Pool Toys Recalled by Wild Planet Toys Due to Risk of Impalement Injury to Children
Wild Planet has received one report of an impalement injury to an 8-year-old girl who landed seat first onto a Jet Streamer left in a swimming pool and received a puncture wound.
When partially filled with water, the pool toy can stand upright on the pool floor with the rigid narrow end pointed upward, posing an impalement risk.
The Jet Streamers™ Outdoor Antics! Pump-Action Water Blasters are straight squirt guns for the pool. The Jet Streamers measure 9-inches long with a bulbous water reservoir at one end and a rigid tapering handle containing a small water intake hole at the other end. The tapering handle is gray while the bulbous water reservoir varies in colors of white/green, blue/yellow and orange/silver.
In 2002, there were an estimated 212,400 toy-related injuries
The individual body parts having the most injuries overall were faces (45,400), heads (27,100) and mouths (16,200). Lacerations, contusions, and abrasions were involved in over half of the total injuries (53%). CPSC has reports of 13 children who died in toy-related deaths in 2002.
