I believe that if I were a toy producer, I would set a safety criterion that was somewhat above “Our products must not expose children to the risk of impalement.”
I do not, however, work for ZURU Toys.
Approximately 7.5 million Baby Shark and Mini Baby Shark bath toys have been recalled by that firm as a result of complaints of 12 children suffering injuries, of which 75% required medical attention.
“Zuru 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,” the Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a recall notice posted Thursday to its website.
“Nine of the incidents required stitches or medical attention,” the site said.
An incident rate of 12 out of 6.5 million units sold equals about 0.00018 percent.
Mini Baby Shark toys made up the other million goods that were recalled.
The Mini Baby Shark bath toys were recalled despite the manufacturer’s claim that it was unaware of any issues with them. This was probably done out of an abundance of caution.
The concerned products are also fully described on the website.
For customers who follow the recall procedures on the website and upload a picture of the “disabled” product for proof, Zuru provided a refund of $14 for the larger toy and $6 for each Mini Baby Shark, given in the form of a digital Mastercard.
CPSC lists “Walmart, CVS Pharmacy, Dollar General Corp., Family Dollar Services, HEB Grocery Company, Meijer, Target, TJX Companies, Ross, and Walgreens stores” as outlets for the products, in addition to the usual online retailers. The Chinese-made toys have been available since 2019 and appear to have been sold widely.
According to the company website, “ZURU Toys is one of the largest toy companies in the world, known for its innovation, creativity, and disruption through automation.”
“Inspired by kids and imaginative play, ZURU Toys distributes to all major retailers in over 120 countries and has delighted millions of families all over the world with brands such as Bunch O Balloons™, X-Shot™, Rainbocorns™, Robo Alive™, Smashers™, 5 Surprise™ and Pets Alive™ and partnerships with entertainment properties, including Nickelodeon, Disney, Universal Studios and DreamWorks.”
Along with its toy section, ZURU also runs ZURU Edge, a consumer goods business that creates care items for people, their homes, and their pets.
In order to automate some aspects of the construction process, the company also works in the construction sector and produces building information modeling software that generates three-dimensional images of prospective building projects.
“Ten years in the making, ZURU Tech has reinvented every aspect of the construction process, developing the world’s first BIM software that directly connects to fully automated production,” the company’s website claims.
The CPSC website did not have any other ZURU goods mentioned as being recalled.

So, is there ANYTHING American-made anymore?
The answer to that question is most definitely YES!
And it’s why I’m so passionate about my new mission.
I NEVER leave you with just the problem.
You know I’ve got the solution!
In fact, this is EXACTLY why I started my new mission close to four years ago.
The new mission is simply this: to help build out the Parallel-Economy.
Because here’s what I realized…
You THINK you have a choice between all these companies listed below in the circle, but what most people don’t realize is they’re all owned by only 11 companies.
11.
Interesting number.
Will probably be even less than that in the future when these merge even further.
It’s an ILLUSION of choice.
The same goes for all your media…
It’s just an ILLUSION of different choices, but owned by these 6 companies:
Now back to my Mission and my solution.
There has been a need for a Parallel-Economy and it would take time to build it but it is here finally.
They’ve been in business for 37 years and they’re a VERY pro-American, pro-Liberty, pro-Conservative values company!
They’re an American-based, Made-In-America, warehoused-in-America, shipped-from-America company!
In fact, they’re the last private, family-owned, pro-American consumer goods company left in America NOT owned by those 11 companies I showed you above.
Oh, and what if I told you the products are BETTER and often CHEAPER than what you get from those 11 companies above?
Yes, for real.
Once I learned all of that, I knew I no longer had to build this from the ground up by myself, I simply needed to partner with this awesome company to help them get the word out.
So on top of being the last Family-owned major consumer goods manufacturer not part of the Big-11, comparable or often lower prices, supporting American jobs and families, but here’s the best part.
Non-toxic products!
That means no Red Dye 40 or fluoride in the toothpaste or chemicals in the cleaning products, or Deet in the mosquito repellant.
Oh, and Black Angus beef, pasture-raised on hundreds of thousands of acres.
Free roaming with plenty of open-air between all the cattle.
Grass-fed.
No hormones and no antibiotics.
Never!
Oh, and it’s CHEAPER than Omaha Steaks!
But that’s a whole other topic!
Sound good to anyone else?
Me too!
The reason you’ve never heard of them is because it’s Invite Only.
I can get you in, but you can’t just go sign up.
They only want people on the same mission to join and they’re happy to say “no” to the Far-Left Libs!
They’ve been doing it for 37 years and it’s been working great.
Imagine that!
No call centers from India.
Just real, friendly, helpful, and NICE Americans helping Americans!
Wow, like going back in a time machine.
So it is Invite only…and good thing you know someone that has the invites….(me!).
If you’d like to find out more and get a FREE personal invite, just go here and I will get the info out to you!
It’s the real deal, and because they don’t raise the Black Angus as the big companies do, they may have the SHUT OFF invites if they grow too fast.
So if you want in, let me know soon.
There’s only one pro-American, American-made and manufactured, chemical-free, toxin-free, hormone-free, company left….and I’m teaming up with them to FIGHT BACK!
Who’s with me?
