The product, in the report: It’s a green turtle approximately 3” long. It used to wind up, and spin it’s front arms to swim. The front arms had holes in them, and its tag was attached through one of the holes when I bought it. The shell has a flower shape on the top. Some paint has worn off. I think it used to have white and black paint for the eyes. It was sold at Walmart, in a bin with orange fish that you could wind up to flip its tail. I bought it for 50 cents. It was sold to me by Walmart about a year ago. We found it here: https://www.sciplus.com/windup-bath-and-pool-toys- 66428-p. Eschew Rubber Ducks is probably not the correct product name. I saw the frog and orange fish also for sale when the turtle was purchased.
Occasionally, I would find rusted strips of metal in the tub along with black floating flakes in the bath tub after my child had been in the tub for awhile. Today, she started chewing on pieces of metal. We took apart her wind up turtle toy (held together by screws), and found pieces of metal and rust in it. We will see if our child is ok. We don’t know if the metal had lead, or other chemicals.
