The consumer indicates that her two year-old daughter sat on the puffer ball and air came out while her five year-old either tore it open or cut it with scissors. Later that night the consumer saw three AG10 button batteries with surrounding plastic sitting on her table and realized that it had come from the puffer ball, which she was unaware was supposed to light up since it never did out of the box. The consumer went to store to check another puffer ball as she had torn the tag off the one she purchased and realized that it was supposed to have three batteries. The tag does state that it has button batteries but she did not read this prior to the incident. The puffer ball is marketed for ages three and up. The consumer states that her daughters used the ball for three to four hours. The consumer plans on keeping the ball for at least the next thirty days in case an investigation ensues.

Play Day Dino Duel Pool Game purchased at Walmart. Our 9 year old got onto the dinosaur blow up toy in the shallow end of the in ground pool and it immediately flipped her backwards. She has a scraped back and a scraped arm. Our 15 year old then attempted to get onto it in a different manner. It flipped her backwards as well. She scraped her back on the side of the pool. She then attempted to get onto the dinosaur while in the middle of the pool. There was no way to get onto it safely and stay on it. This is a dangerous toy and will be returned to Walmart. There is a definite potential for a serious head injury and possible drowning. We were lucky that didn't happen.

The item is a desktop toy, Wacky Inflatable Tube Guy, sold by Running Press as a small book with battery operated toy. Upon inserting the new alkaline battery, the toy did not work, and upon examination we realized the battery had gotten extremely hot in about 20 seconds. If we had just set the non-working toy aside, it could have caused a fire.

We bought a PAW Patrol Chase Bop Ball (UPC# 0 76666 26607 4) from Target. The ball had a greasy coating on it and reeked like it had been soaked in gasoline. Fortunately, my husband and I noticed this right away, especially since it was a blow up ball that would have required our kids to put their mouths on the contaminated rubber. We tried to wash the ball, but the chemical remained and the odor persisted. It was so strong that it was literally nauseating. This can't be safe for kids.

I purchased an extra-large inflatable rubber ball from Walmart for my 19 month old granddaughter. Had the ball for about a week. The ball was never used outside, just in my living room. On Friday night 3/1/2019 my wife was sitting in the living room watching TV, and the ball just exploded. The ball separated into two pieces If my granddaughter had been playing with the ball at the time of the explosion she would have been hurt. The information on the ball is : Hedstrom Ball Bounce & Sport Inc Ashland, Ohio 44805 54-3450W Not sure why this ball exploded, but I am concerned that if a child is playing with one, and it explodes they will get hurt.

My 8 year old child received a remote control inflatable Minion as a present. The manufacturer is Bladez Toyz Ltd. I assembled the toy, inserting 4 brand new AA Duracell brand batteries in the wheel base of the toy that also housed the batteries and the on off switch. Within minutes, because the sound stopped functioning almost immediately, I inspected the wheel base and felt that the base was warm to the touch. I removed all four batteries and inserted 4 different Duracell brand AA batteries from a different pack and double checked the polarity. The sound still did not work but the toy seemed to function otherwise. Within 15 - 20 minutes upon putting my child to bed, I smelled plastic burning. I inspected the wheel base again and it was hot to the touch. In removing the batteries they were so hot I had to drop them to keep from burning my fingers. I report this because I am afraid if I had not discovered this it could have caused a fire in the bedroom of my child.
