Recall Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Today's Kids, of Dallas, Texas, recalled about 103,000 spinning ride toys. The center column can break, causing a child to suddenly fall backward or be hit in the face by the broken column.
Today's Kids had received 1,427 reports of the toy’s columns breaking off, resulting in five injuries. Injuries include bumps on heads, cut faces and split lips. Two children required stitches.
The Music & Lights Kidaround Spinner™ is a purple turntable with a green column through the middle, which is topped by a yellow steering wheel. The child sits on the turntable and spins around by turning on the steering wheel. The toy plays five songs and lights flash while the child is spinning. The toy's packaging indicates it is intended for children 1-1/2 to 5 years old. A sticker on the center of the steering wheel reads, "today's kids®". The battery cover, on the side of the green column reads, "MADE IN CHINA". The bottom of the turntable reads, "MADE IN U.S.A.".
Toy and discount department stores nationwide sold these spinning ride toys from July 1999 through May 2000 for about $20.
