A New Jersey company that operates 13 TGI Fridays restaurants accused of secretly replacing premium liquor with low-quality booze says it's shocked at the allegations.
At one bar, a mixture that included rubbing alcohol and caramel coloring was sold as scotch. In another, premium liquor bottles were refilled with water - and apparently not even clean water at that.
CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KFVS) -
Did you know extreme heat is hard on your
electronic gadgets, which could be hazardous to your health?
With temperatures in the 90s and
100s your cell phone and other gadgets like your tablet and lap top could wind
up with heat stroke.
Leaving your device on
your dashboard on days like today is about the worst thing you can do.
It can cause permanent
damage.
Many smart phones have an
alert. Many say their phone became disabled showing it was too hot.
Those lithium ion
batteries inside can expand and stop working in the heat.
In extreme cases the
batteries can explode, causing a potentially toxic situation.
"Most electronic
devices and the batteries will both have internal temperature sensors which
will cause them to warn you or shut down in an overheat," said Eric
Bennett, Co-Owner of Velocity Electronics in Cape Girardeau. "My advice is
to keep electronics out of heat, and if you do have to get them out in the heat
have air flow on them."
Extreme temps are not good
for your device overall.
Experts say heat can
decrease the life of not just the battery, but the entire gadget.
