Platteville, Wis. – October 29, 2026 -- A Brewers fan says she spent nearly $400 at MLBshop.com on Christmas gifts for her family, then was offered only store credit when she tried to return the gear. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) says holiday rushes for team merchandise bring both scammers and return headaches.

The gear arrived, but the quality fell short for her

The longtime fan says the colors and fabric were not what she expected. She describes the gear as thin, with logos that looked like stickers. She says she is disabled, lives on very little income and saves all year for the one holiday she spends with relatives, who live in Iowa.

Her order confirmation email shows it came from the official site, so the problem was not a scam. It was the return.

LOS ANGELES – October 28, 2026 -- AutoFull's new C3 Pro Series gaming chairs are on sale in the United States now through the brand's website and Amazon, and the top model adds a ventilated, heated seat for long sessions at the desk.

Two models split essentials from extras

The series has two versions. The C3 Pro Standard covers the basics: adjustable lumbar support, lightning-inspired styling and everyday comfort. AutoFull aims it at first-time gaming chair buyers and people upgrading from a basic chair.

The C3 Pro Advanced adds active seat ventilation and heating, a larger upgraded seat and a retractable footrest.

Dual fans and graphene pads handle the temperature

Two fans in the Advanced seat circulate air to reduce heat buildup during extended play. Two graphene heating pads provide warmth when the room is cold. Users can pick from three ventilation levels and three heating levels.

Temecula – October 28, 2026 -- Fitness 19 has released "Tips for Fitting Fitness Into Your Busy Schedule," a resource that explains why staying active matters and how to work exercise into a packed day.

Regular activity supports body and mind

According to the resource, staying active keeps the body healthy and strong. It lists several benefits: managing weight, improving mental health, lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease, strengthening muscles and improving bone density.

Those benefits apply now and later. The long-term effects of not prioritizing fitness become clearer as a person ages.

Enjoyable, flexible routines make consistency easier

Once fitness is part of a daily routine, consistency gets easier. To build it in, Fitness 19 recommends choosing an activity you enjoy, staying reasonable about both time and expected results, and keeping your schedule flexible.

New York – October 28, 2026 -- Science in Sport (SiS), the UK-made performance nutrition brand used by elite athletes, is now sold in Target stores nationwide and on Target's online store, giving US runners, cyclists and gym-goers a new way to buy its fueling, hydration and recovery products.

The Target launch is the centerpiece of SiS's US expansion. It follows the brand's ongoing collaboration with Nike and two new partnerships with American athletes: rising marathoner Charles Hicks and Dylan Scott, the world number one HYROXer.

SiS products are already used by pro teams

The brand says its products are used by English Premier League soccer teams, the Milwaukee Bucks and New York City Football Club. SiS says it supports more than 350 professional teams, organizations and institutions globally, and that its products fueled 105 medal winners at the Paris Olympic Games.

NEW YORK – October 28, 2026 -- NORTIV 8 has launched Treeline, a ten-style footwear collection that gives trail running sneakers, hiking shoes, tactical boots and composite-toe work boots the same roomy toe box and 5mm heel-to-toe drop.

One sole platform underpins all ten styles

Treeline uses an outsole-first approach, built around a sole platform recognized by the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA). The extra forefoot space is meant to give toes more freedom to move, and the 5mm drop gives every style a low-drop profile. The tagline is "Walk the Line. Feel the Freedom."

Work and tactical boots add safety and quick-access features

Katahdin-Nano is a waterproof work boot with a non-metallic, non-magnetic Nano Composite Toe. It meets ASTM F2413-24 impact and compression (I/C) and electrical hazard (EH) requirements. It also has an EVA midsole, a leather-and-mesh upper and an MD-and-rubber outsole for uneven surfaces.
