  1. Emergency room

    Made Apr 7, 2021, sent to the company Apr 13, 2021, published by CPSC Apr 27, 2021

    The product, in the report: VTech Sit-to-Stand Ultimate Alphabet Train. Child can put blocks down the chute of the front train that slide to the back part of the train. Can sit on it or push the front of the train. Has lights and sounds and songs, etc, but not really relevant to my complaint.

    My 19 month old got his arm stuck in this toy : vtech sit-to-stand ultimate alphabet toy. There is a curved chute on the toy so that blocks can slide to the back part of the train. He stuck his arm in the chute and we were unable to remove it. We had to call the fire department and they had to both unscrew parts and pry out his arm.

    The product, in the report: Sit/Stand toy train with lights, buttons and sounds, and blocks. Used to learn songs, colors, weather, alphabet and numbers.

    When our almost 3 year old (33 months) was playing with the train, she reached into the opening of a chute for dropping the alphabet blocks and got stuck. Her arm twisted and wrist bent with the bend of the chute. It took nearly 20 minutes to free her using olive oil and trying to unscrew the train. Several things complicated the matter. I couldn’t remove the wheels, because they had an irreversible lock screw, so I couldn’t easily access the bottom to unscrew it, and they also prevented me from prying apart the train all the way, making it difficult to unscrew. The tube was attached to an electrical panel for reading the blocks on one side. If she had been on the “wrong” side of the train, I wouldn’t have been able to free her. Also, a couple screws inside of the train holding tube together were stripped, so I was only able to open one side of the tube. Fortunately, I could calm her down enough to stay still and let me remove it at home, but I was terrified of twisting or moving the train in a way that would snap her wrist or arm. While she said it hurt when it was stuck, she doesn’t seem to have sustained any worse injury, But could’ve been so much worse if she hasn’t been so trusting and brave.

    The product, in the report: Plastic bulldozer with moving parts

    We purchased a VTech Pop-a-balls “Push & Pop Bulldozer” from Wal-Mart March 12, 2018. The toy has a handle that must be installed with 4 small screws.

    Our 14 month old grandson played with the toy for about 10 minutes when we discovered one of the screws on the floor. We examined the toy and found the 3 remaining screws were also loose. We removed all of the screws, reread the directions, then reinserted the screws. We tested the toy and the handle became looser each time it was raised and lowered until the screws were loose enough to fall out. We are returning the toy to the store.

    The product, in the report: it is a red train with switches that make animals pop up and sing. there’s a long yellow rope an older child could use to pull it.

    My 12 month old son was playing with the vtech roll and surprise animal train when the cord from it wrapped around his neck. he was laying on the floor and rolled while holding the heavy train part and it went right around his neck. because of the weight of the train he was stuck and had a horrible red mark around his whole neck. Luckily i was right next to him or he would have been strangled.

    The product, in the report: VTech Sit-To-Stand Activity Walker. Has a detachable activity station with lights/sounds/toys, that sits atop a U shaped frame. The activity station is primarily white background with a lime green handlebar. The frame is blue and orange. The wheels lock. Language choices are English or Spanish. I have seen a girls version as well, where everything is pink/purple.

    RE: VTech Sit-To-Stand Activity Walker. My almost 9month old has pulled this toy over on top of himself more than once (maybe 4x). When he does, he hits his head on the ground. I purchased this second hand about a month ago. He is always standing facing the toy, holding onto the bar as is intended. He does not appear to have any serious injury, however it has only been used in a carpeted floor home.

    The product, in the report: Vtech Sit to Stand Activity walker in pink/purple. Has detachable activity top

    My daughter received a minor head injury from the Vtech Sit to Stand Activity Walker. This product only has a lock on the front set of wheels, so while she stood and grabbed on to the walker, becuase the back wheels still rotated very loosely, it caused the walker to rotate and therefore she lost her balance and fell backwards and hit her head. I feel that this product is very dangerous. The wheels on this are too loose and the “locking” mechanism is useless therefore this product is not meant for “baby’s first steps” as the product describes.

    The product, in the report: vtech sit-to-stand activity walker in PINK VT1402 stamped on the bottom

    My 1.5 year old daughter is learning how to walk and this item is soo unstable I cant handle it any more! I got online to search and it is no longer available on the vtech site! I did find it however on AMAZON.COM http://www.amazon.com/V-TECH-STAND-PINK-ACTIVITY-WALKER/dp/B001DDF1IE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1367809632&sr=8-2&keywords=vtech+activity+walker and it is listed for almost more then double what i paid for it.

    It is unstable and dangerous for pre-walkers. I feel this may have been the reason for the delay in my daughter wanting to walk. She has fallen down and it even fell ON TOP OF HER. No major injures but possible emotional and or psychological fear of it happening again.

    I did not see a recall but THIS ITEM MUST NOT BE SOLD!! I also contacted VTECHs consumer email prior to looking on this site.

    Thank you.

    The product, in the report: Vtech sit-to-stand walker-pink 22.0x16.0x5.2 8lbs manufacturer # 80-0608

    I bought my 1year old a Vtech sit-to-stand Activity walker from Toys R Us. I usually choose Vtech over other brands because they seem to be of better quality. However, this particular item I am not happy with. This toy has a bar in front of it for the child to hang onto when walking. My daughter has twice put her arm through this bar and gotten her arm stuck. Through much struggle and pain, I have been able to release my daughter, but at some point I may not or someone else who has this product may not without causing injury. I believe this product should be removed from the market before someone gets seriously hurt.
