Fisher-Price recalls "Brunch & Go" stroller toys over choking hazard concerns
Fisher-Price has recalled 253,000 breakfast-themed stroller toys after consumers raised concerns about potential choking hazards, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission
said
in a statement.
About an additional 4,500 toys sold in Canada have also been recalled, the federal agency and
Health Canada said
.
The recall involves its "Brunch & Go" stroller toys — hanging sets of fake food items like avocado toast, bacon, a tomato and an egg, which are designed to clip onto a stroller canopy for babies to play with on the go. Marketed as a "teether," the toy egg was found to pose possible dangers to young children, the federal agency said.
Five customers reported the toy cracking and breaking, and two customers described situations where a small piece of the broken egg ended up inside an infant's mouth. No injuries have been reported in connection with the toy.
"Customers should immediately stop using the recalled stroller toys, keep them away from children, and contact Fisher-Price to receive a free replacement stroller toy," the agency's statement said Thursday, announcing the recall.
The company has asked anyone who owns a "Brunch & Go" set to write the word "Recall" on the egg piece along with the product's model number, and upload a photo of that to
a dedicated recall portal
on the Mattel website to receive a replacement part. Toys affected by this recall have the model number HGB85 — people can find it printed on tags attached to the toast components of their stroller sets. Fisher-Price is a subsidiary of Mattel.
Fisher-Price urged consumers affected by the recall to throw away their egg toys when they receive an email confirming their replacement.
From February 2022 until March 2025, "Brunch & Go" toys were sold across North America by major retailers in stores and online, including at Hobby Lobby, Kohl's, Macy's, Marshalls, Nordstrom, Ross, TJMaxx, Walmart and Amazon.

SUN Meals answer summer hunger pangs
The kids sat at picnic tables at New Chicago's Twin Oaks Park Thursday munching on ham and cheddar submarine sandwiches provided by the food service department at the River Forest Community School Corp. 'They love it,' Britney Bansley said of her three children, Joshua Smith, 8, Cephas Smith, 6, and Evalynn Smith, 4. 'This my first time here because I have a random day off. My babysitter has been bringing them.' Bansley said she likes the program also because if the kids don't finish their meals, they're able to bring them home to eat later. River Forest is one of dozens of Northwest Indiana school districts and charter schools taking part in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's SUN Meals, a free summer nutrition program for children 18-and-under. 'Our kids really need it,' said River Forest food service director Nick Alessandri. 'Thirty-five is a pretty good turnout,' he said of Thursday's attendance at Twin Oaks. 'I definitely think the program is necessary.' Throughout the U.S., various sites, including schools, parks, libraries, and others offer free lunches while school is out to make sure children receive nutritious options. Formerly known as the Summer Food Service Program, it's been around for decades and received a menu update last year by the Biden administration with SUN Meals, SUN Meals To-GO and the new SUN Bucks program. This year, Indiana opted out of the second-year SUN Bucks program, which provides needy families in the Electronic Benefits Transfer program (EBT) with a grocery benefit of $120 per eligible school child. Indiana joined the program last year under former Gov. Eric Holcomb, but officials in the Braun administration blamed Holcomb's administration for insufficient planning and funding preparations leaving it unable to fulfill the program's requirements. The SUN Meals program, however, remains unaffected throughout the state. The Twin Oaks Park site is one five sites served by River Forest schools, said Superintendent Kevin Trezak. Twin Oaks is the lone one with a learning component, said New Chicago Park Board vice president Morgan McCabe. On Thursday, the children watched Patricia Riley-Churilla teach common American Sign Language phrases such as family and mother. They also have speakers from the New Chicago-Lake Station Public Library and the Shirley Heinze Land Trust. The kids craft art projects on Mondays and last year, they painted park benches, McCabe said. Trezak said the three offsites together are averaging about 85 kids a day. 'These are great numbers for us since the offsite spots are aimed to serve those with transportation needs,' he said. Northwest Indiana is home to multiple free school lunch sites from East Chicago to LaPorte. To find a site, see:

Columbus schools, library team up to fight summer literacy slide
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – Many students love getting a break from school during the summer months, but it's an easy time for children to fall behind in their literacy and comprehension skills. Children nationwide continue to make up for time lost during the COVID-19 pandemic, making it even more important to stay on track with their reading during summer break. School districts and libraries in central Ohio are still working to close that learning gap. 'Some of the things that happened during COVID prevented our students from those outside learning experiences, those hands-on experiences, so we're seeing some gaps with that knowledge base and that experience within comprehension,' Columbus City Schools Executive Director of Teaching and Learning Kelly Rivers said. Columbus Recreation and Parks offers 'Go, Lunch!' summer program Rivers said simply reading interesting books during the months off is an important step toward improving critical literacy skills. 'Summer learning is one of the most critical points of an entire year, and we don't want to lose sight of that,' she said. Columbus City Schools has created specific programs to help with reading comprehension during the school year and the summer. Besides those programs, Rivers encourages parents and caregivers to visit the Columbus Metropolitan Library, whose Summer Reading Program is aimed at helping kids keep up with literacy skills. 'Taking two months off of anything can be really hard to maintain that level and keep it a strong skill,' Columbus Metropolitan Library Public Services Director Miya Reyes said. Reyes said the loss of those reading skills during the summer slide, putting children at a disadvantage in the fall. Final full moon of Spring, the 'Strawberry Moon,' glows over central Ohio 'Reading is a tough skill, whether it's somebody who's already been reading or they're learning to read, and it can be something that's difficult to learn to do,' Reyes said. 'I think one of the most important things about it is to make it fun.' Whether students get extra reading help and encouragement through their school districts, local libraries or right at home, there are many resources available to parents and guardians to keep their children on track this time of year. 'Reading with your child, giving them opportunities, taking notice of inquiry and things that can increase the learning process, all those things help to decrease those summer learning gaps,' Rivers said. 'Books are so important,' Reyes said. 'Access to books, access to information can only come from being able to read that material yourself over time.' How a small town was revamped into 'Ohio's most loveable downtown' Rivers and Reyes both said literacy is everywhere and practicing can be as easy as reading street signs with children, reading labels on products at the grocery store or checking out a book that interests them.
