Zuru has recalled 7.5 million Baby Shark bath toys after reports of children suffering laceration or puncture wounds from falling or sitting on the hard plastic top fins.
The recall involves both the full-size Robo Alive Junior Baby Shark Sing & Swim bath toys and the Mini Baby Shark Swimming bath toys. The full-size toys caused 12 reports of injuries, nine of which required stitches or medical attention, but the mini toys are being recalled as well.
The full-size Baby Shark bath toys were sold individually and in packs of three in three different colors: yellow, pink, and blue. The recalled toys can be identified by tracking label information on the bottom, including raised lettering that states model number “#25282” and a date code beginning with the letters “DG” followed by “YYYY/MM/DD” in the date range DG20190501 through DG20220619.
The recalled mini Baby Shark bath toys were sold in three colors (yellow, pink, and blue) individually, in packs of two or three, and as part of a Baby Shark Music Water Park playset. The recalled mini-size bath toys have tracking label information on the bottom, including raised lettering that states model numbers “#7163,” “#7175,” “#7166,” or “#25291” and a date code beginning with the letters “DG” followed by “YYYY/MM/DD” in the date range DG2020615 through DG2023525.
Consumers are instructed by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to immediately stop using the recalled toys and contact Zuru for a refund of $14 for each full-size bath toy or $6 for each mini-size bath toy. Adults should disable the tail fin, mark the body of the toy with the word “recalled” and the unique code provided during registration for the recall, and then upload a photo of the product at this recallrtr.com.
