haven blends together creativity, attention to detail, and charm. Chef Taylor Stark and his team stitch together an ambitious multicourse menu from culinary influences near and far. The meal starts with a trio of canapés utilizing product trim, making a clear statement about the kitchen’s sustainable gastronomy efforts. From there, meals may include a Berkshire pork dumpling with a turmeric and dill broth, or velvety Colorado bison loin plated with apricot and grilled zucchini glazed with a dried shrimp caramel. A rigorous commitment to local sourcing as well as gorgeously manicured presentations underpin these far-flung creations.

One MICHELIN Star

Kizaki (Denver; Japanese cuisine)

Going back more than four decades, Chef Toshi Kizaki has been a veritable trailblazer of Denver’s sushi scene, but he’s not content to rest on his laurels. In a culmination of his long career, he now raises the stakes with this luxurious counter, bringing a new echelon of omakase to the Mile High City. Blending traditional edomae techniques and creative modern flourishes, the extensive menu alternates between small dishes like gorgeously marbled black-and-white sesame tofu and nigiri carefully crafted by Chef Kizaki himself. Exceptional ingredient quality is a given from start to finish, spanning a treasure trove of oceanic delicacies, from buttery, lightly seared black-throat sea perch to silvery, vinegar- accented gizzard shad.

Margot (Denver; Contemporary cuisine)

After years spent as an esteemed pop-up, Chef Justin Fulton’s passion project has found a permanent berth at a cozy eight-seat counter tucked inside a larger shared space. Offered as a contemporary multicourse tasting that follows the seasons, his signature cuisine is both global and distinctly Coloradan, taking inspiration from local ingredients while weaving together wide-ranging influences. Examples might include airy Parisian gnocchi bathed in a luxurious sauce of mascarpone and caviar, or impeccably cooked dry-aged duck breast matched with cherries and a rich, subtle truffle jus. Individual loaves of fluffy olive oil brioche, freshly baked for each guest, capture the meal’s easygoing charms, echoed by the disarmingly warm hospitality of the staff.

Mezcaleria Alma (Denver; Mexican cuisine)

Lightning strikes twice for dynamo Chef Johnny Curiel with this parallel concept cheek- by-jowl next to his celebrated flagship. As the name suggests, the small stylish space has a mezcal bar vibe—and a list of inventive, mouthwatering agave spirit-based cocktails to go with it—but it’s also a showcase for Chef Curiel’s culinary talents. Evoking the vibrant creativity of Mexico City’s restaurant scene, the succinct menu is sprinkled with international flavors, as in an herbaceous ceviche of kanpachi that incorporates dill and roasted garlic, or a subtly spiced aguachile of Santa Barbara uni and Hokkaido scallop with mandarin and crispy ginger. Meats, like tender, slow-cooked duck piled atop a crisp blue corn tlacoyo and accented with zingy xni-pec salsa, show similar éclat.

(2017); California (San Francisco in 2007, statewide 2019); Florida (Greater Miami, Orlando and Tampa in 2022, adding Greater Fort Lauderdale, The Palm Beaches and St. Pete-Clearwater in 2025, statewide in 2026); Toronto (2022); Vancouver (2022); Colorado (2023); Atlanta (2023), Mexico (2024), Texas (2024), Québec (2024), the American South (2025), Boston (2025) and Philadelphia (2025).

About the MICHELIN Guide

Recognized globally for excellence and quality, the MICHELIN Guide offers a selection of world-class restaurants.

• The famous one, two and three MICHELIN Stars identify establishments serving exceptional cuisine that’s rich in flavor, remarkably executed and infused with the personality of a talented chef.
• The Bib Gourmand is a designation given to select restaurants that offer good quality food for a good value – often known as personal favorites among the inspectors when dining on their own time.
• The MICHELIN Green Star honors restaurants that are pioneers in sustainable
• Recommended restaurants and special professional awards are also highlighted by the MICHELIN Guide inspectors.

The MICHELIN Guide remains a reliable companion for any traveler seeking an unforgettable meal and hospitality experience. The Guide was first published in France at the turn of the 20th century to encourage the development of car mobility as well as tire sales by giving practical advice to motorists. Progressively, the Guide has specialized in restaurant and hotel recommendations. Michelin’s inspectors still use the same criteria and manner of selection that were used by the inspectors in the very beginning.

The restaurant selections join the MICHELIN Guide selection of hotels, which features the most unique and exciting places to stay around the world. Visit the MICHELIN Guide website, or download the free app for iOS and Android, to discover every restaurant in the selection and book an amazing hotel.

Thanks to the rigorous MICHELIN Guide selection process that is applied independently and consistently in more than 60 destinations (60+ Guides), the MICHELIN Guide has become an international benchmark in fine dining.

All restaurants in the Guide are recommended by Michelin’s anonymous inspectors, who are trained to apply the same time-tested methods used by Michelin inspectors for many decades throughout the world. This ensures a uniform, international standard of excellence. As a further guarantee of complete objectivity, Michelin inspectors pay all their bills in full, and only the quality of the cuisine is evaluated.

To fully assess the quality of a restaurant, the inspectors apply five criteria defined by Michelin: product quality; mastery of cooking techniques; harmony of flavors; the personality of the chef as reflected in the cuisine; and consistency over time and across the entire menu. These criteria guarantee a consistent and fair selection so a Starred restaurant has the same value regardless of whether it is in Paris, New York or anywhere else in the world.

New York, NY – September 11, 2025 – As part of its marketplace monitoring program, BBB National Programs’ National Advertising Division investigated express and implied claims made by Ryze Superfoods, LLC in online advertising regarding the benefits and efficacy of its RYZE Mushroom Coffee and RYZE Mushroom Matcha products.

The National Advertising Division (NAD) inquired into Ryze Superfoods’ express claims that its Mushroom Coffee provides “all-day energy, sharper focus, healthier digestion, [] better immune support,” and “better sleep.” It also examined whether Ryze Superfoods’ advertising implied that its Mushroom Matcha product provides the same appetite-suppressing benefits as GLP-1 agonists without the side effects.

During the inquiry, Ryze Superfoods informed NAD that it had permanently discontinued the challenged express claims. As a result, NAD did not review the claims on the merits and the voluntarily discontinued claims will be treated, for compliance purposes, as though NAD recommended they be discontinued.

In its advertiser statement, Ryze Superfoods further informed NAD that it “is modifying the presentation of its advertising claims.”

Organized by ESPN Events, Game to Feature SEC, ACC or American Matchup at Protective Stadium in Birmingham this December

SAN DIEGO and BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 9, 2025 – JLab, a leading personal technology and audio brand known for delivering high-quality wireless earbuds, headphones, and office accessories at an incredible value, today announced it will serve as title sponsor of the JLab Birmingham Bowl under a new four-year agreement with ESPN Events.

The 19^th edition of the bowl game, now titled the JLab Birmingham Bowl, will kick off on Monday, Dec. 29, 2025, at 2 p.m. ET/1 p.m. CT from Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Ala., and will be presented live on ESPN. The matchup will include teams from the Southeastern Conference (SEC), the American Conference or the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), with selections announced Sunday, Dec. 7.

“JLab is all about breaking barriers, with high-quality tech that offers surprising value, and bringing people together – just like college football,” said Win Cramer, CEO of JLab. “Becoming the title sponsor of the Birmingham Bowl is more than a moment for us; it’s a chance to celebrate community, competition, and connection in Birmingham and beyond. We’re fired up to become the title sponsor!”

The agreement deepens JLab’s commitment to college athletics. Earlier this season, the San Diego-based company unveiled its 2025-26 JLab Playmaker roster, featuring 10 elite college football athletes from across the country, including Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin and Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green. These NIL and school partnerships, combined with the new bowl sponsorship, highlight how JLab is investing in the next generation of athletes while engaging fans nationwide through content and brand activations.

“We’re delighted to welcome JLab as the new title sponsor for the Birmingham Bowl and eager to collaborate with such a successful driven team doing great things in consumer electronics,” said Mark Meadows, Executive Director of the JLab Birmingham Bowl. “JLab is an innovative brand with an authentic voice in college sports, and their Playmaker roster underscores that commitment. Together, we’ll create memorable experiences for players, fans, and the Birmingham community.”

The multi-year agreement, brokered by rEvolution, JLab’s sports marketing agency of record, includes exclusive naming rights, digital and social content, in-stadium branding, product integration, and on-site activations leading up to and during the game. JLab will also provide custom headphones to participating teams across ESPN’s Bowl games, including the JLab Birmingham Bowl.

Since its inception in 2006, the bowl game – now titled the JLab Birmingham Bowl – has generated more than $190 million in economic impact for the Birmingham area, according to the Greater Birmingham Convention & Visitors Bureau. Through its partnership with the Monday Morning Quarterback Club, the game has also donated more than $490,000 to the Quarterbacking Children’s Health Foundation, supporting youth healthcare in the region.

New York, NY – September 5, 2025 – Following a monitoring challenge, BBB National Programs’ National Advertising Division found certain Achieve Debt Resolution claims supported but recommended Achieve modify other claims regarding the nature of the monthly payment as well as claims regarding scope of debt and a testimonial.

Achieve Debt Resolution provides settlement services to heavily indebted consumers with unsecured debt. At issue for the National Advertising Division (NAD) were advertising claims that convey the message that consumers who enroll in the Achieve program will not be harassed or sued by creditors during the time they are in the program, that they will make one low monthly payment to reduce their debt which will not impede their ability to pay any other bills, and that debt resolution estimates are typical and take into account program fees.

Scope of the Debt

NAD found the various references to “debt” on Achieve’s homepage confusing, since the references to the limitation of “enrolled” debt appeared only infrequently and inconspicuously, and material information qualifying the key claim “Get rid of debt faster – Leave debt behind faster — 24-48 months on average to resolve debt” appears at the bottom of the page far from the claim itself.

The evidence in the record indicated that most Achieve clients graduated from the program within 24-48 months. Additionally, based on the evidence provided, Achieve’s debt resolution estimates reflect the typical Achieve client experience and take into account program fees. NAD noted, however, that the reference to “faster” debt resolution does not make clear, in the context in which the claim appears, that the basis of the comparison is to the minimum payments made on credit card debt.

NAD recommended the claims be modified to make clear that not all debt (i.e., only unsecured debt) is covered by Achieve’s program, that “get rid of your debt faster” is as compared to making minimum unsecured debt payments, that a majority of Achieve graduates resolve their debt in 24-48 months, and to ensure relevant disclosures appear clearly and conspicuously.

Nature of the Monthly Payment

NAD found that the claim “These deposits are set aside to pay off settlements and will build up in a program account you control” was supported.

Regarding the claim “You could free up extra cash by making one low monthly deposit instead of struggling with high minimum debt payments,” although Achieve demonstrated that most clients negotiated a payment program with creditors that is more than 20 percent lower than minimum creditor payments, NAD noted that heavily indebted consumers may not reasonably consider a nearly $400 monthly payment to be “low.”

To avoid overstatement, NAD recommended the claim “You could free up extra cash by making one low monthly deposit instead of struggling with high minimum debt payments” be modified to refer to the deposit as comparatively “lower” rather than as “low.”

Testimonial

In a written and video testimonial, Kevin C., a freelance artist, credits the Achieve program with “greater peace of mind” and states, “Graduating from the program was a very up moment in my life. My debt was gone. You go from text, email, phone call, threats from 5 credit card companies to just quiet.” Based on the evidence in the record, it appears that Kevin C. graduated from the Achieve program and resolved his over $17,000 in unsecured debt. However, the evidence indicated that it took him three years and five months to pay off this debt. However, there is no reference on the website or in the video regarding the length of time it took Kevin to resolve his debt (or the debt of the other clients who are featured).

Accordingly, NAD recommended Achieve clearly and conspicuously disclose the length of time for program completion and that creditors may continue to contact clients about unresolved debts during enrollment.

During the inquiry, Achieve permanently discontinued certain challenged claims appearing on Instagram as well as the implied claims that reasonably arise from them. NAD will treat the voluntarily discontinued and related implied claims, for compliance purposes, as though NAD recommended they be discontinued.

In its advertiser’s statement, Achieve stated, it “agrees to comply with NAD’s recommendations.”

Premises liability and motor vehicle cases reach record levels

San Jose, CA — September 4, 2025 — Lex Machina®, the LexisNexis® Legal Analytics® platform, today announced the release of its 2025 Torts Litigation Report, providing a comprehensive, data-driven analysis of torts litigation in US federal courts from 2015 through 2024. The report gives companies and law firms exclusive, powerful insights to inform data-driven strategies for risk assessment and dispute resolution.

Key findings from the report include:

• Record Jury Awards: Federal juries awarded record verdicts in favor of tort claimants from 2022 through 2024, totaling more than $980 million (excluding costs, fees, and interest).
• Rising Wave of Independent Injury Lawsuits: Nearly 20% more torts cases launched in 2023 and 2024 compared to the 2021-22 period. Notably, 2024 saw the highest number of lawsuits in federal district courts for motor vehicle injuries and premises liability claims on record.
• Sharp Decline in FTCA Medical Malpractice Cases: In 2024, lawsuits for medical negligence against government entities under the Federal Tort Claims Act hit their lowest level since at least 2009, likely due to streamlined administrative procedures governing these claims.

“The Lex Machina Torts Litigation Report provides useful insights about litigation activity across courts and subject areas,” said Aurelia Sanchez, Head Librarian at Rivkin Radler LLP. “My firm has found it to be a helpful resource in understanding how the litigation landscape has evolved over time.”

“Tort litigation in the Federal District Courts increased generally over the past 10 years. But this increase has not occurred in all types of cases. Some areas of tort litigation, medical malpractice for example, have declined significantly,” said Ron Porter, Lex Machina Practice Lead for Torts Analytics. “Lex Machina can help lawyers, litigants and insurers make better decisions by giving them data-driven insights into past results and current trends into virtually every aspect of tort litigation, including case filings, resolutions, counsel, damage awards and more.”
