STATE HOUSE — Gov. Charlie Baker wagered a box with Indiana Gov. Mike Pence when the New England Patriots played the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC championship game in January, and again with Gov. Jay Inslee when the Patriots squared off against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX.
And when Boston University and the University of North Dakota were set to drop the puck in the Frozen Four national semi-final, he bet North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple another box that the Terriers would advance.
BOSTON – With the biggest shopping day right around the corner, many American retailers still sell dangerous or potentially toxic children's toys, according to consumer groups that advise parents to be on watch for hazardous gifts.
Parents and others shopping for children should double check for potential problems before buying, the Boston-based Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group, or MassPIRG, said an annual report on the issue. It singled out potentially deadly chemicals such as chromium and phthalates, which can pose serious health risks for developing children.
