What’s wrong with it?

What should you do?
Customers should immediately stop using the Jet Streamers and contact Wild Planet for a replacement product. The replacement product has an angled handle that prevents the handle of the toy from standing upright.

Which ones are recalled?

The tapering handle is gray while the bulbous water reservoir varies in colors of white/green, blue/yellow and orange/silver.

The product packaging is labeled “Jet Streamers,” “Wild Planet” and is for children ages five and older.
