Cedar Point sets date to reveal new ride

SANDUSKY, OHIO

Cedar Point is ready to announce its big plans for next year. The amusement park in Sandusky says it will unveil its new ride for 2016 on Sept. 9.

Signs are pointing at a new roller coaster for next season as track already is arriving outside the park.

Cedar Point delayed the announcement that was supposed to come in mid-August after a park visitor was hit and killed by a roller coaster. James A. Young of East Canton, 45, died after he jumped over a security fence to retrieve a cellphone that he dropped while riding the inverted Raptor roller coaster.

Nestle: Forced labor has no place in our food-supply chain

Nestle says “forced labor has no place in our supply chain” after a U.S. class-action lawsuit that alleges the Swiss food company knowingly supported a system of slave labor and human trafficking to make its Fancy Feast cat food.

Nestle didn’t deny the allegations in an email Sunday to The Associated Press but said its guidelines require suppliers to respect human rights. It outlined steps Nestle has taken to rid forced labor from its seafood supply chain.

The Hagens Berman law firm filed the suit Thursday on behalf of pet-food purchasers. It said they wouldn’t have bought the seafood-based pet food if they had known “slave labor” was used to obtain some ingredients in the products imported by Nestle and partner Thai Union Frozen Products.
