Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Zuru is recalling about 7.5 million Robo Alive Junior Baby Shark and Mini Baby Shark bath toys. These toys have a hard plastic top fin that can cause impalement, cuts, or puncture wounds if a child sits or falls on it. The recall covers full-size Sing & Swim toys (model #25282) and Mini Swimming toys (models #7163, #7175, #7166, or #25291) in yellow, pink, and blue. Consumers should stop using the toys immediately and contact Zuru for a refund in the form of a prepaid virtual Mastercard.

Risk

Children using these toys in a bathtub or wading pool can slip and fall or sit directly onto the shark's hard plastic top fin. This defect has already resulted in 12 reports of injuries to children, including impalement and deep cuts to the genital, facial, and rectal areas, nine of which required medical attention or stitches.

What You Should Do

  1. This recall involves Robo Alive Junior Baby Shark Sing & Swim bath toys (full-size) and Mini Baby Shark Swimming bath toys (mini-size) that feature a hard plastic top fin.

Full-size toys also have three grooves on one side of the top fin.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled bath toys and keep them out of the reach of children.
  4. Disable the toy by cutting the tail fin on full-size sharks or bending the tail fin on mini-size sharks.
