Incident Details
- Incident Description: My 19 month old son was playing in the tub with a baby shark bath toy made by Zuru Inc. On 2/3/22
He slipped and fell on the hard plastic fin on top causing a cut and trauma to his anus. We took him to the doctor and had everything documented. The company needs to do something about this. My son is terrified of diaper changes and baths now due to his injury! This was very traumatic for him and it shouldn't happen to anyone else's children.
