5TYNTK May 9: Wrong Address Fentanyl, Westbrook Baseball, Swiss Army, Charged Sips, Apple Stickers

1. Nearly 30 pounds of fentanyl pills were mailed to a Winslow home apparently by mistake. A resident reached out to police saying they had received a package from California but they had not ordered anything nor were they expecting anything. Police estimated the potential value of the drugs was up to $2 million. (WMTW)

2. The Westbrook School Department has suspended some players on the high school varsity baseball team and removed first-year coach John McCarthy from the program as it investigates a possible code of conduct violation. No further details were given.  The Westbrook Police Chief said that his department is not investigating McCarthy, and the information it received indicates the “alleged incident did not occur in the City of Westbrook.” (PH)

3. The company that makes the Swiss Army Knife is working on a new version without the knife. The CEO explained “We’re concerned about the increasing regulation of knives due to the violence in the world. In some markets, the blade creates an image of a weapon.” The new Swiss Army all-in-ones will be in addition to the original version of the Swiss Army Knife. (People)

4. Panera is getting rid of its Charged Sips drinks after two wrongful death lawsuits have been filed over the beverages’ caffeine content. The drinks contained anywhere between 155 milligrams and 302 milligrams of caffeine.  A regular 8-ounce cup of coffee contains only 95 milligrams. Both families say the drinks were assumed to be safe because they weren’t advertised as energy drinks. Panera later added a safety warning about the Charged Sips to its website. (CV)

5. Apple will no longer include the two packs of Apple stickers in the boxes of their new iPad Pros and iPad Airs. Retail locations will get Apple stickers to hand out to anyone who wants one.  Between 2.1 billion Apple Macs and iPhones have been sold, which means there’s a minimum of 4.2 billion of those stickers in the wild.
