Television’s Shark Week started Sunday, July 24, 2022, but East Coast beachgoers got a sneak preview earlier this month. Sightings from Cape Cod to Rockaway Beach led to beach closures. If you’re worried about the apparent increase in shark attacks along the Atlantic Coast, a new shark tracking app from the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy was made for you.

We’re looking forward to National Peach Month, which begins on August 1.  

Peaches have been grown in New Jersey since the 1600’s. The Garden State still offers many pick-your-own venues. Maybe you’ll even have time to make one of these recipes for a delicious peach dessert.

On the Lighter Side

Sometimes Strength in Numbers Gets Results

Class actions can assist plaintiffs to level the playing field in a meaningful way, something Major League Baseball learned recently when it entered into a $185 million settlement of a lawsuit filed by minor league players. We’re also following two newer cases against recognizable defendants. A proposed class action has been filed against candy manufacturer Mars, alleging that Skittles are made using toxic dye. In a matter involving Bass Pro Shops, a customer has alleged that the retailer is violating its’ lifetime sock warranty.
