First aid Made Apr 23, 2014, sent to the company May 1, 2014, published by CPSC May 22, 2014
The product, in the report: Fascination Antworks Illuminator Ant Farm. 6.5”L x 6.0”W x 1.25”D clear acrylic habitat for red ants, sold separately.
We bought my 7-year-old son the Fascination AntWorks ant farm for his birthday on April 1, 2007. We also ordered the two tubes of red ants sold alongside the item on Amazon.com.
The ant farm looked secure but the ants were able to burrow out, which they did this past weekend. Perhaps there was a small invisible gap in the plastic housing that we didn’t see; it almost looks as though the ants bit or tunneled their way out.
In any case, they escaped and bit my son all over while he slept. He has about 15 or so bites all over his body, and they are very itchy and painful. There were ants all over the floor of his room. We have since thrown away the ant farm and put out ant traps. Terrible! I wouldn’t wish this on another parent, ever.
