Good morning! It’s Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money.
Mattel's packaging for its latest dolls came with a wicked mistake.
A link, printed on the back of the box, led to a pornographic website, prompting dolls to be pulled from shelves across the country. Meanwhile, some dolls with the labeling error are being resold online for over $100.
Medicare premiums to rise
Seniors will have to pay more again for Medicare Part B next year, Medora Lee reports.
The standard monthly premium for Medicare Part B enrollees will rise by $10.30 to $185.00 in 2025 from $174.70 this year. The annual deductible for all Medicare Part B beneficiaries will increase to $257 from $240. The increases are mainly due to projected costs and usage increases.

🍔 Today's Menu 🍔
Shrimp lovers will notice a key item missing from Red Lobster's new menu, Anthony Robledo reports.
In an interview with TODAY, CEO Damola Adamolekun announced that the seafood chain's revamped menu will include nine new items, from a lobster bisque to bacon-wrapped sea scallops. However, he confirmed that the $20 endless shrimp deal is over.
Last year, the seafood chain made all-you-can-eat shrimp a permanent menu item after two decades of offering it for a limited time. The decision proved costly.
