"And I actually had one of their very first diapers… but now you gotta think, that’s 25 years ago, think about all the designs that they’ve done now… working with the NICU nurses and doctors to develop a diaper specifically for NICU babies, that to me states the best fight that you could ever want to have for a brand that wants to make sure that NICU babies have the best opportunities at the very beginning of their fight."SEAHAWKS SUPER BOWL HERO DERICK HALL OPENS UP ABOUT HOW 'GOD' SAVED HIM FROM NEAR-CERTAIN DEATHHall had a 1% chance of survival when he was born four months premature at just 28 weeks gestation, weighing just two pounds, nine ounces. He was born without a heartbeat, suffering from a brain bleed."I wasn’t born … breathing," he told Fox News Digital. "I was born dead.Gooden-Crandle told Fox News Digital those first days of her son's life were filled with uncertainty and fear."Emotional, a lot of uncertainty, scared," she said of her emotions in the days that followed her son's premature birth. "But… those weren’t the feelings that I was feeling during Derick’s birth. I just trusted that God would work everything out."The journey paid off as Hall made his mark on NFL history when he came up with a tone-setting strip sack in the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots this February."You can’t tell me that a child with a one percent chance to live… ends up being a Super Bowl champion one day without the Lord being in their lives," Hall said. "That’s a miracle in itself."Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

- Rising costs, loyal customers: Inside a Staten Island restaurant empireAs the U.S. approaches its 250th anniversary, small businesses remain a cornerstone of the American economy, employing nearly half of the private sector workforce and powering communities across the country.On Staten Island, that story is playing out in real time for restaurant owner Rob DeLuca.DeLuca didn’t initially plan on a career in hospitality. His father worked in construction and at one point told him to find a different path. That push led him to a job bussing tables at a local restaurant. What started as a fallback quickly became something more.MAMDANI TAX BREAK PROPOSAL SPARKS FEARS AS BUSINESS LEADERS WARN OF ‘FRAGILE’ NYC ECONOMY"I worked while I went to school, got my bachelor’s and my master’s," DeLuca told FOX Business. "I almost went to law school, but the restaurant was always calling me back."More than 20 years later, DeLuca now owns three restaurants: DeLuca's Italian Restaurant, a high-end dining establishment he opened nine years ago; Don Roberto’s, a classic Italian concept; and Rocky’s Pizza Bar. Together, they make up what he refers to as the "Delucaverse," a growing portfolio of brands rooted in the same community.But expansion has come at a time when the economics of running a restaurant are becoming increasingly difficult.DeLuca says prices have risen roughly 20% over the past year alone, driven largely by persistent supply chain pressures that began during the pandemic and never fully eased.MAMDANI'S CLASH WITH BILLIONAIRE PUTS NYC STREET FOOD VENDORS IN THE CROSSHAIRS"The food cost supply chain has gone through the roof," he said. "Suppliers bumped up prices during COVID, and we thought it would be temporary. It didn’t come back down. And now with global tensions impacting gas prices, it affects the supply chain and food prices almost instantly."Those increases are especially difficult to navigate in a neighborhood like Staten Island, where much of his business comes from repeat customers."People are very price conscious right now," DeLuca said, adding that customers notice when dishes increase in cost from $13 to $19 to $22, for example. Even so, DeLuca says the passion for the work keeps him going, despite the long hours and mounting responsibilities."Every day I wake up with a smile because I don’t feel like I’ve worked a day in my life," he said. "But it’s a lot of work. I have two small children I want to spend time with… and at the end of the day, the buck stops… [TheTopNews] Read More.44 mins ago
- Costco recalls popular product in 2 states over potential ingredient mix-upThe U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has issued a warning for Costco shoppers in the Northeast.A major mislabeling error has turned a standard beef dinner into a potential medical emergency for those with shellfish allergies. Giovanni Rana ravioli — specifically the "Rustic Beef Sauce & Creamy Burrata Cheese" variety — may actually contain shrimp and lobster sauce."The shrimp and lobster, known allergens (shellfish), are not declared on the product label," the USDA’s press release reads. "The problem was discovered when the establishment notified FSIS that they received two consumer complaints reporting the beef sauce and burrata ravioli actually contained shrimp ravioli."COSTCO ISSUES URGENT RECALL ON POPULAR PRODUCT LINKED TO BURN INJURIESThe 32-ounce plastic packages of ravioli affected by the recall contain the establishment number "44870" inside the USDA mark of inspection and have "best-by" dates between May 14, 2026, and June 25, 2026.These packages were shipped exclusively to Costco retail stores in Maryland and New Jersey."There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a health care provider," the USDA said.While the product is no longer on store shelves, the "use-by" dates extend well into June, meaning households may have this sitting in their kitchens right now. Because it was sold at Costco, these are large, bulk packages often bought for future meals.GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE"FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them," the USDA continues. "These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase."Costco has now listed the product under its recall section on its website, and a posted note to past buyers instructs them to return the product to a Costco warehouse "to obtain a full refund."READ MORE FROM FOX BUSINESS [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago
