(MCKEAN COUNTY, Pennsylvania: July 21, 2026): District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer reports on the medication drop boxes location throughout McKean County. The boxes are for the benefit of anyone who wants to get rid of unused medication. Each quarter, a County Detective with the District Attorney’s Office empties the boxes and arranges for their destruction by a member of the National Guard as part of a state-wide initiative to reduce access to opiates. The medication drop boxes are located inside the Kane Municipal Building, Bradford Township Municipal Building, City of Bradford Police Department and McKean County Sheriff’s Department. The boxes were sponsored by the Pennsylvania District Attorney’s Association and PA American Water Company. A box is also located at the Pennsylvania State Police-Lewis Run barracks. The weight of the drugs collected at each of the boxes this quarter was as follows: Kane = 6.5 lbs.; Bradford Township = 16.5 lbs.; McKean County Sheriff’s Office = 24 lbs.; City of Bradford Police = 83.5 lbs.; PA State Police = 3 lbs. DA Vettenburg-Shaffer urges county residents to look in their cabinets for unused medication and take it to the nearest box to keep it out of the hands of anyone other than the person to whom it was prescribed. If you suspect illegal drug activity, please contact Chief County Detective Ryan Yingling at the District Attorney’s Office at (814) 887-3312 or submit a tip to McKeanDA.org.

Relay Peak Research LLC (Zen Principle Naturals) of Incline Village, NV is voluntarily recalling its Zen Principle® brand Moringa Capsules dietary supplement because the product has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
The product was distributed nationwide from December 2025 through July 2026, sold to consumers online primarily through Amazon.com and the company’s website, zenprinciple.com. Additionally, one unit was sold on eBay and one unit on Etsy.
The recalled product is Zen Principle® brand Moringa Capsules, 180 capsules packaged in a plastic bottle.

The product is offered as a 1-pack (180 capsules; Amazon code/FNSKU X000ZJJ4FT) and as a 2-pack (twin pack, 360 capsules; Amazon code/FNSKU X00159YJXP). No other products are impacted.

Taylor Farms de Mexico of Guanajuato, Mexico is voluntarily removing all iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico from the U.S. market, because it has the potential to be contaminated with Cyclospora. Most people infected with Cyclospora develop diarrhea, with frequent bowel movements. Other common symptoms include loss of appetite, weight loss, stomach cramps/pain, bloating, increased gas, nausea, and fatigue. Vomiting, body aches, headache, and fever may be noted. Some people who are infected with Cyclospora do not have any symptoms. If not treated, the illness may lead to dehydration and severe complications that may require higher levels of care. These complications may last from a few days to a month or longer. Symptoms may seem to go away and then return one or more times (relapse). Immunocompromised persons may experience more severe illness of longer duration along with complications requiring close medical attention.
This action was prompted by the multistate Cyclospora outbreak https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/investigation-5-state-outbreakcyclospora-illnesses-iceberg-lettuce-july-2026. We are actively removing the implicated products. The company has stopped receiving product from the implicated lot, suspended distribution of the iceberg lettuce from Central Mexico, notified our customers, and we are continuing to work with the FDA, CDC, and state authorities.

Timothy C. Schneider, 90, of W. Condot Road, St. Marys, passed away on Sunday, July 19, 2026, at Pinecrest Manor following a brief illness with his family by his side.
He was born on March 19, 1936 in St. Marys, PA, a son of the late Leo and Anna Mertz Schneider.
On October 6, 1956, he married Wanda Cuneo, who survives. Together they have been blessed with nearly 70 years of love and marriage.
A man of deep and unwavering faith, Tim lived his life guided by his love of God and devotion to his family. A lifelong member of St. Marys Church, he faithfully attended Mass, rarely missing a Sunday, and proudly served for many years as an usher, welcoming fellow parishioners with kindness and humility. He also dedicated more than 48 years of loyal service to North Fork Lodge before his retirement. He was a longtime member of the St. Marys Sportsmen’s Club. His happiest days were spent outdoors, whether he was crafting something with his hands, woodworking, enjoying time at camp, or tinkering around his beloved sawmill. Though he found great satisfaction in hard work and the outdoors, nothing brought him greater joy than spending time with his family, whose love and companionship were the true center of his life.
