WASHINGTON (AP) — About 7.5 million singing and swimming “Baby Shark” bath toys are being recalled after multiple lacerations and puncture wounds were reported in children playing with them.

Zuru, an El Segundo, California-based toymaker, said it’s recalling both full-size and mini versions of its robotic baby shark toys that have hard plastic top fins, which pose the injury risks.

Twelve injuries have already been reported with Zuru’s full-sized Robo Alive Junior Baby Shark Sing & Swim Bath Toys — after children sat or fell on the now-recalled products. Nine of these cases required stitches or medical attention, according to a Thursday release from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

While injuries have only been reported with these full-sized toys so far, Zuru is also recalling Robo Alive Junior Mini Baby Shark Swimming Bath Toys “out of an abundance of caution.”

1. You're...

2. Kissing the *ss of business again taxpayer - business has Joe Citizen cowed

and you sit there take it. Do you think for one minute, Joe Citizen, if you injured or killed someone by your action that the taxpayer would come and clean up the damage for you? If a business kills or harms a person that business should immediately be converted government property or the business will have to pay for their error and lack of responsibility. I can just hear the whine from the capitalist now.
