The product, in the report: Target store: SPRITZ Glow Sword 4 pack
My 6 year daughter attended a birthday party on 9/24/11. Glow swords from target were given out as souvenirs. On the night of 9/25/11, my daughter was playing with the sword and waving it in the air. All of a sudden, she began screaming and running around the room holding her face.The sword had burst and the chemical from the glow stick got into her right eye. We immediately flushed her eyes with copious amounts of water until the burning subsided. On Monday morning 9/26/11, we took our daughter to her pediatrician, who then referred her to an opthalmologist. My daughter had a chemical burn to her right eye. Fortunately, we did an excellent job rinsing the eye (according to the ophthalmologist). She was prescribed eyedrops to help the burn to heal and scheduled for a follow up appointment.
After this incident, I went online to see if there had been any more reports of this kind. On the Target website, there is a post warning about the swords, but they are still on the shelf. Fortunately, in that post no one was hurt; damage was done to the car. Below is the post dated August 16, 2011: “This product is dangerous. My son received a glow sword at a birthday party. He is 5 years old and has activated many glow sticks. When he activated this one under my husband’s supervision, all seemed okay. After arriving at the next destination, my husband realized it had leaked the glow fluid all over the backseat of the car. The fluid ate through the leather seat! Out of 12 swords passed out at the party, 5 of them leaked...one on a kid in bed. Target and their insurer have been wonderful at working with us to get the car fixed, but who wants all the hassle? I think this is a dangerous toy and should not be purchased.Wish there was a ZERO rating.”
