NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer is urging federal regulators to look into a “snortable chocolate” powder, saying he’s worried that it could prove harmful and is being marketed like a drug. In a letter Saturday, the New York Democrat asked the Food and Drug Administration to investigate the use of caffeine in inhalable food products such as so-called Coco Loko. It’s gotten buzz in recent weeks. Doctors Say New ‘Chocolate Snorting’ Trend Could Have Deadly Consequences Schumer, the Senate minority leader, says there are too many unanswered questions about a product pitched under the innocent-sounding name of chocolate. “This suspect product has no clear health value,” he said in a statement. “I can’t think of a single parent who thinks it is a good idea for their children to be snorting over-the-counter stimulants up their noses.” Marketed as “raw cacao snuff,” Coco Loko includes cacao powder, which comes from beans used in making chocolate; they contain some caffeine. Manufacturer Legal Lean Co. doesn’t detail other ingredients online, but according to news reports, Coco Loko also includes common energy-drink ingredients. It promises feelings of well-being, mental focus, ecstasy-like euphoria and a rush of “motivation that is great for partygoers to dance the night away without a crash,” according to Orlando, Florida-based Legal Lean’s website. It notes that the claims haven’t been vetted by the FDA. The agency has said it hasn’t yet determined whether it has authority to regulate snortable chocolate. Legal Lean Co., which sells Coco Loko online for $19.99 for a 1.25-ounce (3.5-gram) tin, did not return a call seeking comment. Founder Nick Anderson has said he didn’t consult any medical professionals but believes Coco Loko is safe. He said he developed it from snortable chocolate that’s circulated in Europe in recent years. “There’s really no negative publicity, so I felt we’re good to go,” he told ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Thursday. Doctors have said they’re not certain what the effects of inhaling chocolate might be. (© Copyright 2017 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved. The Associated Press contributed to this report.)

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Summer is garage sale season, but just because it’s on sale, doesn’t mean it’s a great deal. Sheik Kamalodeen scored himself quite a find at a recent garage sale in Mount Vernon — he paid just $5 for a vacuum cleaner. “I think one like this might be 90 bucks at the store, or more,” he told CBS2’s Valerie Castro. But the editors of Readers’ Digest said not everything at a garage sale is a great deal, even if it’s cheap. “Everybody wants to save money, but at some point you could end up with things that are just unsafe, plain old gross, or broken, and nobody wants that,” Aviva Patz, senior digital editor, Readers’ Digest said. The Readers’ Digest ‘Do Not Buy’ list includes several baby products; cribs because they could be subject to recalls, car seats since they may have been in an accident or have changing safety standards, and older bottles which might contain the chemical BPA. Some other items include makeup because it expires, hats for potential lices, and CDs and DVDs which may be scratched. Bathing suits are another item on the list, because they may not be sanitized and can easily rip. “I would not by undergarments,” Nancy Franco said, “Even if you clean it and disinfect it, I’m still not comfortable with that.” Some more no-no’s according to Readers’ Digest are shoes because of potential foot fungus, and stuffed animals. “Think about what your kids do to stuffed animals, you don’t even want to think about that,” Patz said. Readers’ Digest said if you still want the items, then buyer beware.

When Shopping At A Garage Sale, It’s ‘Buyer Beware’; Experts Say
“You could tell this wasn’t something [the dog’s owner] wanted to do,” animal shelter owner says
By Jason Keidel » More Columns In a season of serendipity for the Yankees, the latest happy surprise will be seeing five players, including three first-time, homegrown products, play in the All-Star Game next week in Miami. Already riding a dream rookie season of Herculean contours, Aaron Judge will start in the outfield. Judge is just a few batting average points from being the AL Triple Crown leader, and arched MLB’s eyebrows by swatting 27 homers before America’s birthday. For a club that all but ignored or eschewed its minor leagues for a decade, the Bronx Bombers have now cultivated the most fertile farm system in the sport. And it’s paying robust dividends. MORE : Judge To Make First Appearance As Starter In All-Star Game Joining this year’s rookie sensation is last year’s rookie sensation, Gary Sanchez, who belted 20 homers in August and September alone in 2016. And while Sanchez has been nagged by injuries this season, his production has been overlooked and underrated. Maybe Sanchez isn’t quite matching last year’s Ruthian deeds, but 13 homers and 40 RBIs in 51 games pro rata would equal at least 40 homers and 120 RBIs over a full season. He’s just not Judge this year. No one is . Yankees right-hander Luis Severino delivers a pitch in the sixth inning against the Rays at Yankees Stadium on April 13, 2017. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images) Joining the homegrown first-timers is Luis Severino, who pitched like the MLB equivalent of Mr. Irrelevant in 2016. After going 0-8 and being bumped back to the minors, Severino has had a surreal turnaround, going 5-4 with a 3.52 ERA and 114 strikeouts. Renowned and reviled for their bank-vault business model over the last 15 years — poaching other clubs’ best players, making it rain on free agents, while giving no regard to player development — the Yanks are back in business by doing business the right way. They have stocked their young talent pool while sprinkling the roster with veteran bats, arms, and leaders. MORE : Yankees’ Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez To Compete In Home Run Derby Rounding out the five pinstriped All-Stars are second baseman Starlin Castro, his first as a Yankee and fourth appearance in the Midsummer Classic overall, and relief pitcher Dellin Betances, who has been electric both as a set-up man and closer, depending on the club’s needs at any moment. Not only are the Yankees surprisingly plentiful with All-Stars, they are also tied for the most such players in the majors, joining the Houston Astros and Cleveland Indians in the AL, and the Washington Nationals from the NL, as the only clubs with five players invited to Marlins Park next week. No doubt the Yanks could use the good news this week, as the last few weeks have hardly been kind. And surely they could use the All-Star break to heal, regroup, or reboot. Between inconsistency and attrition the Yankees have not looked anything like the young darlings of the sport that darted out of the gate, clubbing their way through the AL East. Local media have branded this their “June swoon,” which is as apt as any characterization of the last month in the Bronx, an eyesore by any measure, which has seen the club grounded after such a splendid first two months of 2017. On June 1, the Yankees were in first place, at 31-20, a full three games ahead of the Boston Red Sox. Even on June 12, they were at their high water mark, 38-23, and four games ahead. Since then have since gone 6-14, and find themselves three games behind Boston. On June 12, the Yanks had outscored their opponents by 117 total runs (358-241). Since that date, they’ve been outscored by 13 runs (94-107). And strictly from a fun, aesthetic point of view, it will be swell to see Judge bring his formidable frame and epic bat to the Home Run Derby. Whether it’s superstition, narcissism, or fear of tweaking their swing, many MLB players balk at the Derby once they board the A-list, much like NBA stars who suddenly find themselves too delicate or important for the slam dunk contest. For a sport often chided for being stuck in the 8-track era, unwilling to mutate with the times, frowning upon youth and youthful exuberance and home run poses, this is a good time for baseball. It feels like we’re seeing the sunrise on a new epoch, led by established stars (Bryce Harper, Mike Trout) and surefire future stars (Judge, Sanchez, Cody Bellinger ). For the first time in a long time, several of those budding stars sparkle in the Bronx. Follow Jason on Twitter at @JasonKeidel
