Just a day after parents were warned about unsafe sleep aids for infants, toy giant Fisher-Price has recalled 11 million items for infants and toddlers, including a tricycle that can cause genital bleeding. According to NBC News: "The sweeping recall, announced Thursday, comes after 24 reported incidents of injuries to young children. Seven kids needed stitches after being cut by pegs on Fisher-Price high chairs, and at least six 2- to 3-year-old girls experienced genital bleeding when they sat or fell against protruding plastic ignition keys on Fisher-Price toddler tricycles."
Another part of the recall: "A variety of baby toys and soft gyms with inflatable balls are being taken off the market because the valve of the inflatable balls can detach and pose a choking hazard."
The list of recalled products:
- Fisher Price Trikes and Tough Trikes toddler tricycles
- Baby Playzone Crawl & Cruise Playground, Baby Playzone Crawl & Slide Arcade, Baby Gymtastics Play Wall, Ocean Wonders Kick & Crawl Aquarium (C3068 and H8094), 1-2-3 Tetherball, Bat & Score Goal
- Healthy Care, Easy Clean and Close to Me High Chairs
- Fisher-Price Little People Wheelies Stand 'n Play Rampway with model numbers T4261 and V6378
