  1. No one hurt

    Made Dec 30, 2011, sent to the company Jan 10, 2012, published by CPSC Feb 1, 2012

    The product, in the report: Play guitar with different sounds and attached guitar strap with velcro release (strap is what is in question, it is a strangulation hazard the velcro does not release easily enough for a child).

    Within the last month we bought from our local Target the B. Woofer Hound Dog Guitar for our 2 year old. The appropriate age listed on the toy is 2+ so we assumed it would be a safe and fun toy for our daughter. Within the first 10 minutes of giving our daughter the toy she had the guitar strap around her neck and twisted tightly twice. We were all in the same room with her and quickly saw her struggling to get it off by unknowingly twisting it tighter and were able to get it off her neck. There is a velcro release on the guitar strap but it did not release when it was twisted around my daughters neck. We immediately cut the straps off completely and my daughter plays with it that way but I am afraid of this very attractive toy being left along with another unsuspecting child and resulting in strangulation. I have contacted the B. toy company and was given a call by a very uninterested customer service representative that told me I would receive another call from their corporate office, which I have not heard from since then. I am afraid of a child severely injuring themselves or dying due to this guitar straps strangulation hazard.
