The federal government says some kids have had multiple surgeries because of punctured intestines.

All because of Bucky Balls.

The popular toys are being now recalled being recalled after several children swallowed them.

This summer, the consumer product safety commission sued the makers, saying they are dangerous for children if they're swallowed.

Buckyballs' owners say the adult desk toys are still available for sale, but once they sell out that's it.

Barefoot Shoes

Those form-fitting shoes that leave runners feeling almost barefoot seem to be gaining popularity.

But are they a good idea?

How can a shoe with space for five toes and very little sole, protect a foot and help runners perform more efficiently?

Well, doctors at the podiatry laboratory at Temple University tested the shoe to see if it gave enough support and protection.

But these minimalist shoes aren't for everyone.

Those with any type of foot or ankle pain or injury should talk to their doctor first.

Food and Sleep

We'll pick up an extra hour of sleep this weekend.

But if you'd like to get a little more sleep every night try changing your diet.

Registered dietitians says certain foods promote the production of serotonin which plays a role in the regulation of sleep.

Bananas are packed with complex carbohydrates.

And whole grain cereal with skim milk will get you your vitamin B6.

Also B12 is found in seafood, particularly clams, oysters, and mussels.
