Emergency room Made Apr 14, 2018, sent to the company Jul 2, 2018, published by CPSC Jul 17, 2018
The product, in the report: The product is made in China and distributed by Big Lots Stores, Inc. PO BOX 28523 Columbus, OH 43228, Name of product: Dive Game Sharks Catch, Item#Y18719S Product is the shape of a shark. Made of hard plastic is about 4 inches in length about 1/2 inch wide. Comes in a package of 4 shark colored blue, yellow.
Product was being used in the swimming pool. The product is a hard plastic shark with a very sharp, pointed nose. When used as it was designed, the toy is thrown into the water and the plastic shark glides through the water. It causes a serious hazard to other swimmers in to pool due to the very sharp point on the nose of the shark.
In this incident my younger son age 11 threw the toy shark into the water as my older son was swimming on the other side of the pool. The plastic shark collided into my son’s forehead causing a laceration and profuse bleeding that needed emergency first aid to stop the bleeding and immediate medical treatment to close the laceration with sutures.
This is just one incident. I fear that if this product is allowed to be sold in stores that it is likely to cause many more injuries to children ranging from facial lacerations, puncture wounds to eyes etc.
This hazard could have been easily avoided by the manufacturer by making the nose rounder and of softer material like rubber.
