Beware of this toy!!!

I went upstairs for a few minutes to put away some laundry and I came down to find my 8 month old being strangled by this toy. I don't even know how he managed it but that cord was wrapped tightly around his neck. I think I just barely got to him in time, thank goodness. If you have this toy I would recommend cutting the cord. That is what I am doing.

Oh my goodness! I hope your both ok....especially Momma, that's the kind of thing to make you really freak out!

I had this toy but gave it away, the music "got to me".

Thanks for the heads up!

Oh, my gosh that is so scary! I don't have any little kids anymore but I am in charge of the nursery at my church so I'll make sure to check all of our toys!

Thank God you got back there when you did!

Oh my gosh, Robin! I bet you're still shaking!! My "baby" is three now, and though we made sure none of the blinds had cords hanging, I never thought to check his toys. I will today! Thanks so much, and give your little one a few extra hugs. My heart is in my throat just reading this!

eek! how awful! Call fisher price... I have this toy myself... I agree the string seems a bit long.

Thanks!
