    The product, in the report: PLAYSKOOL SIT N SPIN CLASSIC SPINNING ACTIVITY TOY. Teal, Red and yellow. Item number 23239/24611/24227. Copyright 2024 Hasbro. Copyright 2024 PlayMonster Group LLC. CAN ICES- 3 (B)/NMB- 3(B)

    My 2.5 year old son was playing in his room. He has a sit & spin toy & the bottom rotates. Since the toy lacks a locking mechanism for when the toy isnt in use, he walked over it & fell, busting his face on the hardwood floor.

    The product, in the report: Playskool Glo Worm SmartSense Cry Sensor and Voice Recordable Toy (Amazon Exclusive)

    I put batteries in the Glo Worm for the first time but it wouldn’t do anything. The light came on once very briefly but that’s it. I turned it off and went to get the manual in the other room to see if I was doing something wrong. When I got back, I smelled a burning plastic odor. I opened up the fabric shell and removed the white plastic part that holds the electronics. I felt something hot under my finger and that’s when I noticed the plastic melting right above the button/microphone. Since the switch was off, I had to unscrew the door and remove the batteries to get it to stop (a screwdriver is required to access the battery compartment). I opened up the case to see what was going on and saw that the wires leading from the batteries had burned through their insulation and had begun to melt and burn the plastic case. If I hadn’t noticed the burning smell and investigated, the whole thing could have melted or caught on fire and injured myself or my son.

    The product, in the report: Playskool Popin’ Pals pop up toy by Hasbro

    We had a child in our infant classroom that we believe, altho we did not visually witness the incident, got the ring finger of their left hand severely cut while playing with a Playskool Popin’ Pals Pop up toy, made by Hasbro. While a teacher was within an arm’s length of the child, and engaging with other children in the area, they did not witness the incident occur. We initially checked online to see if the toy was recalled, however the toy that was recalled in August of 2000 was model number 5415. The toy that we had in the room was model number 6205. We immediately removed all of these toys from our classrooms.

    The product, in the report: Playskool Busy Chase ‘N Crawl Duckies, has 3 ducks which rotate on their own axes within a rolling toy.

    Our 1-year-old was playing with the Playskool Busy Chase ‘N Crawl Duckies and got her hand stuck in between two ducks. She was very distressed and started crying. My husband had to pull her hand with a fair amount of force to free it. There was no lasting injury.

    The product, in the report: Playskool Busy Ball Popper manufactured in 2005. Green base, yellow tube topper, orange and blue ball ramp. You push a button and balls pop out of the toy into the air.

    My son has the Playskool Busy Ball Popper. 3 times now (this past time being the worst) he has gotten his arm stuck in the tube the balls pop out of. This morning I went up to him screaming “stuck”! He, and my other children who have had this toy, would always stick things other than the balls in this toy hoping they would pop out. When they don’t,, he tries to get them out, the tube is the exact same size as his arm. He was stuck up to his shoulder, his arm turning purple and I could not get it out. I had to carry him downstairs, toy on arm, and saturate both him and his toy in vegetable oil to get his arm out. After some more twisting and pulling, I was able to get it out. I know this situation ended much better than it could have. In my opinion, this toy should NOT be listed for children under 3, it is dangerous.
