The director of the Topeka Zoo says a zookeeper who was attacked by a Sumatran tiger remains in intensive care but her prognosis for recovery is good.

The zookeeper was attacked Saturday while in the outdoor tiger habitat of Sanjiv, a 7-year-old male tiger.

The Topeka Capital-Journal reports zoo director Brendan Wiley said the zookeeper was talking Saturday night. Wiley said she remained in intensive care Sunday but could be transferred out of the unit soon.

The woman has worked at the zoo since 2002 and has several years of experience with tigers.

Wiley said the zoo is conducting an investigation and will determine what protocol changes might be needed after talking to the injured employee.

The zoo has no plans to euthanize Sanjiv, who was back on display Sunday.

A Rhode Island mom is warning parents about laundry pods. Back in 2017, a mom was doing laundry with her toddler at her feet. She heard a cry and saw the plastic lining of a laundry pod hanging out of his mouth and immediately rushed him to the ER. The laundry pod burned parts of his esophagus and the top of his stomach lining. He now has chronic breathing problems.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Rhode Island toddler who still suffers from breathing issues nearly two years after he accidentally swallowed a laundry pod is lucky to be alive, his mother said, after he spent three days on life support on the hospital.

"I knew it was bad but I didn't realize the severity of it," Katelyn Cunha Flores, Cotter Cunha's mother, told SWNS. "He was beginning to have difficulties breathing and his condition was deteriorating very quickly. They brought him into emergency surgery and managed to intubate him, using a very narrow tube normally used for smaller babies."

Flores said she was doing the laundry in July 2017 ahead of the family's trip to New Hampshire to celebrate the 4th of July while then-1-year-old Cotter played at her feet. She said when she turned her back to pack for a moment, she heard her son cry out.

"I turned around to see what was wrong and I saw his hands were covered in something," the 30-year-old told the news outlet. "That's when I noticed the plastic of the pod hanging out of his mouth."

"It was the most awful night of my life."
- Katelyn Cunha Flores

Laundry detergent packets can be tossed straight into the washing machine without having to measure the right amount of liquid, but pose a risk to young children, according to Nationwide Children's Hospital. The hospital describes the packets as "the perfect size and shape to be picked up" by toddlers, who may then pop it into their mouths.

Flores said the convenience of the packets does not outweigh the damage they can do.

"The colorful packets can also look like candy or juice to a young child," according to the hospital. "Any kind of detergent can be harmful, but the chemicals in laundry detergent packets are especially concentrated. Children who swallow those chemicals have had trouble breathing, have lapsed into comas, and have had other serious health problems. There have even been a few deaths. Even just touching the chemicals can cause burns and other injuries."
DOCTORS RACING TO FIND OUT WHY BABY WAS BORN WITHOUT MOST OF HIS SKIN
Health agencies and physicians groups have long warned about the dangers of these products, especially the risk they pose to young children. A 2016 study published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recorded 62,254 calls to U.S. poison control centers between 2013 and 2014 for unintentional exposure to laundry or dishwasher detergent involving children under 6. Children under 3 accounted for the majority of calls.

Flores said she immediately put Cotter in the car and headed to Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence, where he was admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit. She said an endoscopy revealed that the detergent had burned parts of his esophagus and the top of his stomach lining. She told SWNS that Cotter coded the first night in the hospital and that she "didn't think he would make it through."

"It was the most awful night of my life," she told SWNS.

After three days on life support, Cotter began showing signs of improvement and he was extubated, but doctors are unsure about the long-term impact of his injuries. Flores said that while he was hospitalized, doctors discovered he had a birth defect that caused his airway to be a different shape.

"When he gets sick now, or coughs, it is a really harsh cough," she told SWNS. "It sounds like he has croup. He has a nebulizer too."

Flores is warning other parents about the potentially fatal consequences of using the pods, and insists "there is absolutely no need to use them."

"We got very lucky," she told SWNS.

Miss Costa is a 1,688 lb great white who was spotted swimming long the Gulf of Mexico this week. It is rare for sharks of such sized to enter the Gulf, so her movement is being monitored for study. She is estimated to be from 14-16 feet long. She is now the heaviest shark to enter the Gulf in the last two months, bypassing the last two heavy weight sharks recorded in the area (Hilton 1,326, and Savannah 460)

A 1,688-pound female great white shark called Miss Costa was spotted this week swimming in the Gulf of Mexico off the Florida panhandle, according to researchers

A transmitter on the sub-adult shark "pinged" south of Panama City, Fla., according to OCEARCH, an international great white shark research organization. A "ping" occurs when a tagged shark's dorsal fin breaks the surface of the water, transmitting a signal to a satellite, the organization told the Pensacola News Journal.
GREAT WHITE SHARKS ARE AFRAID OF ORCAS, STUDY FINDS
While it isn't unusual for great whites to swim through the Gulf of Mexico, Miss Costa's cruise through the Florida Panhandle is significant because a ping from a large female that far north into the Gulf is rare, OCEARCH said in a news release Tuesday.

The organization said it hopes that tracking Miss Costa and other great white sharks will help to understand the movement patterns of sharks in the Gulf.

Miss Costa measured 12-feet 6-inches when she was first tagged by researchers on Sept. 23, 2016, in Nantucket, Mass., OCEARCH said. Researchers estimated the great white could be between 14-15 feet long today.

The most recent great white sharks to visit the Gulf Coast include a 1,326-pound male named Hilton and an 8-foot 6-inch, 460-pound female named Savannah, the News Journal reported.

The Ralph Lauren Polo company is making an attempt to be environmentally safe, and making their new Polos with plastic bottles. The shirts are manufactured in Taiwan where plastic bottles are used; 12 bottles are used per shirt and water is not used to make them.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Earth, meet Polo.

Polo Ralph Lauren on Thursday launched a version of its iconic polo shirt made entirely of recycled plastic bottles and dyed through a process that uses zero water.

David Lauren, the youngest son of the companys founder and its chief innovation officer, told The Associated Press ahead of the announcement that the new shirt is part of a broader strategy of fresh environment al goals throughout the manufacturing process.

Every day were learning about whats happened with global warming and whats happening all around the world, and our employees and our customers are really feeling that its time to step up and make a difference, Lauren said.

The Polo isnt the first of its kind. Smaller brands around the world are using repurposed and recycled materials. In announcing Earth Polo, Ralph Lauren committed to removing at least 170 million bottles from landfills and oceans by 2025. The shirts are manufactured in Taiwan, where the bottles are collected. Each uses an average 12 bottles.

The shirts are produced in partnership with First Mile, an organization that collects the bottles turned into yarn and, ultimately, fabric. The new fibers will also be used for existing performance wear already made of polyfibers, which are popular for their ability to wick away moisture.

The Earth Polo went on sale Thursday, ahead of Mondays Earth Day, at RalphLauren.com and retail stores around the world. It comes in styles for men and women in green, white, navy and light blue. The shirts are not more expensive than other Polos.

Ralph Lauren has taken on environmental initiatives over the years, but its putting into place a more significant strategy aimed at changing both its corporate culture and how it thinks about the clothes it produces. The effort includes a new supply chain and sustainability officer, Halide Alagoz, who said more details will be released in June.

At the moment were refreshing our approach and framework around sustainability, she said.

Among the companys other goals: the use of 100 sustainably sourced cotton by 2025 and 100 recyclable or sustainably sourced packaging materials by the same year.

Other fashion powerhouses are also getting more aggressive on the environment.

Late last year, Burberry and H&M were among fashion stakeholders to sign on to the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action, launched at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP24, in Poland. The charter contains a vision to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Ralph Lauren is not a signatory but is exploring the call to action.

As for Earth Polo, a huge threat facing oceans today involves trillions of tiny plastic and chemical-covered non-plastic microfibers that flow from washing machines through drain water, placing smaller fish and other sea life, such as anemones, at risk. Alagoz said Ralph Lauren is working with experts who say the impact of turning a plastic bottle into recycled microfiber is much less than that bottle ending up in the ocean.

The broader question of biodegradability of such fibers remains unresolved. For Polo Earth, the story is about recycling and reusing, Lauren said.

Theres so much out in the world that is not good for the environment. Whatever materials we can turn into threads, well start looking at other opportunities, he said. Right now, were trying to make sure that what we produce is as good for the environment as possible, or at least helps clean up another problem. Are we creating a new problem? I think were creating solutions, or at least trying to find solutions.

Patient Zero in Michigan measles outbreak thought he was immune because he had it before. He drove from Michigan to New York since then there have been nearly 40 reported cases in Michigan. He went to the doctor and was misdiagnosed with bronchitis but after getting a suspicious rash across his face his doctor contacted the Health department.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The man who is believed to have brought the ongoing measles outbreak to Michigan thought he was immune to the disease, according to a doctor who spoke with him.

The man, who remains unidentified but is believed to be "patient zero" in Michigan, traveled to the Great Lake state from New York in March.

The man had previously traveled to the U.S. from Israel in November, making it unlikely that he was infected then, and more likely that he caught the disease while in New York, according to Steve McGraw, the emergency medical services director for Oakland County, Michigan, who spoke to him days after he was diagnosed.

It is not clear if the man is a U.S. citizen.

There have been hundreds of confirmed cases of measles in New York since an outbreak started there in 2018, and has continued into 2019.

During the roughly 15-hour drive from New York to Michigan, the man felt fine, but "he got sick when he arrived, started having a fever, cough and headache," McGraw said. He added that in early March, it isn't uncommon for people in Michigan to have those symptoms.

After seeking a doctor's opinion, the man was misdiagnosed with bronchitis, but according to McGraw, the man returned the next day. That's when the doctor became concerned when he saw a rash on the man's face.

The doctor "did a heroic thing and he called the health department," McGraw said. Officials then had trouble finding the man with measles because he "did not have a reliable cell phone" and "wasn't really on any particular itinerary."

McGraw said that the patient was fundraising on behalf of Orthodox Jewish charities and "he would be in, sometimes, three different synagogues in a day."

Once it was determined where the man was, McGraw, who is also the medical director of the Detroit-area Hatzalah, which is an emergency medical service for Orthodox Jews, met with him. After communicating with him through a translator -- because the man does not read or speak English -- McGraw was able to tell him that "this was definitely measles."

"He was really upset," McGraw said. "He really had no idea he had been sick that way, especially that he had been contagious."

The outbreak in Michigan's Oakland County started in mid-March, and 39 cases have been confirmed since then. There have also been three other individual measles cases in three other counties.

(The Washington Post via Getty Images, FILE) Dr. John Marshall, the Chairman of the Emergency department of the Maimonides Medical Center, looks at equipment in the isolation room serving children from Ultra-Orthodox communities, a day after New York City declared a public health emergency amid a measles outbreak on April 10th, 2019.

Michigan is one of 20 states where there have been confirmed cases of measles this year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there have been 555 confirmed cases nationwide.

Many of those connected to the outbreaks have ties to communities with low vaccination rates, and Orthodox Jewish communities in New York have been impacted extensively.

McGraw said that the Orthodox Jewish community in Oakland County was very receptive to treating the measles outbreak and having individuals get vaccinated. Rabbis worked with local synagogues to open vaccination clinics, leading to "hundreds and hundreds of people waiting in line just to get their vaccination," McGraw said.

The individual who brought the disease to Michigan suffered from what McGraw said is a common misconception -- the man, who is in his 40s or 50s, believed that he was immune from the disease because he said he had it when it was younger.

"He was told he was immune because he had the measles [when he was younger], that's why initially he completely discounted his [the doctor's] suggestion," McGraw said.

"I know people who believed they were fully immune because they had measles, and then they had measles in the past month and a half," McGraw said, referring to other cases.

The timing and widespread roll out of the measles vaccine can also play a role in whether or not someone has full immunity. Prior to 1989, doctors typically only issued one vaccination, but after that date, two vaccinations for measles became standard. One immunization is 93 percent effective while two are 97 percent effective, according to the CDC.

McGraw's advice is to get another immunization if there is any question as to whether or not you had two doses.

"Nothing is as good as certainty. Unless you know you've had two, just get a second one," McGraw said.

The CDC considers anyone who had two doses as a child as protected for life from the disease, and said that adults only need one dose, but there are cases where a second adult dose would be helpful.

"Adults who are going to be in a setting that poses a high risk for measles transmission should make sure they have had two doses separated by at least 28 days," the CDC's website reads. "These adults include students at post-high school education institutions, healthcare personnel, and international travelers."

A baby T-rex is currently for sale for a cheap cost of 3 million dollars on ebay. It was found by an archaeologist in 2013 and has since been touring around the state of Kansas but was recently returned to it's owner

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A fossil hunter in Kansas hopes to get more than a few bites on the remains of a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex that he listed on eBay for just under $3 million.

Alan Detrich, an archaeologist and fossil hunter, told NBC News that the remains were found by his brother Robert in 2013 in a marsh in Hell Creek Formation in Montana.

The dinosaur bones have a "buy it now" price of $2.9 million, as well as the option to "make an offer."

Detrich said it is "most likely the only baby T-Rex" in the world. It has a 15-foot body, 21-inch skull and 12 serrated teeth in its lower jaw, according to the item description.

"This Rex was a very, very dangerous meat eater," Detrich said. It was approximately 4-years-old when it died.

The item description had originally associated itself with the University of Kansas' Natural History Museum, where the T-Rex was recently on display, which resulted in the school facing backlash on social media.

"As an alum, I am disappointed to see the state's most important natural history museum acting as a shill for commercial fossil sales," Patricia Holroyd said in a recent tweet.

The museum responded by saying it "does not sell or mediate the sale of specimen to private individuals" and that the T-Rex was removed from exhibit and returned to its owner.

The museum director also said he asked Detrich to remove any association with it from his listing.

Detrich's listing has been viewed almost 60,000 times, notching about 55 views per hour.

Buyers beware: All sales are final - Detrich says he does not accept returns.

A student at the University at Buffalo died a few days after a potential hazing incident. The student was rushed to the hospital and put on life support after he collapsed at a fraternity house.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A University at Buffalo student who was on life support after a "potential" hazing incident over the weekend died on Wednesday.

The school in western New York delivered the news that 18-year-old Sebastian Serafin-Bazanhad died in a statement.

"I am deeply saddened to share with you that UB freshman Sebastian Serafin-Bazan passed away today," University at Buffalo President Satish K. Tripathi said in a statement. "Our hearts go out to Sebastian's family for the devastating heartbreak they are experiencing. We extend our sincerest condolences to the Serafin-Bazan family and to all of Sebastian's friends here at UB and in his hometown of Port Chester, N.Y. We join them in mourning the tragic loss of a member of our UB family."

Serafin-Bazanhad was rushed to Buffalo General Hospital after collapsing at Sigma Pi's fraternity house and placed on life support, according to Buffalo ABC affiliate WKBW.

At the time, the Buffalo Police Department referred to the incident as "an incident of potential hazing" in a tweet Friday afternoon.

(WKBW) A student was critically injured in a "potential" hazing incident at the University at Buffalo's Sigma Pi house on Custer Street in Buffalo, N.Y., on Friday, April 12, 2019.

The incident prompted Tripathi to immediately suspend all Greek life on campus and open an investigation into the incident.

The national chapter of Sigma Pi said on Saturday it was "gathering information and, if necessary, will provide further comment after all facts have been gathered."

The group reiterated that in a message of condolences after the student's death Wednesday.

"The entire Sigma Pi family is deeply saddened to learn of the tragic passing of Sebastian Serafin-Bazan," Jonathan Frost, executive director and CEO of Sigma Pi Fraternity & Foundation, said in a statement. "We extend our heartfelt condolences to Sebastian's family and friends during this extremely difficult time. We remain in communication with the Buffalo Police Department and University officials, and have offered our support for their ongoing investigation. We will be initiating an internal investigation and review once the police have concluded their fact-finding."

(AP Photo/David Duprey) In this Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2012 file photo shows the University at Buffalo campus in Buffalo, N.Y. Sebastian Serafin-Bazan, a University at Buffalo student, died Wednesday, April 17, 2019, from a suspected hazing incident last week.

Authorities are still awaiting autopsy results to determine how Serafin-Bazanhad died.

Tripathi urged students to speak to someone if needed: "If you are struggling, please know that our university counselors are here to provide you support in the aftermath of this terrible loss. As we grieve Sebastian's passing today and well beyond, it is my hope that each of us pauses to remind ourselves that we can only uphold our humanity by treating each other with dignity, compassion and kindness."

A Sigma Pi student at Ohio University died after an alleged hazing incident in November. The family of that student, Collin Wiant, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Sigma Pi and another 10 unnamed individuals in February.

Last night the NFL released the 2019 schedule. And with that, the Browns have 4 prime time games this year. 3 of them being within the first 5 weeks of the season. With all the hype and anticipation for the Cleveland Browns, we will see how it goes.

ESPN.com national NFL writer

ESPN.com NFC North reporter, 2008-2013

Covered Vikings for Minneapolis Star Tribune, 1999-2008

The NFL is on board with the Cleveland Browns.

The league granted the Browns four prime-time games in 2019, including three in the first five weeks of the season, perhaps the most notable takeaway from Wednesday night's schedule release.

No team has appeared in fewer prime-time games over the past 10 seasons than the Browns (11). During that span, the franchise accumulated an NFL-worst 41-118-1 record. But the Browns won five of their final seven games in 2018 after inserting quarterback Baker Mayfield into the starting lineup, and their offseason trades for wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and pass-rusher Olivier Vernon have further elevated excitement about the team.

If you're thinking about seeing the Browns in prime time this year, here's a live look at ticket prices from Vivid Seats.
Disclaimer: Vivid Seats is ESPN's ticketing partner and ESPN gets a commission on any sales driven through this link.
The Browns will open their prime-time schedule in Week 2 at the New York Jets on ESPN's Monday Night Football. In Week 3, they will host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football (NBC).

In Week 5, they will play on Monday night at the San Francisco 49ers. Finally, they will host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night in Week 11.

The league will continue its flexible schedule program. Beginning in Week 11, the league will have the option to move Sunday afternoon games to Sunday night to ensure quality matchups.

The NFL will open the regular season, the 100th in its history, on Sept. 5 with the 199th meeting between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. The Super Bowl LIII champion New England Patriots will open at home on Sept. 8 against the Steelers on Sunday Night Football.

The Patriots' schedule also features a rematch of last season's AFC Championship Game, as New England will host Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14. Some other highlights on New England's schedule include a Week 8 home game against the Browns, a Week 9 game on Sunday night in Baltimore against the Ravens, a Week 11 game at Philadelphia against the Eagles and a Week 12 game at home against the Dallas Cowboys.

All 32 teams will appear in at least one game on Thursday, Sunday or Monday night.

The season ends Dec. 29, when Chicago finishes at Minnesota for the fourth successive year. All finales are divisional games for the 11th straight season.

"This is an exciting time," said Giants coach Pat Shurmur, whose team opens at Dallas. "This week, we started the offseason program. And now we can see when we're going to play. We knew who our opponents would be and where we are going to play, but there's an excitement that builds once the schedule comes out."

Among the oddities of the schedule: In one stretch, the Raiders will go seven weeks before playing a game in Oakland. They entertain the Chiefs on Sept. 15 then have road games at Minnesota and Indianapolis, host Chicago in London, are off Oct. 13, and then go to Green Bay and Houston. They return to Oakland on Nov. 3.

The Buccaneers also will be road weary early in their schedule They host the Giants on Sept. 22 then have a six-week stretch that includes four road games, one game in London and a bye week before finally returning to Tampa Bay on Nov. 10 for a matchup with the Cardinals.

One team, Philadelphia, has three straight home games and three consecutive road games. No other team has three away games in a row, though the Rams will be away from Los Angeles for a visit to Atlanta on Oct. 20, that "home'' contest in London the next week, then a bye and a trip to Pittsburgh.

Also with three straight home games will be Green Bay, Atlanta, Arizona, San Francisco, Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Houston.

Meanwhile, history buffs will be counting down the weeks as two quarterbacks approach Peyton Manning's record for career touchdown passes (539).

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees needs 20 touchdown throws to break the record; if he follows his career pace of about 1.9 touchdown passes per game, he will eclipse Manning in Week 12 at Tampa Bay. The Saints play at home against the Falcons and Carolina Panthers on either side of that game.

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady needs 23 touchdown passes to get past Manning. At his career pace, he would project to do it in Week 13 at the Houston Texans. The Patriots play at home against the Cowboys and Chiefs on either side of that game.

As soon as the Miami high school student arrived in Denver on Monday night, she legally bought a pump-action shotgun at a shop less than two miles from Columbine High School, the FBI said. Authorities in Miami notified their Denver counterparts that she was armed and considered a threat to the Columbine High School, leading to a shut down of at least 19 school districts in the Denver area. About 24 hours later, she was found dead in the mountains outside Denver on Wednesday.

A farmer in Kansas listed bones of a baby T-Rex on e-Bay and is hoping to get a small $3 million. He is saying it's probably the only baby T-Rex in the world.

A fossil hunter in Kansas hopes to get more than a few bites on the remains of a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex that he listed on eBay for just under $3 million.

Alan Detrich, an archaeologist and fossil hunter, told NBC News that the remains were found by his brother Robert in 2013 in a marsh in Hell Creek Formation in Montana.

The dinosaur bones have a "buy it now" price of $2.9 million, as well as the option to "make an offer."

Detrich said it is "most likely the only baby T-Rex" in the world. It has a 15-foot body, 21-inch skull and 12 serrated teeth in its lower jaw, according to the item description.

"This Rex was a very, very dangerous meat eater," Detrich said. It was approximately 4-years-old when it died.

The item description had originally associated itself with the University of Kansas' Natural History Museum, where the T-Rex was recently on display, which resulted in the school facing backlash on social media.

"As an alum, I am disappointed to see the state's most important natural history museum acting as a shill for commercial fossil sales," Patricia Holroyd said in a recent tweet.

The museum responded by saying it "does not sell or mediate the sale of specimen to private individuals" and that the T-Rex was removed from exhibit and returned to its owner.

The museum director also said he asked Detrich to remove any association with it from his listing.

Detrich's listing has been viewed almost 60,000 times, notching about 55 views per hour.

Buyers beware: All sales are final - Detrich says he does not accept returns.

A Rhode Island toddler who still suffers from breathing issues nearly two years after he accidentally swallowed a laundry pod is lucky to be alive, his mother said, after he spent three days on life support on the hospital.

A Rhode Island toddler who still suffers from breathing issues nearly two years after he accidentally swallowed a laundry pod is lucky to be alive, his mother said, after he spent three days on life support on the hospital.

"I knew it was bad but I didn't realize the severity of it," Katelyn Cunha Flores, Cotter Cunha's mother, told SWNS. "He was beginning to have difficulties breathing and his condition was deteriorating very quickly. They brought him into emergency surgery and managed to intubate him, using a very narrow tube normally used for smaller babies."

Flores said she was doing the laundry in July 2017 ahead of the family's trip to New Hampshire to celebrate the 4th of July while then-1-year-old Cotter played at her feet. She said when she turned her back to pack for a moment, she heard her son cry out.

"I turned around to see what was wrong and I saw his hands were covered in something," the 30-year-old told the news outlet. "That's when I noticed the plastic of the pod hanging out of his mouth."

"It was the most awful night of my life."

Laundry detergent packets can be tossed straight into the washing machine without having to measure the right amount of liquid, but pose a risk to young children, according to Nationwide Children's Hospital. The hospital describes the packets as "the perfect size and shape to be picked up" by toddlers, who may then pop it into their mouths.

Flores said the convenience of the packets does not outweigh the damage they can do.

"The colorful packets can also look like candy or juice to a young child," according to the hospital. "Any kind of detergent can be harmful, but the chemicals in laundry detergent packets are especially concentrated. Children who swallow those chemicals have had trouble breathing, have lapsed into comas, and have had other serious health problems. There have even been a few deaths. Even just touching the chemicals can cause burns and other injuries."
DOCTORS RACING TO FIND OUT WHY BABY WAS BORN WITHOUT MOST OF HIS SKIN
Health agencies and physicians groups have long warned about the dangers of these products, especially the risk they pose to young children. A 2016 study published by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recorded 62,254 calls to U.S. poison control centers between 2013 and 2014 for unintentional exposure to laundry or dishwasher detergent involving children under 6. Children under 3 accounted for the majority of calls.

Flores said she immediately put Cotter in the car and headed to Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence, where he was admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit. She said an endoscopy revealed that the detergent had burned parts of his esophagus and the top of his stomach lining. She told SWNS that Cotter coded the first night in the hospital and that she "didn't think he would make it through."

"It was the most awful night of my life," she told SWNS.

After three days on life support, Cotter began showing signs of improvement and he was extubated, but doctors are unsure about the long-term impact of his injuries. Flores said that while he was hospitalized, doctors discovered he had a birth defect that caused his airway to be a different shape.

"When he gets sick now, or coughs, it is a really harsh cough," she told SWNS. "It sounds like he has croup. He has a nebulizer too."

Flores is warning other parents about the potentially fatal consequences of using the pods, and insists "there is absolutely no need to use them."

"We got very lucky," she told SWNS.

Parents of a 29 year old man are filing a wrongful death suit because their son died from a brain eating amoeba. The water at the Texas water park was not treated correctly and it was said to contain amounts of feces and low chlorine levels. The waters conditions are perfect for accelerating the growth of harmful bacteria.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The mother and father of a New Jersey man who died of a rare brain-eating amoeba after visiting a Texas water park have filed a wrongful death lawsuit, according to court documents obtained by ABC News.

Fabrizio Stabile, 29, died from a brain infection on Sept. 21, less than two weeks after he was exposed to the rare but deadly Naegleria fowleri amoeba while surfing at BSR Surf Resort in Waco, Texas. People can contract the amoeba from contaminated water entering the body through the nose.

Testing conducted at the water sports facility by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found evidence of Naegleria fowleri in BSR Cable Park's natural body of water, according to the Waco-McLennan County Public Health District.

Although the amoeba wasn't detected at the venue's Surf Resort, Lazy River and Royal Flush, the water at those three man-made attractions was cloudy, contained organisms indicating the presence of feces, had low chlorine levels and, when the water warms, would create conditions favorable to Naegleria fowleri growth.

The man's parents, Rita and Vincenzo Stabile, sued water sports facility last week, claiming their son's death could have been prevented had the park "exercised ordinary care" to keep the water quality safe.

"BSR's blue-green dyed waves masked a pathogen soup in which Naegleria fowleri amoeba -- the 'brain-eating amoeba' -- could thrive," the lawsuit states. "Rita and Vincenzo Stabile have suffered severe mental anguish, grief and sorrow as a result of the death of their only son Fabrizio Stabile and are likely to continue to suffer for a long time in the future."

(ABC News) BSR Surf Resort owner Stuart E. Parsons Jr. defended his waterpark's actions in an interview with "Good Morning America" on Wednesday, April 17, 2019.

The family is seeking more than $1 million in monetary relief and demanding a trial by jury, according to the lawsuit.

Stuart Parsons, owner of BSR Cable Park and Surf Resort, said a new water filtration system has since been installed and he now feels "very comfortable" with the water conditions at his facility.

"When we find out that, you know, there was a chance that he could have got the, you know, the amoeba in our water, it really, you know, it shocked us," Parsons told ABC News in an interview airing Thursday on "Good Morning America."

"It's something that can happen anywhere," he continued. "I just wanted to make sure that we were, you know, that we were covered."

Parsons reiterated that the testing didn't find evidence of Naegleria fowleri in the water where the man was surfing, but he said the tragic incident has made him aware of the issue.

"Nobody should have to bury their children," he told ABC News. "My heart goes out to Fab's family."
