The product, in the report: From Walmart.com: Play Day Light up Torpedoes Water Toy, The Play Day Light up Torpedoes is the ultimate addition to your pool playtime. Comes with bright colors, in Red, Green, Blue, Purple torpedoes. Light up feature is activated when glided in the water. Easy to sink underwater for kids to practice swimming and play. Recommended for ages 3 and up, this pool toy set is perfect for family fun! Easily Glides Underwater Set Includes 4 Piece Light up Activated Torpedoes Encourages child creativity and coordination
We purchased a set of “Play Day Light up Torpedoes Water Toy” at Walmart at a price point of $4.98. My daughter and I were the ones using the toys and they were used for about a 30 minute time period. We went to use them the next day and noticed that water was inside all 4 of the toys and that the LED batteries had leaked inside the toy. At no point were they dropped while in our use during or after purchase, they were only used in the pool at our hotel as sinker toys as indicated on the packaging. They did light up and work as expected when in use as they sank to the bottom of the pool. They were no injuries by us, but I am concerned that battery acid could potentially leak out into the pool during and after any further use if the damage were not to be noticed by other users. We did not notice the damage to the toy until the next morning and we did not continue to use them.

First aid Made May 29, 2019, sent to the company Jun 21, 2019, published by CPSC Jul 9, 2019
The product, in the report: Play Day Bulleye Dart Toss, Sold at Walmart. Item #572094695. Price $14.97. 32” in diameter, includes 3 balls that stick to the dart board.
My 7 year old daughter came with us to a pool party this Memorial Day weekend. She was swimming at the bottom of the pool and shot up for a breath of air, not paying attention to what was above her (as kids do), and literally got stuck by the top of her head in the velcro to the Bullseye Dart Toss game by Play Day that is sold at Walmart for $14.97. The toy was blown over during normal pool play, and the large velcro part was face down. Furthermore, the part that was facing up is a bowl shape and had filled with water, making it very heavy. She is an extremely strong swimmer and was able to get to the steps with minimal air and scream out for me. There was even a lifeguard at the party who thought she was just playing around with the float until she heard her cries. Her entire head of hair was tangled up in the velcro terribly. She does have curly hair, so I’m not sure if that was a factor, but it took 5 adults to pull her and the float out of the water, drain it, and then an excruciating 20 minutes of pulling her hair out of the velcro while she scream cried. If that had happened to a less strong swimmer, it could have very easily been a terrible tragedy. If my daughter had panicked or didn’t have any breath left, it could have been a terrible tragedy. The toy is very unsafe for pool play, especially with the bottom having the ability to hold water, thus making it too heavy to just swim with it on top of you while your head is out of water if you were to get stuck. This could’ve happened to an adult just as easily. The velcro part encompasses the entire front of the float making it entirely too easy to get stuck like that.
