  1. No one hurt

    Made Jun 8, 2012, sent to the company Jul 11, 2012, published by CPSC Jun 29, 2012

    The product, in the report: A clear plastic 6 in x 6 in x 6 in ball that has an elephant suspended in the middle, it also has 2-3 plastic quarter sized balls that roll around to make noise. When the child rolls the ball the movement from the elephant can make te ball roll back to the child. Or that feature can be turned off if the parents want to.

    My 1 year old son had the Garanimals roll n’ return ball barely 3 weeks and he stood up with it and dropped it once and it broke in half! The 3 quarter size balls then rolled a crossed the floor! Luckily My husband was right there in the room! He was able to grab them away from my son before he could put them in his mouth. The toy is made for 6 month +.. Yet it was not made sturdy enough to handle one drop!!
