19YOF PRESENTS WITH FINGER DEFORMITY AND LEG PAIN AFTER BEING STRUCK IN THE LEG WITH A ***. DX: FINGER DEFORMITY

We purchased a kids meal at sonic which included a toy. My 4 year old daughter's left pinkie finger became trapped in the cylinder of the toy for 4-5 hours. We first tried using liquid soap, vegetable oil and ice water to remove it. Then, after over an hour when we were going to the emergency room my boyfriend notified his sister we were on the way to the ED which was just passed her house, and she suggested we stop by to see if her friend at the fire department could get it off. The chief came to her house and used a device the department often uses to remove rings that are stuck on fingers. It has a special gaurd that protects the finger while it cuts the top part. After another hour hswears some progress but was unsuccessful in freeing her finger. He then call it in so the department sent a crew in another fire truck with additional tools and man power. It took 4 fireman, pliers and cutting devices and another 2 hours to finally remove it. After it was removed we could see an inner ring on the cylinder that was causing the pain and cutting into her finger. The finger was cleaned and bandaged with minor bleeding and significant swelling. 10 days later she still has a scab and red line around where the inner ring cut and trapped her finger. I have many pictures of the incident, as well as the toy but can't get them uploaded at this time.

Caller and her daughters went to the circus in March 2012, while there she purchased a boomerang disc for her thirteen year old son. He did not take the disc out of the package until May 25th when it became warm outside. He had been outside throwing the disc for approximately ten minutes when the disc came back after a throw and hit him in the face lacerating from inside his bottom lip on left side to the outside of the lip in same area. Caller took her son directly to a plastic surgeon that she had used in other circumstances. Plastic Surgeon estimated thirteen stitches inside and outside her son's lip. She contacted distributor around May 26th and received a return call from them via [REDACTED] who identified herself as the Manager of Consumer Products Customer Service for company. [REDACTED] asked if child was alright, what happened and ended call. She called again May 30th, asked caller for any numbers on product because she was planning to have this this item pulled from the distribution market for that area. She also asked caller to return disc to company, caller refused this request advising [REDACTED] that she would be filing report with CPSC. Around mid June 2012 caller was contacted by [REDACTED] who identified himself as a Third Party Claim Administrator who represented the distributor. [REDACTED] asked her to again state what had happened and informed her that he would be recording the conversation. She objected to the recording. She does not wish to sue, she would ask that the "balance" of any amount billed by the plastic surgeon and not covered by her insurance company then be paid at the distributor or manufacturer's expense.

The frisbee is a coiled spring steel ring with a swed nylon cover, coiled up this Frisbee in the pouch has no Warning that it snaps open, when pulled out of the pouch. The Frisbee hit me iunnthe eye, has a great deal of Kinetic Energy and could be potentially injurious to a child or even AN ADULT, AS IT POPS OUT OF THE POUCH WHEN HALF PULLED OUT, AND YOU CANNOT CONTROL IT IF YOU HAVEN'T USED IF BEFORE. THE RING HAS THE POTENTIAL OF SEPERATING A SNAPPING INTO AN EYE OR PENETRATING THE SKIN. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS TOY, WITH POTENTIAL DEATHLY RESULTS. this is an extreamly dangerious toy/gift being given out due to how it is contained in the pouch coiled up....

Today my son was thrown a Mini Beamo 16" Flying Hoop. It hit him in the face at eye level, as it was spinning towards him. The toy broke the skin left of his left eye, as well as severing the bridge of his nose. He required 4 stitches to reattach his nose below the laceration. The physician told us his cartilage was severed and that the wound will be at risk of infection until healed. The flying hoop toy was thrown to him by a 5 year old boy. His parents purchased the toy 48 hours prior. The toy is a fabric and foam wrapped fiberglass hoop, with a splinter revealed and poking through the fabric. The splintered piece of fiberglass mostly like cut my son's face and nose. Numerous customer reviews posted on Amazon.com reflect that the durability of this product is insufficient for lasting more than a day or two. In my son's case, he nearly lost his eye sight, and we will be fortunate if he just gets away with a scared face.

Consumer stated that this sport equipment that can be used as a toy, however, he was struck in the face with the product which caused severe damages to his glasses and losing sight in his right eye, by someone using it on the golf field. He was taken to an emergency room by an helicopter to Massachussets In air, Mass. General hospital, where surgery was performed and he was admitted for 3 days and had to returned for a follow up surgery, he spent over a week in the hospital. Consumer suffered the following injuries: A) a hatchet like blow to the right orbital area which cleaved the polycarbonate lens the defendant was wearing, B) lacerations to the wall of the socket C) rupture of the eye D) near excision of the cornea E) expulsion and loss of the intraocular lens F)total destruction of the iris G)detachment of the retina H)loss of anterior/posterior integrity of the eye I)ultimately enucleation of the eye. The lack of proscription, warning and labeling of the disk contributed to reckless and negligent behavior on the part of the person who threw the disk and a lack of awareness of the lethality of what can only be described as a flying hatchet. Furthermore, the disk has been apparently engineered to maximize rotation and flight dynamics which increases its lethality without explicit warning to the general public. Consumer would not have trusted his health or safety to general or negligent use of the disk by anyone if he had known of the terrifying consequences. Chronic and ongoing injuries conssit of residual inflammation of the eyelids and socket, chronic pain, loss of binocular vision, depression and generalized physical debilitation. Consumer stated that the product is a safety hazard in the way it is designed and is concern what it can do to children, if he has been injured by this product. Consumer feels that this sporting equipment/toy should be investigated.

My son (8 years old) was playing with his brother (6 years old). The toy is a flying ring similar to a frisbee. However, the toy is very stiff with sharp/hard edges. My 6 year old threw it toward my 8 year old who attempted to catch it. He missed and it struck his face. The disc sliced his face which required 3 stitches. This is NOT a safe toy. It is meant to be thrown back and forth between children, but it's like throwing a knife!!

My husband purchased some outside toys on Saturday for the nice weather outside. He bought the JA-RU pull spin saucer for my son. No where on the warning or label did it mention to stand a certain distance from toy nor did it mention that the saucer can go sideways instead of straight up. I was on the right side of my husband and the saucer flew side ways and side swiped my face giving me burns and ripping parts of my skin off my cheek and nose. I am thankful that it was not my son's face that got injured. I am requesting a stronger warning label or that this toy be removed. It could have injured my eye it was so close. I have pictures.

My 6 year old son suffered a severe eye injury while playing with a Wham-O Frisbee Field Goal product (item 72105). He was cleaning up the game in our back yard. He was pulling one of the field goal poles out if the ground. When the spike (which is attached to an elastic band) was released from the ground it struck his right eye and destroyed his lens and iris. A break away elastic band or cord with less strength may have prevented this injury. Additional precautions or warnings may also be helpful to prevent similar eye injuries to others.
