Hurt, care not known Made Nov 1, 2012, sent to the company Nov 14, 2012, published by CPSC Dec 6, 2012
The product, in the report: The toy is an elephant which plays music when the ring is pulled. The ring is too big and a small childs arm fits through it but the edge of the ring is sharp.
The toy hangs on the baby carrier and several times my child has gotten his arm all the way in and the sharp edge has scratched him to the point he begins to hurt. This has occurred during times that we are driving and we are not able to get to him right away until we pull over and get his arm out of the hook. We have since removed it and no longer allow use of it.

Emergency room Made Jul 24, 2012, sent to the company Aug 7, 2012, published by CPSC Aug 28, 2012
The product, in the report: Bright Starts Hop Along Carrier Toy Bar
I previously purchased a Bright Starts Hop Along Carrier Toy Bar for my son to attach to his infant carrier. He has outgrown his infant car seat at 14 months and still likes to play with the toy. Thursday evening on July 19, 2012, he was playing with the toy (not attached to the car seat) and the back screw on battery cover plate came off. He ingested one of the 3 1.6 volt button batteries required to run the toy. At the time of the incident, the back cover plate was secured by one short metal screw that came with the toy. The screw was still threaded through the back cover plate but the screw and cover plate had come off of the toy exposing the batteries.
