Zuru announced a recall for about 7.5 million Baby Shark bath toy products after receiving 12 reports of children injuring themselves on the toys, including lacerations and puncture wounds.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website published the recall June 22. It applies to about 6.5 million Robo Alive Junior Baby Shark Sing & Swim Bath Toys and 1 million Robo Alive Junior Mini Baby Shark Swimming Bath Toys.

Zuru says it is aware of 12 reports of children falling or sitting onto the recalled full-size Baby Shark bath toy, resulting in impalement injuries, lacerations and puncture wounds, including to children’s genital, anorectal and facial areas. 

Nine of the incidents required stitches or medical attention. There have been no reported incidents or injuries involving the Mini Baby Shark bath toys so far, the bath toy recall states. 

Zuru is not facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits.

Immediately stop using bath toys, Zuru Baby Shark recall states

Zuru sold the recalled Baby Shark bath toys at Walmart, CVS, Dollar General, Family Dollar, HEB, Meijer, Target, TJX, Ross and Walgreens stores nationwide and online at walmart.com, target.com, amazon.com and other websites. 

The company sold the full-size Baby Shark bath toys from May 2019 through March 2023 for between $13 and $15 and the mini Baby Shark bath toys individually and in multiunit packs from July 2020 through June 2023 for between $6 and $20. The specific model numbers can be seen on the CPSC website. 

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bath toys and contact Zuru for a full refund of $14 for each full-size bath toy or $6 for each mini bath toy in the form of a prepaid virtual Mastercard. 

Consumers should also disable the tail fin (by cutting it on the full-size bath toy or by bending it on the mini bath toy), mark the body of the shark with the word “recalled” and the unique code provided during registration for the recall and then upload a photo of the product at this website.

Companies have recalled many other children’s products in recent months.
