OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Nebraska Court of Appeals says state attorneys unfairly lobbed allegations during a hearing to remove a couple’s five children from their custody.

The ruling Tuesday came in the case of a couple whose lost custody last year after a state Child Protective Services investigator found three of them — ages 12, 9 and 18 months — alone in a central Nebraska hotel room.

Based on that and concerns that the couple were abusing prescription drugs and alcohol, officials sought to remove the children. But at the hearing, the state presented additional evidence, including claims that the children had lice and that their parents had sought to buy drugs.

The appeals court agreed with the father that the state’s last-minute allegations left him unable to provide a defense.

DETROIT (AP) — Toyota is adding nearly 1.4 million cars, trucks and SUVs to a growing recall for air bags that can explode with too much force.

The company says it’s expanding a previous recall after Takata Corp. of Japan agreed to double the size of its air bag inflator recall to 33.8 million.

Vehicles added to a passenger air bag inflator recall include the 2003 to 2007 Corolla and Matrix, 2005 and 2006 Tundra pickup, 2005 to 2007 Sequoia SUV and the 2003 to 2007 Lexus SC430 convertible.

The propellant in some Takata inflators can burn too quickly, blowing apart a metal canister and sending shrapnel into the passenger compartment. Seven deaths and more than 100 injuries have been attributed to the problem.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Most Nebraska state employees will get a raise but will face higher insurance deductibles and copays under a new two-year labor contract.

Employees will get a 2.25 percent raise starting July 1 and a 2.4 percent pay bump on July 1, 2016. The agreement applies to more than 10,000 workers represented by the Nebraska Association of Public Employees/AFSCME 61

The agreement signed earlier this year imposes higher annual insurance deductibles, from $1,600 to $2,000 per family, and higher medical out-of-pocket maximums, from $4,000 to $8,000 per family. Copayments for doctor visits and most prescription drugs will also increase.

Nebraska had 18,112 state employees as of 2013, not counting the University of Nebraska or the state colleges.

Negotiators for employees and the state say they’re satisfied with the overall agreement.
