    The product, in the report: Vtech catch me kitty

    My baby was reaching for the vtech catch me kitty, fell on the floor (normal for her, just learning to crawl) next to the toy and her hair became entangled in the wheels. The wheels kept spinning pulling on her hair hurting her. I had to use scissors to cut her hair off to get the toy off of her.

    The product, in the report: Switch and Go Dino T=rex/ Dinosaur that transforms into a car/ voice activated

    I purchased a T-Rex Switch and Go Dinosaur made by V Tech for my grandson for Christmas, my grandson is 3 1/2 years old. The package has an age range of 3-5 years old. This toy is a transformer type of toy that you switch from dinosaur to a car, it is voice activated and responds to voice commands. The toy has a “rocket” thing that shoots out when you say fire or when you hit a button. The rocket is a hard pointed object. On one occasion the rocket misfired and hit my grandson in the face, the second incident happened a few hours later when the toy misfired and hit my grandson in the eye. This toy could absolutely take a kids eye out or cause serious damage. Thankfully my grandson is ok and the toy has been returned. A 3 year olds vocabulary is not clear enough and the toy misunderstands commands .

  3. Hurt, no treatment

    Made May 10, 2012, sent to the company May 18, 2012, published by CPSC Jun 11, 2012

    The product, in the report: Red plastic Ladybug on wheels with light up antena, shape fitting toys attached by short coiled elastics to the feet with musical notes on each foot. Toy had a yellow nylon pull cord that can be stowed away in battery compartment. toy also has a small ladybug figure made of vinyl. that sits up on top of the BIG lady bugs back.

    we had purchased a VTECH Crazy legs learning bug toy for our baby who turned 1 yr on april 30th. that very day, within an hour of assembling the toy the top came off of it and my 2 yr old fell onto the peg which sticks up even when it is depressed into the toy. I believe that this version of the toy is a danger for impalement.
