The company’s comments, in its own words

(5/30/2024) Munchkin Inc.: Munchkin considers consumer safety paramount to our values. Our commitment to product design and manufacturing is critical for assuring all Munchkin products meet or exceed product safety standards. Please note that the Fishin Bath Toy was tested by an independent 3rd party laboratory and certified to ensure compliance to all federal and state applicable safety standards and requirements and it met or exceeded these requirements. In addition, we have inspected and tested 100 pcs from current inventory and could not duplicate consumers concern. However, to ensure there are not any anomalies within a product involved in a reported complaint, we always want to get the product back for further evaluation. Without the product sample to evaluate, it would be difficult to determine whether product related factors or human factors played a role in the incident reported by the consumer. We welcome the consumer contacting us to provide further information. Our Customer Satisfaction department operates from 7am to 5pm PST. They can reach them by calling toll-free at 1-800-344-2229.

The product, in the report: Bath toy, catipillar like with blue cup top and gear at bottom

Gave my son this toy for Christmas after the second bathtime with it, it broke in two at the joint under the cup and beads came out. He put the beads in his mouth. I believe I was able to swipe them all out of his mouth. I throw away the bottom part of toy and only kept the top cup part.

The product, in the report: The yellow duck that says hot or cold for water temperature

I was giving a bath to my 6 month old son washing his back while he’s playing with his yellow duck in in front of him and suddenly his body movements started to change not realizing that he started choking not breathing. He was able to put the yellow ducks head on his month and got stuck not knowing how to take it out .
