No one hurt Made Aug 31, 2011, published by CPSC Sep 23, 2011
The product, in the report: A ride on toy that is battery operated and forces air out the chimney for the balls to pop out as you ride.
My 2 y/o son was playing with his Thomas and Friends Thomas the Tank Ride On toy Manufacture# 043638 Item #358974. He stuck his arm down the chimney part of the toy to go after a ball and got his arm really stuck. It would not come out and he of course started freaking out trying to turn his arm and nearly pulled it out of place. His arm was so stuck that it was cutting off the circulation. Had it not have been for a friend who was visiting at the time and suggested pouring cooking oil down the chimney the paramedics would’ve had to cut the toy off of him. Fortunately my son is okay now and as of now is not showing any damage to his arm but this could have been a bad outcome. I hope you will take this situation seriously and request a product safety recall on this toy. Who is to say that this won’t happen again or hasn’t happened to someone who just failed to report it? Thank you! [REDACTED]
