Fisher-Price announced today that it has recalled about 10 million toys because they are dangerous to children. Almost a million high chairs are being recalled because of reports of children being cut by the legs of the chair.
The toy maker said it has recalled almost 3 million baby play areas with inflatable balls because they found that a valve from the inflatable ball can come off and become a choking hazard.
Fisher-Price said it knew of 46 reports where the valve came off in the U.S. and eight incidents in Canada.
“These include 14 reports of the valve found in a child’s mouth and three reports of a child beginning to choke. No injuries have been reported,” a rep from Mattel said.
Millions of tricycles are also being recalled over a protruding part that had cut children, the company said, and reported that six incidents required medical attention.
Also recalled, about 120,000 small car toys because of at least two reported cases where the wheels came off and caused a choking hazard.
