No one hurt Made Dec 26, 2011, sent to the company Jan 4, 2012, published by CPSC Jan 19, 2012
The product, in the report: 5 tier ball drop. comes with 3 balls. drop ball in at top and it goes around and drops down each tier to the bottom
This product has 3 balls that come with it. It is advertised as a product for 9+ months. My son will be 9 months in 2 weeks. The balls that come with it are not large enough to go down a kid’s throat, but are just barely small enough to fit in their mouth. Within 5 min my son had one of these balls lodged in his mouth. It was such a tight fit he could not get it out himself. I couldn’t get my finger wedged in his mouth to get the ball out. It was in there tight enough that it seemed to be pushing back his tongue into his throat or maybe even blocking his airway. I was a little frantic at the time to get the ball out. I ended up pushing very hard on the outside of his cheeks and it finally came out. His jaw was open almost as far as it could go so getting it out was hard and on the way out it hit his gums. He screamed so hard probably because it hurt to have his mouth locked open so wide, he probably was freaking because it was hard to breathe, and I had to push on his face so hard. I don’t know what I would’ve done if his jaw wouldn’t have given just the little it did so I could push it out. So needless to say, that was the end of him playing with that toy. It was very scary and I would never want that to get lodged in some other kid’s mouth.
