    The product, in the report: robo alive zuru baby shark 7” full size recall # 23-229

    I bought for my child birthday the robo alive zuru baby shark swim and sing, and my daughter been playing with in inside the house for a while, but when we used the pool in the summer months and we placed the shark in the water and she started to scream each time we placed the shark in the water. This happen several times in the pool so we thought she was scared of it so we stopped. But my wife remembered she was fine with it inside the bath, so she was not scared of the toy. The next time we placed her in the kiddy pool and we put the shark in by itself first so she could see it and when I reached in to remove the toy it shocked me. Didn’t hurt me much because I am an adult, but I could see why it did make her cry now. Battery compartment is not water proof!
