    The product, in the report: Children’s Bathmat

    I purchased the Elmo Bathmat made by Ginsey Industries last year (2010) at my local Walmart. The bathmat provides help with skid resistence in the tub for my small children. While it serves its purpose, and the characters are entertaining for children, the bathmat itself is a safety hazard. The mat is less than a year old, and the elmo characters and beach balls that are affixed to the mat will peel off. They are very small pieces, and will not only pose a choking hazard to small children but also clog your drain for the bath. My 1.5 year old son was coughing on a piece of the rubbery material and I had to pry it out of his mouth. Luckily I was there to catch it happening. I have retained several of the pieces that have come off the mat, and saved the mat itself in case you would like to request pictures. This is a safety hazard to children that tend to put things in their mouths, and also to people that are relying on the elmo pieces *the only actual skid resistent pieces on the mat* to aid children from slipping.
