[VIDEO] On the height of Similac Formula Recall 2010, another big recall gave a full blast in the Internet today that may affect the safety of our kids. Apparently, the Fisher-Price, Inc, with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health is now recalling a series of products that includes:
About 7 Million Fisher Price Trikes and Tough Trikes toddler tricycles
About 100,000 Fisher-Price Little People Wheelies Stand ‘n Play Rampway toys
About 950,000 Healthy Care, Easy Clean and Close to Me High Chairs
About 2.8 million Infant Toys with Inflatable Balls, including the Baby Playzone Crawl & CruisePlayground, Baby Playzone Crawl & Slide Arcade, Baby Gymtastics Play Wall, Ocean Wonders Kick & Crawl Aquarium, 1-2-3 Tetherball, Bat & Score Goal
And it was confirmed that the manufacturer of assorted children’s items from Fisher Price is recalling more than 10 million of their products due to manufacturing flaws that have resulted in injury that required medical attention to at least seven children, as of this writing.
Apparently, the products that are being recall also were described as span furniture to infant and children’s toys and hazards include choking and scarily “genital bleeding”.
According to Scott Wolfson, CPSC spokesman, the Fisher Price has already notified the agency of certain design and manufacturing flaws, thus triggering an investigation of the company products that found to be defects.
“Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed,” the CPSC said in a statement.
So far the recalls leading to about 7 million Fisher-Price products is the largest for toys since Congress passed a law two years ago beefing up the product safety regulator’s powers.
The company have fined $2.3 million in June 2009 for toys violating federal lead-paint laws, during the time of largest civil fine in CPSC history. AP
I’m not sure the writer of this article speaks English as a first language. Besides the many small mistakes throughout the article, the first sentence doesn’t even seem like it’s English at all.
TLS, I look to you for the news. You’ve become the first site that I go to, but please improve your writing! The errors and bad writing are too numerous.
stop complaining nobody wants to hear your complaints
I don’t get it. All these toys were perfectly fine for all of us thirty something people. Now, all of the sudden, they are health hazards? Maybe it’s because moms used to stay home with their kids and watch them as they played. Maybe it has nothing to do with the toys, but WHO is watching the kids!
poorly written article TLS or whoever wrote it
