Emergency room Made Nov 23, 2017, sent to the company Dec 1, 2017, published by CPSC Dec 15, 2017
The product, in the report: Christmas Tambourine manufactured by the Horizon Group - Item# 72542 / DPIC# 234-25-0974 (Additional Info: F00293222-07/16, 553207940976416) - Wooden Handle - 4” tall and 3” wide with 3 metal jingles
I am writing about Item# 72542 / DPIC# 234-25-0974 (Additional Info: F00293222-07/16, 553207940976416) which is a Christmas Tambourine manufactured by the Horizon Group that states that it is appropriate for children 3+. The tambourine is sealed in a plastic package with a couple of holes. On Sunday (12/4/16), while opening the package, as any reasonable person, I broke the package by pressing my right index finger through one of the holes. While the package was breaking open, my right index finger scraped against one of the tambourine cymbals - this resulted in a very deep (1/4 inch wide / 1/2 inch long) removal of skin from the tip of my index finger. I had applied pressure - however, due to the depth of the cut, bleeding would not stop and a family member took me to urgent care. Once I was checked in and had a doctor look at my finger, it was 1 hour from the time of the incident and the cut was still bleeding profusely. Due to the location as well as the width of the cut, stitches could not be applied - therefore, they attempted to apply surgical dermabond - it took 2 doses before the bleeding was somewhat contained. I was then instructed to keep my right hand above my heart for at least 24 hours and to not do anything strenuous (i.e. pick up my children) - in order to ensure that my finger would not start bleeding again. As a result I was home from work during the day on Monday (12/5/16) and my husband was home from work during the evening on Monday (12/6/16) to support me with the kids. I had limited use of my index finger for 2.5 to 3 weeks since it was bandaged until the dermabond naturally fell off. My index finger currently has a scar with some loss in sensation.
This tambourine was purchased by my sister just before Thanksgiving from Target and was given as a gift to my 3 year old son. I was opening the package in front of him when this happened. After the incident and upon further inspection of the cymbals of the tambourine, the edge of the cymbals are EXTREMELY sharp. I cannot imagine that this product is out in the market and it is being marketed for 3 year olds.
Note: I had contacted Target on Monday (12/5/16) and they generated a case on my behalf. I also left a message with Horizon Group on Monday (12/5/16)
