The product, in the report: Just Like Home 2-in-1 Vacuum Set - Toys R Us brand
Just Like Home 2-in-1 Vacuum Set - My 2 year old daughter was playing with this toy that she received as a gift. Where the “dust-buster” detaches there is a small hole in the vacuum. My daughter got her finger stuck in this hole. We tried butter and oil and could not free her finger, probably due to swelling. We ended up calling our local fire department for help. They had to break the toy apart to free her finger. Her finger was stuck for 45 min. She was very scared and crying and her finger was all bruised and swollen. There is no purpose for this hole in the vacuum and it does not cause it to work any differently. The design is very poor and the hole is the perfect size to fit little fingers and have them get stuck.

No one hurt Made Dec 17, 2011, sent to the company Dec 27, 2011, published by CPSC Jan 19, 2012
The product, in the report: “Just Like Home” 120 piece set of imitation food made of plastic and paper.
Our family bought a toy for the 2 yr. old grandson at a Walmart super-store to complement his new play kitchen.It was a package of fake food items. It contained 120 TINY plastic and cardboard items made to resemble food purchased at a grocer. He quickly tore into the package and items were scattered. But, upon inspection of the items we found many things inappropriate for a toddler. There were tiny hot dogs, fruit, and others that were small enough to swallow. The light weight of the paper food packages easily lent itself to quick inadvertent destruction.
We quickly gathered up all the little pieces and (with difficulty) replaced them into the original packaging for return to the store before the child could cause himself injury.
We feel this toy is mis-labeled because it is NOT appropriate for anyone under 6 and is hazardous.
It worries me to see the same and similar packages of items on sale at many stores.
