Fact checked by Sarah Scott

The recalls were made in response to reported incidents of toy pieces coming apart and being found in infants' mouths–though no injuries have been reported.
Here are the details.

Fisher-Price says the average price for the unit was $130. About 15,300 units have been sold in the U.S. through Walmart stores as well as Walmart.com, Amazon.com, and other websites from November 2022 through February 2025. In addition, to about 2,000 units have been sold in Canada.
Fisher-Price recommends consumers immediately stop using the recalled tissue box toy, remove it from the activity center, keep it away from children, and contact Fisher-Price to receive a free replacement toy for the activity center.
The company says consumers will be asked to mark the tissue box toy permanently with the word 'Recall' and the unique identifier. Then, they are to mark 'X' on the sensory cloth tissues, and upload a photo of the marked toy at https://service.mattel.com/us/recall.aspx.
All known purchasers will be contacted directly by Fisher-Price. After consumers receive their replacement confirmation email, they should dispose of the recalled product in the trash.
Fisher-Price provides specific instructions on how to mark the box and upload the photo at their recall & safety alerts webpage.
According to Fisher-Price, the yolk of the toy egg can crack and create small parts, posing a choking hazard to young children. There have been five reported incidents of of the yolk of the toy egg cracking and breaking. In two reports, an infant had a small piece in their mouth.
The recalled Brunch & Go Stroller Toy features a pretend piece of avocado toast and three attachments: a mirror tomato, a crinkle bacon, and an egg teether.
The recalled toy's model number (HGB85) is located on the tag attached to the toast.
Fisher-Price says the average price for the stroller toy was $13. About 253,000 have been sold in the U.S. through Hobby Lobby, Kohl's, Macy's, Marshalls, Nordstrom, Ross, TJMaxx, and Walmart stores as well as Amazon.com from February 2022 through March 2025.

Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper review: Body-contouring comfort for worn-out beds
Established in 2015, Panda London is a UK-based brand that uses the "magic of bamboo" to create natural, luxury sleep products, including mattresses and bedding. Its only bed topper is the Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper, which is bamboo gel-infused and designed to deliver natural, contouring comfort and advanced support. But does it deliver — and is it deserving of a place in this year's best mattress toppers guide? To find out, I decided to use my month-long visit to see family as an opportunity to try out a twin-sized Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper. I put the bed topper on my childhood bed, a well-worn, innerspring mattress, to put the brand's claim that it can "transform" any mattress to the test. Here are my thoughts... The Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper is thick and luxurious enough to give any mattress a makeover, especially harder beds in need of some plushness. As the brand's only bed topper, it delivers Panda's trademark bamboo-infused comfort for under $300. As a side sleeper who needs contouring around my shoulders, I got along well with the body-hugging foam of the Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper. Type: Memory foamDepth: 2" Cover: Bamboo, Polyester Corner straps: YesTrial period: N/AWarranty: 5-year limited warranty Starting MSRP: from $159.95 at Walmart However, I'm a back sleeper, too, and I didn't always feel supported along my lower back when lying in that position. I am a little skeptical about its "natural comfort" claim — the main body is memory foam and the cover is part-polyester, after all — but the removable bamboo-infused cover is washable and hypoallergenic for a cleaner sleep. This easy-to-clean, antimicrobial mattress topper did an excellent job of giving an old mattress gathering dust in my childhood bedroom a refresh during my four-week visit. Its foam body was dense enough to add sink-in softness to my worn-out spring mattress. I recommend it to anyone who wants to change up their super-firm or old bed but isn't in the market for one of this year's best mattresses. Panda says it uses open-cell cooling technology, and I did find the cover to feel quite soothing. However, I would describe the topper as more temperature-regulating than cooling, so hot sleepers should probably look for a mattress topper with specialized cooling capabilities. Panda London still primarily caters to the UK market, but you can buy the Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper from third-party retailers such as Walmart and Amazon in the US. The topper is returnable for up to 90 days (depending on which retailer you buy from), but unfortunately, it does not come with a sleep trial. As for value for money, a queen-size Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper is $229.95 at MSRP, which is below even the standard discount price of the best memory foam mattress toppers in the same size.. The Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper is a little pricier in the US than it is in the UK, with a double (the UK equivalent of a full) costing £139.95 ($189.09). A full-size in the US costs $199.95, which is only a $10 or so difference, but still worth noting. Here's the official pricing for the Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper in all available sizes: The average sale price of a queen-size memory foam mattress topper is $299, so $229.95 for a queen puts the Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper below the average foam bed topper price. The main spots to buy the Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper in the US are Walmart and Amazon. Free shipping is available from both, and the topper is returnable for 30 days with Amazon and 90 days with Walmart. (However, there is no official sleep trial from either.) There are no discounts on the mattress topper from either retailer at the time of publication, but you may find some price drops in the upcoming 4th of July mattress sales from Walmart and in the Amazon Prime Day mattress deals. As the Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper is only sold through third-party retailers in the US, the benefits are a little nebulous. For instance, buying directly from Panda means you'll automatically get a 10-year warranty, but your entitlement to this becomes a little murky when buying from a third-party outside of the US. Panda Bamboo 2" Memory Foam Mattress Topper: twin from $159.95 at WalmartThe Panda Bamboo 2" Memory Foam Mattress Topper is available in four sizes at Walmart: twin, queen, king, and Cal King. Twin XL is unavailable, but you can purchase a full at Amazon. Walmart shoppers can enjoy 90-day returns and free shipping on this mattress toper, but its unclear whether purchasing from a third party means you're still entitled to the 10-year warranty. The design of the Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper pretty much reflects its name. It consists of a 2" slab of gel-infused memory foam (called "HydroFoam"), which is encased in a bamboo-polyester cover. The HydroFoam is infused with temperature-regulating gel particles. The brand boasts that the foam has been "revolutionized" with cooling open-cell technology, but I've been writing about memory foam long enough to know that the standard types of foams used in mattresses are open-cell, so this really isn't some advanced piece of cooling tech — just marketing. Still, not all memory foam is infused with heat-dissipating micro gel capsules, and the inclusion of a naturally breathable bamboo cover means the surface does feel refreshing. Bamboo is also hypoallergenic and antibacterial, making it a great choice for allergy sufferers, and moisture-wicking and odor-resistant. The zip-up cover is removable and washable, and it also has an anti-slip base and elasticated anchor straps to secure the topper to your mattress and prevent shifting. I slept on a twin-size Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper for over a month, testing it in line with our mattress methodology, which focuses on three particular areas: support and comfort, temperature regulation, and ease of set-up. Similar to the best mattresses in a box, most memory foam mattress toppers are rolled up and shipped in a box to your doorstep. The Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper is no different, coming condensed and vacuum-packed in plastic. I've unboxed plenty of mattresses and bed toppers in my time as a tester, so I don't really need instructions, but it was nice to see an instruction booklet included to explain how to unbox and care for the topper. (You'd be surprised at how many mattresses and bed toppers don't come with instructions.) I found the set-up to be super easy. I simply cut the plastic with scissors and then rolled the topper out onto my bed. It expanded as soon as I cut the second layer of wrapping, and it had already covered my bed's surface before I could strip the last bit of plastic. The instructions said to leave the topper to expand for 12-16 hours. There was a slight arch running down the middle of the mattress topper, but the ridge disappeared within 12 hours. As for off-gassing, I found it to be barely noticeable, even though the instructions warned that it may linger for up to three days. Score: 4.5 out of 5 As someone who sleeps predominantly on my side, I loved the body-cradling, sink-in feel of the Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper. Its dense foam provided a great surface for my hard, worn-out bed, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to refresh an older bed or soften a mattress that's too firm. I really felt my side-sleeping pressure points, such as my shoulders and hips, were soothed and supported. It's also billed as an orthopedic-grade topper, promising advanced back and neck support and optimal alignment. However, I didn't really notice this support when sleeping on my back. I didn't feel that my hips were supported when sleeping in this position; I weigh under 130lbs and prefer a softer bed. With that in mind, back and stomach sleepers, as well as heavier sleepers, may want to look elsewhere. Score: 4 out of 5 Bamboo is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking. The cover felt cool and refreshing at first touch. However, I wouldn't label it "cooling", just temperature-regulating. As with most memory foam bed toppers, the foam is infused with heat-dissipating gel to offset the material's tendency to trap heat. The Panda mattress topper retained some heat on warmer nights, and those who don't like the sink-in feel of memory foam may find it stuffy. Otherwise, I slept cool and comfortably most nights. Score: 4 out of 5 There aren't a lot of ratings for the Panda mattress topper on Amazon, but you'll find plenty at Walmart, where reviews are also taken from the Panda website. As of June 2025, the topper has accumulated over 7,200 ratings and an overall score of 4.8 stars out of 5. There are over 6,300 5-star reviews, with many customers saying the comfort and quality were worth the price, as the topper helped relieve their joint pain. Just over 80 reviews were overwhelmingly negative, with complaints focusing on the expansion time, the dubious claim that the topper is cooling, and some shoppers saying the memory foam was too soft. Side sleepers like me will love the body-cradling feel of the Panda Memory Foam Mattress Topper. It effectively contoured my shoulders, hips, and knees. It's also a great buy for those who want to refresh an old bed or soften a mattress that's too firm. The anti-slip base and elasticated corner straps are also a great addition for restless sleepers, while the washable, removable Bamboo cover is helpful for those who want to add a hypoallergenic layer for their bed. While it's not cooling, the bamboo cover provided a refreshing, temperature-regulating sleep surface for me, but very hot sleepers should look for a specialized cooling mattress topper instead. (Our top pick in that area is the Molecule CopperWELL Mattress Topper.) ✅ You're a side sleeper: The body-contouring feel of the memory foam is great for cushioning shoulders and hips while side sleeping. ✅ You want to refresh an old bed or soften a firm one: The two inches of dense foam can change the feel of worn-out or hard mattresses for the better. ✅ You want a cleaner, greener protection: The topper adds an extra layer of protection to your mattress, while the sustainable bamboo cover is naturally odor-resistant, antibacterial, and hypoallergenic. ❌ You sleep on your back or stomach: While promising advanced support, I did not feel my hips were supported enough when back sleeping. Meanwhile, stomach sleepers will find it too soft. ❌ You need a specialist cooling mattress topper: Those who overheat at night or experience night sweats won't be impressed with this temperature-neutral bed topper. ❌You're a college student in need of a twin XL: The Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper is not available in a twin XL, the standard dorm bed size, so you may want to check out the alternatives below or the best mattresses for college students. While the Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper may not come in a Twin XL for college students, the Sleepyhead Cooling Copper Topper certainly does — in fact, it's designed for dorm beds. Those in need of a twin XL size can choose from 2" ($319) or 3" ($419). It's more expensive than the Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Topper, but you're guaranteed a 100-night sleep trial, a five-year warranty to last you until graduation, and a 15% student discount. Learn more in our Sleepyhead Cooling Copper Mattress Topper review. The Lucid Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper is perfect for anyone who wants to soften their bed on a tight budget. It doesn't come standard with a cover, but this gel-infused memory foam topper comes in three thicknesses to choose from: 2", 3", or 4". Available in seven sizes (including a twin XL and Full XL) and with a starting price of $49.99, the Lucid Gel Memory Foam Topper is a great cost-effective alternative to the Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper. Learn more in our Lucid Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper review. The Saatva High-Density Foam Mattress Topper may be thinner than the Panda Bamboo Memory Foam Mattress Topper, but its thick layer provided top-tier cushioning for our side-sleeping testers. It has an organic cotton cover complete with anchor straps and an antimicrobial treatment, similar to the hypoallergenic properties of bamboo. (Unfortunately, the cover here is not removable.) At $245 for a queen, Saatva offers a slightly more luxurious option. Learn more in our Saatva Foam Mattress Topper review.

Is There Really an Oil or Herb for Penis Enlargement?
No oils on the market are proven to enlarge the penis. But some may help enhance sexual function, such as libido and erection hardness. Speak with a doctor before applying any oils to your penis. Penis enlargement oils are over-the-counter (OTC) herbal oils that are marketed for increasing the size, length, or girth of your penis. These are usually applied topically, but are sometimes administered by injection. Very limited research has examined the effects of penis enlargement oils. In fact, they're much more likely to result in unwanted side effects or injury. However, penis enlargement may be possible through other measures, including nonsurgical and surgical options. Read on to learn which oils you should avoid, which oils could improve your sexual function in other ways, and more. What ingredients should I watch out for? Dietary and herbal supplements aren't regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This means manufacturers are largely free to say whatever they want about their ingredients and supposed benefits. In 2021, the FDA released a statement noting that some penile enhancement and weight loss products may contain dangerous ingredients. These products included those sold in stores and online from places like eBay, Amazon, and Walmart. Some 'natural male enhancement' or penile enlargement products contain hidden ingredients. These ingredients are not included on the product packaging, but they could cause unpleasant side effects or serious complications. According to the FDA, some of these ingredients may include: sildenafil tadalafil vardenafil fluoxetine sibutramine desmethylsibutramine phenolphthalein A 2021 study also reported that sildenafil was found in six male enhancement products that claimed to be 100% natural, and they didn't have this ingredient listed on their labels. Sildenafil causes temporary penile enlargement by producing blood vessel dilation. Some other compounds and ingredients are commonly purported to help manage erectile dysfunction (ED), so they might temporarily increase penis size by promoting blood flow to the penis. These ingredients may include: Eurycoma longifolia Panax ginseng L-arginine Corynanthe yohimbe Tribulus terrestris Pinus pinaster However, no research supports the claims that these ingredients may help increase the size of your penis. Some research found that people injected olive oil, cod liver oil, and other mineral oils into their penis due to anecdotal evidence claiming that these oils can increase penis size. But these injections led to side effects and more serious complications like severe pain, scarring, and ulcerations. As such, it's important to speak with a pharmacist or a healthcare professional before trying any topical or injection oils for penis enlargement. Can essential oils help improve sexual function? Some ingredients may help improve several aspects of your sexual function. These may include increasing erection hardness and libido (sex drive), improving sperm count, and managing ED. They may also work by enhancing your sense of relaxation, well-being, and confidence, which are associated with improved sexual experiences. If you're open to other benefits, consider looking for an oil or supplement containing: Most of the studies examining the effects of essential oils on sexual function are done in animals like rats and mice. Therefore, the effects on humans may be inconclusive, so more research is needed. Remember, these may positively affect your overall sexual health, but they will not boost your penis size. There are also several ways to use essential oils, including inhalation, diffusers, and more. If you apply essential oil to your skin, you'll need to mix it with a carrier oil first. Never ingest essential oils. Speak with a healthcare professional before trying any oils or supplements marketed for penile enlargement and other purported benefits. »Learn more: Vitamins and supplements for ED What should I do if I decide to use oil? Always talk with a doctor before using any oils or other supplements. Oil ingredients can interact with medications, have uncomfortable side effects, or increase your risk of certain conditions. If you find an oil that is intended for use on the penis and a doctor clears you to use it, do a skin patch test. To do this: Rub a small amount of oil into your forearm. Cover the area with a bandage. Wait 24 hours and check for irritation. If you don't experience any skin discoloration, swelling, or other irritation, it should be safe to apply elsewhere on the body. That said, the skin on your penis is much thinner and more sensitive than that on other body parts. So it's more prone to irritation and side effects. Follow the oil's application instructions closely. Only apply as much as the label advises, and keep the substance away from your urinary opening. Most importantly, don't introduce oils into your sex life without asking the other person for consent first. The oil can expose them to potential allergies and side effects, too. If possible, have them do a patch test before you decide to do a full application. If you begin experiencing any unusual symptoms, discontinue use and seek medical attention. Are there any possible side effects or risks? Essential oils for penis enlargement aren't regulated, so you never really know what ingredients they contain and in what quantities. Not all supplements are unsafe, but they can be uncomfortable and even cause permanent complications. The topical application of essential oils may cause mild symptoms of contact dermatitis, a condition that occurs when the skin comes into contact with an irritant. Some side effects may include: skin irritation skin discoloration rash, bumps, or hives fluid-filled blisters that may crack and ooze liquid itching or burning at the application site infections in broken skin from scratching, which can also make you more susceptible to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) These effects may go away a few hours or days after you stop using oils. If left untreated, these symptoms can lead to permanent scarring or damage to your penis. Mineral oil injections may lead to more severe side effects and complications. According to a 2017 review, these may include: pain swelling hard, thick masses of tissue scarring pus and other discharge ulcers necrosis (death of skin cells and tissue) In rare cases, topical and injection essential oils may lead to anaphylaxis, a life threatening allergic reaction. You should seek emergency medical attention if you have difficulty breathing, severe pain, or severe swelling. A sexual partner who is allergic to any of the oil's ingredients can also experience these side effects. Side effects can become even more painful or life threatening if the oil gets directly into the vagina, anus, or mouth. Several options are available to possibly help increase the size of your penis. But it's important to note that the only way to permanently increase penis size is with surgery. According to a 2023 review, some options for penile enlargement may include: Penis traction devices: These devices, known as penile stretchers, may help stretch or pull on the penis to reshape it. It may increase penile length by up to 2 centimeters. Penile pumps: These vacuum (penis) pumps are available without a prescription. They're typically used with cock rings to help people with ED maintain an erection. When used regularly, they may help increase the length and girth of your penis. Penis exercises: Some penile stretches and exercises may help increase the size of the penis, though more research is needed to understand which specific ones work. Penis injections: Injections of fat, hyaluronic acid, or polymethylmethacrolate microspheres (PMMA) may help increase penis size, though side effects are likely. Platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP): PRP is a novel treatment that may help increase the length, girth, and rigidity of the penis, but more research is needed. Penile surgery: Several types of penis enlargement surgery are available, including ligamentolysis, skin graft, and lipoplasty, among others. A doctor can help you better understand the possible benefits, risks, and costs of these penis enlargement options. If you're thinking of penis enlargement therapy or are anxious about the size of your penis, consider speaking with a doctor or licensed therapist. They can help you identify, understand, and manage your feelings to help improve your self-esteem and confidence. The bottom line Oils and supplements for penile enlargement are usually applied topically, directly to the skin. Although several companies and people claim that penis enlargement oils are effective, very limited research supports these purported claims. What's more, several of the ingredients in these products may be harmful and cause side effects like itching, irritation, burning, or ulcers.
