The product, in the report: A blue and white whale that shoots water out the top.
My son received this whale as a Christmas present. All of a sudden it stopped working and I finally got around to changing the batteries last night and there was black water in the battery compartment. I’m assuming its battery acid from the CORRODED batteries! My son still played with it after it died and I’m pretty upset that he’s been exposed to battery acid. The toy never sat in water for extended periods of time, just bath time, and I made sure to drain it as much as possible.

The product, in the report: Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Spray ‘N Lights Bath Whale
Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Spray ‘N Lights Bath Whale
We discovered a severe problem with this toy. We used it for several baths, about two weeks worth. When the whale failed to turn on tonight, my husband took it into the workshop to replace the batteries.
When the cover was removed we discovered water in the compartment, the batteries corroded and what appears to be battery acid leaking out. Upon further investigation, we also noted a similar colored stain on our tub.
Needless to say we were appalled by this! Our baby was sitting in water with battery acid. We have to be so careful as he has a medical condition that leaves him prone to urinary tract infection. We took pictures of the inside of the battery compartment with the batteries still in place. When we initially put in the batteries we were so careful to secure the battery compartment tightly as it was held together with tiny screws we feared he could get loose.
Please know that his baths are relatively short in duration perhaps 15 minutes, the toy was only used during this time for the past two weeks or so because he was afraid of it initially.
I did contact Fisher Price but they were not very responsive. They stated that we could send them the toy and they’d send us our money back.
I’d really like this to be looked into further. I can’t imagine we’re the only ones to experience this. Please feel free to contact me at [REDACTED].
Thank you for your assistance.
