Toy News: Recall of Infantino Toys
Author: Caitlin
Now, normally I don’t get overly excited about toy recalls. I mean, they happen all the time, and sometimes it seems like it’s nearly impossible to keep up with all of them. Well, last week I heard about Infantino’s recall of some of their toys that had blue metallic fabric. Thinking it was just another overreaction, I halfheartedly grabbed Small Person #3’s Lil Chef Set pan out of the diaper bag… and discovered that she nearly died.
Ok, not really. The fact is, though, the fabric was indeed detaching from the toy. If I hadn’t been looking for it, I might not have noticed it, and she could have theoretically suffocated. Granted, the odds of that happening are pretty slim, but it suddenly became a much more real thought when I saw that our product actually suffered from the feared malfunction.
Of course, she still loves the other piece in the set, the plastic measuring spoons (we lost the shaker a while ago). When she starts swinging those around, watch out! Hopefully our replacement pan will arrive soon so she’ll be able to play cooking with her brother… or at least have something to gnaw on while he happily spills water all over the floor.
