The Federal Trade Commission sued four companies that sell paint products used to coat buildings and homes, alleging that they deceived consumers about their products' insulation and energy-savings capabilities.

In complaints filed in federal court, the FTC charged that the companies falsely overstated the R-value ratings of the coatings, making deceptive statements about heat flow and insulating power.

Three-Fourths of New 2016 Investment Was Excluded from Improved Cost Recovery

Recent IRS data gives us insights into new capital expenditures made by both individuals and corporations in 2016. In total, the IRS estimates that individuals reported $347.1 billion in capital expenditures and corporations reported nearly $1 trillion of assets placed into service.

An important takeaway from this data is that it sheds light on what share of new business investment was eligible for bonus depreciation as it existed in 2016, and what share of new investment was excluded from improved cost recovery. (In 2016, bonus depreciation was set at 50 percent.) This matters because the income tax is biased against investment in capital assets to the extent that it makes the investor wait years or decades to claim the cost of machines, equipment, or factories on their tax returns.



FDA Posts New Template for At-Home and Over-the-Counter Diagnostic Tests for Use in Non-Lab Settings, Such as Homes, Offices or Schools

Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration posted a new template for commercial developers to help them develop and submit emergency use authorization (EUA) requests for COVID-19 diagnostic tests that can be performed entirely at home or in other settings besides a lab, such as offices or schools, and that could be available without a prescription.

Are All Outdoor Parties Safe? Here's When They Get Dicey
While the outdoors are generally safer, you still need to be careful. 

We've had to miss concerts, birthday dinners, and family reunions, but now that the weather outside is beautiful and we've all gone stir-crazy, all we want to do is have a BBQ with friends or hang by the pool with family. While outdoor activities seem to be safer, COVID-19 is still a major problem and we don't want to put ourselves or our loved ones at risk just to get out of the house. Big parties and indoor parties are pretty much a no-go, but what about if we move the festivities outside? Are all outdoor parties safe right now? And does being outside with people mean we're automatically safe and there's nothing to worry about?




Join CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta for the latest news about the coronavirus. He'll make sense of the headlines, speak with the experts and give you all the information you need to stay safe and healthy.

COVID-19: Current Employee Management Challenges and Options

Thursday, July 30   |  2:30 pm - 4:30 pm ET
Steven Greene
Starting at $265

Regrettably, after five months, we are continuing to experience Coronavirus pressures and uncertainties. We appear to be entering a new phase in terms of employee management and employment compliance. Many employees have exhausted their paid leave benefits under the Emergency Paid Sick Leave and/or the Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act. We have a wide range of approaches and uncertainties when it comes to schools and childcare facilities opening for the fall. We have an uptick in infections in many parts of the country. We are also seeing pressures in terms of employees feeling uncomfortable with their normal work given community spread or specific contact with individuals who have contracted the virus.

This session will also include a question and answer session, to address individualized fact patterns.
