About 7.5 million Baby Shark bath toys were recalled Thursday because they caused lacerations, stab wounds and injuries to some children.
The Robo Alive Junior Baby Shark Sing and Swim bath toy, as well as the Mini Baby Shark Swim bath toy, have been recalled after 12 children were injured by falls or sitting on the full-size versions. Nine of them have required stitches or other medical care. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission said there were no injuries related to the mini-toy.
The full-size toy sings and swims when placed in water, while the mini version just swims. Both products have a hard plastic fin on the top and are available in pink, yellow, and blue.
The parent company, Zuru, has recalled 6.5 million plus-sized bath toys, which can be identified by model number 25282 and date code from May 1, 2019 to June 19, 2022, formatted with “DG” followed by ” YYYY/MM/DD.”
One million baby sharks – which have been sold individually, in packs of two and three and in the Baby Shark Music Water Park play set – have been recalled. They have model numbers 7163, 7175, 7166 or 25291 and date codes from June 15, 2020 to May 25, 2023.
Consumers should stop using these toys immediately, mark them as recalled with a permanent marker, and request a refund, CPSC said.
