The Bath Time Pals bath toy set comes with one squirting frog, two squirting pearls and two squirting fish. The toys comply with toy safety regulations.
Confirm these details on the official CPSC noticeWhy it was recalled
The fish's size, texture, shape and easy compressibility make it possible for an infant to compress the toy and place it in his or her mouth. If the toy reaches the back of the mouth and expands, it may block the child's airway.
Incidents and injuries
CPSC and Sassy are aware of one report of an infant who put the toy fish in his mouth gagged and vomited and two other reports of infants who put the toy fish in their mouths and started to choke. Sassy is working cooperatively with the CPSC in taking action to correct this problem.
