Munchkin has recalled about 72,000 Waterpede™ children's bath toys. These are multi-colored, centipede-shaped plastic toys designed for infants six months and older to scoop water through different chambers. The toy can break apart during use, exposing small internal beads that pose a choking hazard to young children. Munchkin has received one report of a toy breaking; no injuries have been reported. These toys were sold at Babies R Us, Target, and online at munchkin.com from September 2015 through January 2018 for between $5 and $7. Consumers should immediately stop using the toy and contact Munchkin for a free replacement toy of comparable value.
The toy can break into smaller pieces, exposing tiny beads contained within its chambers. If these beads or broken pieces are swallowed by a young child, they can cause choking or airway obstruction.
Consumers should immediately take the bath toy away from young children and contact Munchkin for a free replacement bath toy of comparable value.
