Hurt, no treatment Made Jan 8, 2012, sent to the company Jan 17, 2012, published by CPSC Jan 31, 2012
The product, in the report: American Girl Rebecca’s Bed and Bedding Item #F9701 Description on AG website *A fancy bed with pink metal scrollwork and gold medallions
My son’s foot became stuck between two metal rungs of an American Girl doll bed.
The bed comes with a removable mattress (it does not secure at all). My one year ten month old son was playing in his sister’s room around the doll bed. The removable mattress was not on the bed at this time. I heard him crying and when I saw him, his foot was stuck between the metal bed rails. I had difficulty getting is foot out. He received injury to his left foot. Bruising, redness, swelling and tenderness was all noted.
I feel the need to report this for several reasons: 1. Most importantly my son was injured on a child’s toy. 2. To hopefully prevent this from happening to any other child. 3. American Girl is a reputable company with quality products. They should be made aware of these incidences and potential problems with their products in order to maintain the high standards they claim to follow.
