Stanley is recalling millions of travel mugs, including more than 180,000 sold in Canada, because of a defect that poses a burn risk.

Health Canada says the Stanley-branded “Switchback” and “Trigger Action” mugs have a faulty lid that can shrink when exposed to heat and torque, and it may detach when in use.

The federal agency says it’s received three reports of this happening in Canada, including from one person who was injured.

Stanley says it’s sold 2.6 million of the mugs in the U.S., and 16 people have reported the lid detaching, resulting in two burn injuries.

Health Canada says people who have one of the affected mugs, which were sold between May 2016 and this month, should stop using the products and contact Stanley for a free replacement lid.

Stanley’s mugs were popularized on social media, but their most famous model, which features a handle and a straw, is not affected by the recall.

TYLER TATE / THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILES To suggest Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck can’t reach the level of Sergei Bobrovsky because Hellebuyck is 32 is simply a bad take — the current Stanley Cup champ Bobrovsky winning his second Cup Tuesday at the age of 36.

All quiet on the Hellebuyck front

Pull up a chair, folks, as we address the elephant in the room. Or, to be more precise, the decorated goaltender who is not in the room. Or on the ice. Or even in the city.

Not surprisingly, the Connor Hellebuyck situation took centre stage Tuesday as members of the Winnipeg Jets held their first media session following an informal, pre-training camp skate.

“We’re definitely going to get asked about it. That’s no chirp to anybody. I think that’s just the reality of the situation,” admitted veteran defenceman Dylan DeMelo, who took part in an hour-long practice at Hockey For All Centre that involved nearly every member of the organization.

With one very notable exception, of course.

Seven-year-old Ethan Minski is among tens of thousands of Manitoba students who have officially started a new school year.

Before entering King Edward School, Minski said he was most looking forward to phys-ed class.

“Everybody loves gym. It’s just fun!” the Grade 2 student said.

Labour board ruling halts Dynacare strike

The Manitoba Labour Board has cut short a strike by 350 lab workers employed by Dynacare who administer blood and urine tests for patients in Winnipeg, Brandon and surrounding communities.

The board ruled late Tuesday afternoon that the workers, who hit the picket line at 6 a.m., must return to work Wednesday.

Jason Linklater, president of their union, the Manitoba Association of Health Care Professionals, slammed the board’s decision.

“The Manitoba Labour Board is doing exactly what the government asked them to do: they are taking away our members’ right to fight for fairness,” he said in a statement.

There is a point in every government’s life when blaming the previous government stops being an explanation and starts becoming an excuse.

For Manitoba’s NDP government, that point has arrived.

Justice Minister Matt Wiebe was asked last week about a grievance filed by Crown attorneys over excessive workloads and a government attempt to keep a report documenting those workloads out of an upcoming arbitration hearing.

Wiebe said he couldn’t discuss the arbitration case.

Come one, come all, to Graham Avenue this weekend.

Organizers of the Weekender hope to welcome thousands of Winnipeggers to the streets and parking lots in and around the Graham Avenue pedestrian mall in what they are billing as “Downtown’s Biggest Street Party.”

Starting Friday evening and running through Sunday, the free festival boasts a plethora of ways by which visitors can enjoy themselves. From food trucks to markets, games to live music, classic cars and free bike repairs, the festival aims to provide a little something for everyone.

“The Weekender is truly about bringing people together, to have fun, to experience all that downtown has to offer,” says Olivia Billson, director of communications and public relations for Downtown Winnipeg BIZ, which is putting on the festival in conjunction with Smith Events and Arch Events.
