The product, in the report: 80-541800 Sort & Recycle Ride-On Truck™
My 18 month old son was playing with his vtech sort and recycle ride on truck and while being supervised by multiple adults, and he was climbing on to ride from the front of the truck, he used the dump basket as a stepladder and his foot went though. It has a lip to collect toys. Unfortunately, it’s also the perfect shape for a toddler/baby foot to get stuck. With the way it’s constructed, it had to be cut off his foot. We oiled his foot which didn’t work. Then we unscrewed the bottom and quickly realized it didn’t make it any wider and luckily our calm child sat still while we grabbed garden pruners to cut open the dump basket. We didn’t seek medical attention because he was not injured, but we couldn’t wait for removal to risk him getting upset and snapping his leg.
This toy is dangerous and vtech is very unbothered. I reported this to them that night. He could’ve fallen and and broken his leg when it was stuck.

First aid Made Aug 21, 2015, sent to the company Aug 31, 2015, published by CPSC Sep 22, 2015
The product, in the report: Vtech Go Go Train station. White train that comes with the set. Uses three batteries. Power button in the smoke stack. The model number is Either 1467 or VT3423
My two year old was playing with the battery powered train to the vtech go go train station. I heard a loud pop and he started crying and ran to me holding his eye. I looked at his eye and it was red on the inside lid and there was a little spot where it was blood shot on the white of his eye. I took the train out of his hand and pushed power and it still worked. I opened it up to take the batteries out and saw that one of the three batteries had exploded and there was battery acid all over the inside of the compartment. I cleaned his eye and surrounding area well and it doesn’t seem like it’s a serious burn but it’s pretty raw still. I reported to vtech and they said they don’t have any injury reports with this train. I had two different brands of battery in the train. Two fusion and one [REDACTED]. The [REDACTED] is the one that exploded. The vtech guy told me they recommend not mixing brands. I told him that if mixing battery brands would cause them to explode there should be huge warnings on every toy.

The product, in the report: Go! Go! Smart Wheels Choo-Choo Train Playset by VTech
VTech - Go! Go! Smart Wheels Choo-Choo Train Playset
My son (18 months old) was playing with the train and picked it up and put it near his head. His hair became entangled in the motorized wheels on the train pulling the train tight to his head while pulling his hair further into the train. The train was making a clicking sound such as it does when the wheels are unable to move due to obstruction once it was tight to his head. I was able to shut off the train and then carefully pull his hair out of the wheel.

The product, in the report: VTech Go Go Smart Wheels 2-in-1 Race Track
Our 2 year old was playing with the Vtech Go Go Smart Wheels 2-in-1 Race Track. While playing, his index finger became stuck in the small mechanism that pops out to launch the cars down the track. The mechanism is spring loaded, and was pulling back into the toy. Efforts to pull his finger out were met with much resistance, and pushing the lever that usually releases the mechanism to launch the cars was unsuccessful. X-rays were taken, and the finger was found not to be broken, but redness, swelling, and immobility did occur.

The product, in the report: vtech helicopter toy
My son was playing with the toy, and the small balls which go with it, he put in his mouth. He could not get it back out of his mouth and started to gag/choke/suffocate. It was too big to swallow. I had to forcefully pull his mouth open bigger to pry it out of his mouth.
