The product, in the report: Vtech move and crawl ball manufactured 2012. Self propelling ball that lights up and makes music Number on ball is 6132
My almost 2 year old was playing with her vtech move and crawl ball that she has had for over a year now. She had her ball and was walking around the house and she walked into the kitchen. I heard a pop so I went in to see what had happened and a chunk was missing from the ball and wires were exposed from the internal motor of the ball. It was still moving, making noise, and lighting up. I checked it, and it appears that when she dropped it, one of the animals that you can push popped out and exposed the wiring mechanism for the ball. I was shocked that it did this. I don’t think that an infant toy should have wires that are so easily exposed. When I called vtech, they didn’t seem concerned in the least bit about exposed wires in an infant toy.

The product, in the report: Vtech Move & Crawl Ball Red/White/Blue/Yellow in color
My 18 month old granddaughter was playing with a Vtech Move and Crawl Ball. She had the ball at waist level and dropped it onto a wood floor. Part of the hard plastic ball cracked into little pieces, some smaller than the size of a dime. Luckily I was sitting right next to her when it happened. These small pieces were a potential chocking hazard, not to mention they were very sharp. I contacted Vtech with my concern and they were not the least bit concerned but offered me 50% off another ball. As a former emergency room nurse and having worked at a children’s hospital, I have seen first hand children die from choking hazards. If I had not been sitting next to my granddaughter, the outcome could have been different. I have always liked Vtech toys, I believe they are educational, but it appears they are not the least bit concerned about children’s safety.
