  1. No one hurt

    Made Apr 19, 2018, sent to the company Sep 19, 2018, published by CPSC Oct 10, 2018

    The product, in the report: Little Tikes 3-in-1 sports zone SKU: 643224

    Product was new out of the box.

    The bowling ball has three screws holding the two halves together. One of the three screws was not screwed into the plastic at all. It was just sitting in the small passage hole down to the screw boss. There is very little clearance between the screw head and the passage hole to the screw boss, so it must have held in during manufacturing and shipping.

    In any case I happened to bounce the ball on a carpeted floor one time, heard something unusual, and sure enough there was a screw on the floor. It appears that the screw was not at all engaged with the plastic screw boss.

    The screw is very small, having a 3 mm thread and 14 mm long. And with sharp threads. This may not necessarily be a choking hazard, but something that, if ingested by my 12 month old boy, could cause severe internal bodily damage.

    The heat staked code on the back of the display head (basketball net) is C57G101-H.

    If it’s desired to get that ball and screw back for analysis, I am happy to cooperate. It’s put away now.
