MGM began celebrating Chinese New Year through “Haircut for Love” and “Spring Clean for Love” programs, involving 365 senior citizens from Asilo de Santa Maria and Centro de Dia Brilho da Vida in mid-January.
For the sixth year, MGM visited Centro de Dia Brilho da Vida of Caritas Macau to clean the homes of senior citizens, stated the gaming operator in a press release.
On January 20, MGM’s senior executives led a team of 160 volunteers to Fai Chi Kei Social Housing Unit and cleaned 220 homes, in a bid to welcome the Year of the Rooster with the senior citizens.
MGM prepared its homemade Chinese New Year Red Banners (Fai Chun) and placed them on doors and windows as decorations. In addition, a Goodie Bag with a specially designed MGM 9th Anniversary towel set was given to every home.
For the fourth year running, the gaming operator also hosted the “Haircut for Love” program on January 9, 10 and 12.
A total of 30 volunteer haircut team members went out to two local elderly centers, Asilo de Santa Maria and Centro de Dia Brilho da Vida, and provided complimentary haircuts to 145 senior citizens, including those with health issues and mobility impairment.
Ikea recalls ‘Mysingsö’ beach chair
IKEA urges customers who bought a “mysingsö” beach chair before February 2017 to return it to any IKEA store or Merchandise Pickup Point for a full refund, or to any IKEA store for replacement.
After washing the fabric seat it is possible to re-assemble the chair incorrectly, leading to the risks of falling or trapping a finger.
According to the company, IKEA has received five incident reports involving the beach chair collapsing during use due to incorrect re-assembly.
All five reports included injuries to fingers that required medical attention.
The reported injuries happened in Finland, Germany, USA, Denmark and Australia.
“Mysingsö” beach chair originally went through the relevant mechanical, fabric and chemical tests with approved results.
Upon receiving the reports of injuries, a full investigation was initiated.
This led to an improved design to further mitigate the risks of incorrect re-assembly and injuries. The updated chair is set to be available in IKEA stores from February 2017.
