Noteworthy

  • A Prairie Village man has sued medical technology company Philips over a CPAP machine he used to treat sleep apnea for several years before developing lung cancer. The company issued a recall on the machines that affected three to four million devices worldwide, and the FDA announced last month that they had received over 100 reports associated with recalled CPAP machines.

  • Virginia Franzese, a Leawood mother of a transgender son, is worried that the Blue Valley School District may not be a safe place for her son to attend school. This comes after she says her son faced bullying from his peers, and school board member Jim McMullen came under fire for discriminatory tweets toward the LGBTQ+ community earlier this year. [KCUR
