    Regarding the Vtech Disney Little Einstein Rocket Piano, my son was able to pull one of the keys off. I contacted the company and was told that since I had purchased it over 3 months ago, it wasn’t under warranty. No injury thankfully.

    The product, in the report: Vtech Zoo Jamz Stompin Fun Drums

    My 2-year-old has been playing with his drum set a lot. The rubber tip of one of the drumsticks broke off. I believe that one got thrown away. Now the same thing happened to the 2nd stick. The rubber piece has broken off and is an absolute choking hazard.

    The product, in the report: VTech 3-in-1 Musical Band (electronic toy guitar and piano with strap)

    I am writing about a toy that I believe poses a danger to young children. It is the Vtech 3-in-1 Musical Band which is an electronic toy guitar and piano for children ages 3+. It is sold with a guitar strap which is a strangulation hazard. I found my 3 year old son in his bed with the guitar over his head and the strap around his neck. While trying to remove the guitar from his neck, he turned the guitar around which crossed the strap in front of his throat and subsequently made the strap shorter and tighter. He was struggling to remove it when I found him and assisted. Had he successfully put the guitar back over his head (to the back), he could have easily strangled himself, in particular because the guitar is quite heavy. My son is very smart but he was stuck with this toy around his neck. I removed the strap which makes the guitar much safer.
