First aid Made Aug 6, 2014, sent to the company Aug 14, 2014, published by CPSC Sep 5, 2014
The product, in the report: The bathing suit is dark orange with lighter orange hibiscus flowers and blue and white cars that have surfboards on the roof.
I am writing in reference to a bathing suit that I purchased recently for my son from The Childrens Place. The bathing suit is dark orange with lighter orange hibiscus flowers and blue and white cars that have surfboards on the roof. The two most recent times that he has worn the swimsuit have been traumatic, to say the least. When we got home from the pool Saturday (8/2) we sent the kids to change out of their swimsuits and my son came running back panicked exclaiming that he needed help. When I asked if it was an emergency or if he could wait a minute, he made it clear that he needed immediate attention. As we were walking up the hall I asked him why he was still in his bathing suit and he said that it was stuck, pointing to the front of the suit. I thought to myself, maybe the drawstring needs to be untied, but when I went to pull his shorts down he grabbed my hand and repeated that it’s stuck. I looked at him and he told me that his penis was stuck...I gently pulled the swimsuit down just enough to see what was going on and sure enough, a portion of his foreskin was through one of the holes in the mesh liner and puckered on the other side preventing it from being pulled back through. After some careful cutting we got a small section of the mesh, immediately surrounding his stuck foreskin, cut away from the rest of the suit. Those mesh holes are tiny, and when full of human skin there is no room to maneuver. Luckily for him I thought of a seam ripper as the best tool for the removal. It worked and he was free from the fabric, but not from the pain and the herniated foreskin. His penis was red and raw and he was uncomfortable just from his underwear. Considering how odd this scenario was, even though it bothered me I just chalked it off as a freak accident. So, that was Saturday and Sunday, we went swimming at our neighbors house. We all put on our bathing suits and had fun in the pool not thinking twice about what happened the day before. While we were walking home, my son walks up next to me and says that his penis hurts. I thought to myself, of course it hurts it’s raw and tender and the chlorine probably bothered it. But I told him that we could look at it when we got home. Guess what happened? His foreskin was stuck in the mesh, again! This is NOT a random, freak accident.
