Munchkin Bathtub Subs are being recalled because the intake valve on the bottom of the submarine toy can suck up loose skin! This poses a laceration hazard to children.
The battery-operated bathtub submarine toy (pictured) is yellow, with a smiling face, turquoise windows, an orange propeller and an orange periscope that turns the toy on and off. The intake valve has a water pump that sucks in water to make the submarine move along.
These toys were sold at mass merchandise retail stores nationwide and children’s stores nationwide for around $7 from November 2009 through September 2010.
If you have one, please contact Munchkin at (877) 242-3134 anytime, for instructions on how to return the product for a free replacement toy. You can also visit the company’s website.
