Recall Fisher Price Seahorse Toy Due to Fire Risk


Recall Fisher Price Seahorse Toy Due to Fire Risk
The Issue
The Fisher Price Seahorse toy poses a serious burn risk to infants and toddlers! My 10-month old daughter has had this toy for less than a year and last night it stopped working. I figured I just needed to change the batteries again. When my husband opened the battery compartment, he noticed one of the coils had burned and there was corrosion throughout the entire compartment.
To see if any other parents had this issue, I turned to the internet and found an article that had been posted 72 hours before, stating that there WAS a fire risk with the toy - please see here: http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/call7-investigators/outcry-over-soothe-glow-seahorse-burn-risk-grows-but-no-action-from-fisher-price
Fisher Price has not only refused to issue a recall at this time, they won't even acknowledge the problem is with their toy! They claim faulty batteries are to blame.
This cannot be true due to the overwhelming response from parents nationwide, that all utilize different types of batteries and state they have found similar problems in the toy's battery compartment.
What child has to get hurt before something is done? Please sign this petition and join the outcry against Fisher Price!
