Hurt, no treatment Made Aug 5, 2026, sent to the company Aug 10, 2026, published by CPSC Aug 24, 2026
The product, in the report: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Robo-Alive-Dino-DNA-Dinosaur-Robot-Toy-Light-Up-DNA-Helix-Spine-by-ZURU/11889012976 Robo Alive Dino DNA Dinosaur by ZURU - Robot Toy Light-Up DNA Helix Spine for Kids Ages 3+
I am writing to formally report a serious product safety hazard regarding the Robo Alive Dino DNA Dinosaur Robot Toy (purchased from Walmart).Upon opening the toy and introducing the included ooze/slime compound, the moisture immediately bypassed the battery chamber and caused the three LR44 alkaline button batteries to rapidly corrode and leak chemical fluid. This highly corrosive liquid got directly onto my young daughter’s hands. Fortunately, I was monitoring her closely and washed her hands with soap and water immediately, but this failure poses a severe chemical burn risk to children.Because the liquid slime interacts directly with an improperly sealed battery compartment, this design creates an active safety risk for any child playing with it.

No one hurt Made Mar 18, 2025, sent to the company Mar 21, 2025, published by CPSC Apr 4, 2025
The product, in the report: Zuru Robo Alive Robo Turtle (2 pack, pink and green)
Plastic battery cover completely broke off of one Zuru Robo Alive Robo Turtle (green) creating a button cell battery ingestion hazard for my 4yo and cracked on a second unit well as allowing water intrusion to the batteries and internal electronic components of the product. Fortunately I was present and took the toys away when my younger daughter was having a bath and showed me the cover came off the batteries on one of the turtles, but there was certainly an opportunity for button cell battery ingestion, which was concerning.

Seen by a doctor or nurse Made Nov 28, 2023, sent to the company Dec 1, 2023, published by CPSC Dec 15, 2023
The product, in the report: Blue and green Robo Alice lizard by zuru
My Daughter was playing with a Robo Alive Lizard with her brother (3 & 11) and it got tangled in her hair. It did not stop running and pulled her hair out, including her follicles. She was winding the lizard up and putting it down to run. When she went to pick it up again, she pulled it up, all the way over her head, and it suddenly started running. It ran up her hair and got stuck. In a second a good chunk was ripped out. She currently had a bald spot. Her head was tender to the touch for several days.
