My 12 month old was playing with this toy while I was supervising. While he was placing the balls down the chute, he tried reaching his arm into the chute to grab the balls and got stuck. His arm was stuck up to above his elbow! I’m concerned that if he had rolled the car while his arm was stuck that his arm could’ve broke! He did this a couple times, so I had to place the car away out of reach so it doesn’t happen again.

Hurt, no treatment Made Dec 24, 2012, sent to the company Jan 11, 2013, published by CPSC Feb 4, 2013
The product, in the report: Bright Starts by Kids II - Having a Ball Pop and Roll Roadster ride on car for toddlers
Bright Starts Having a Ball Pop and Roll Roadster is the toy. The balls go into the hole in the steering wheel. The hole in the steering wheel is just the right size for a baby’s or toddler’s arm to get stuck in. Our 1 year old put his arm down the hole in the steering wheel, trying to get the balls back out, and his arm got stuck in there. We had a hard time getting it out, resorting to lubrication methods. This caused him pain and terror. Nothing was broken or lacerated, but it does hurt quite a bit to get one’s arm stuck in this. I also checked the toys R Us website, and did find that there was another child injury caused by the exact same way, that was commented in the product reviews.

Hurt, no treatment Made Jul 31, 2012, sent to the company Aug 14, 2012, published by CPSC Sep 5, 2012
The product, in the report: Bright Starts Having a Ball Pop and Roll Roadster. Toy is a ride on car with plastic balls that go through a hole in the steering wheel. It is red and blue with an orange seat and a purple steering wheel.
My 1 year old son was playing (supervised) with his new Bright Starts Having a Ball Pop and Roadster. The toy has a hole in the steering wheel to put balls into. The balls are meant to come out another hole in the front of the car by pulling a handle. The “hood” of the car is where the balls are stored and has a see through yellow plastic cover which is screwed onto the car. My son put his hand into the hole in the steering wheel in an attempt to get the balls that he could see inside the car. His arm was stuck before I could get to him to stop him from putting his arm in the hole. He tried to pull it out and I gave him a chance to try on his own, but he immediately panicked and started crying and twisting his arm and body in an attempt to get it out of the hole. I tried to pull his arm out, but it would no budge. I got very nervous and squeezed his arm very tight and pulled. It came out, but he was obviously hurt and did get scratched. I could easily see this happening to other children and would hate for any of them to get hurt worse.
