More than 7.5 million plastic “baby” sharks are being recalled after several children impaled or slashed themselves on the hard plastic fin while bathing.
“While using the recalled bath toy, particularly in a bathtub or paddling pool, a child may slip and fall or sit on the shark’s hard plastic fin,” the recall statement, posted on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s website, said on Thursday, CNN reported.
More than 7.5 million robot toys featuring the popular shark behind the song “Baby Shark” have been recalled after at least 12 children were injured by its hard fin.
According to the accident reports, the children suffered “genital, anorectal and facial injuries,” and nine of them required “stitching or medical attention,” the statement said.
Anyone who owns such a toy that was sold between May 2019 and June 2023 can contact the Zuru company for a refund.
