About 7.5 million “Baby Shark” bath toys are being recalled after multiple lacerations and puncture wounds were reported in children playing with them. Toymaker Zuru said it’s recalling both full-size and mini versions of its robotic baby shark toys that have hard plastic top fins. Twelve injuries have already been reported with Zuru’s full-sized Robo Alive Junior Baby Shark Sing & Swim Bath Toys — after children sat or fell on the now-recalled toys. Nine of these cases required stitches or medical attention, according to a Thursday release from the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Consumers in possession of these recalled toys are instructed to stop using them immediately and contact Zuru for a full refund.

    Thanks for sharing! My son has this toy, so I put it away before tonight’s bath. I’ll have to follow the steps to get that refund

    “the hard-plastic fin may cause lacerations should a child fall on the bath toy.”

    While obviously not untrue, the same could be said about a lot of other children’s toys, no?

      Probably not about a lot of bath toys, though?

      Yes, I’ve begun sharpening my kids’ toys intentionally, to teach them valuable lessons in how fragile the human body truly is!

      But seriously, yeah you aren’t wrong. Kids will always find a way to injure themselves. Mine usually use gravity, by climbing the couch and then jumping off the wrong end, etc.
