Important Recall Information

By Tammy McKillip March 19, 2013
Wobbly Walkers
The whole idea behind a walker is to help your baby gain confidence on his feet, but if your child is depending on his Imaginarium Activity Walker for support, he may be in for a nasty spill if the wheels suddenly detatch. Check the barcode on your product, and if it is “3700217300319,” or "Toys 'R' Us 5F5E972," put it away immediately. Then return it to Toys R Us for a full refund. 

BrightLight Blanket is WAY too Warm!



There's nothing comforting about IdeaVillage's BrightLight blankets! These 40 by 60 inch polyester blankets are filled with pretty LED lights, but the batteries can overheat and burn your child! If you have this product, STOP using it immediately, and contact IdeaVillage online by clicking our link or at (866) 655-4342 to receive a free replacement product.

Sharp Snorkeling Masks



Swim safety gear is supposed to protect your child, but if you have purchased a Santa Cruz Jr. Youth Snorkeling Mask for your little diver, you may have more than sharks and water cramps to worry about. These tempered glass masks were sold as part of a set, along with fins, and carry the U.S. Divers or Aqua Lung Support logo. They can cause lacerations to your child's face when the lens cracks or breaks. To date, there have been nine reports of these types of injuries associated with the masks, so you should STOP USING this mask immediately, and contact U.S. Divers online or at (888) 606-6162 to receive a replacement mask. 

There is also a recall on the company's Martinique Jr. youth snorkeling masks, which also may crack and pose a laceration hazard. Contact the company for a full refund if your child has this product. 

This Disco Light is Anything but Cool!





Does your retro tween have a disco lamp? That's cool! Unless it happens to be the Tween Brand Black Disco Light (style 900528) or The Star Disco Light (style 901651), in which case it may be anything BUT cool--hot, as a matter of fact! These lamps can not only overheat and pose a burn risk, they may also cause electrical shocks. If you have this product, unplug it immediately, and return it to any Justice store for a full refund.
