About 7.5 million “Baby Shark” bath toys are being recalled after multiple lacerations and puncture wounds were reported in children playing with them. Toymaker Zuru said it’s recalling both full-size and mini versions of its robotic baby shark toys that have hard plastic top fins. Twelve injuries have already been reported with Zuru’s full-sized Robo Alive Junior Baby Shark Sing & Swim Bath Toys — after children sat or fell on the now-recalled toys. Nine of these cases required stitches or medical attention, according to a Thursday release from the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Consumers in possession of these recalled toys are instructed to stop using them immediately and contact Zuru for a full refund.

Sharks are evolving. They used to only bite people, they’ve moved up to stabbing.

That “TRY ME” reads like a warning, I guess those kids couldn’t read

That was the first thing I saw as well, lol. Actually reads more like a warning than an innocent: “Try me out :)”

That reminds me that I need to find an r/nottheonion alternative on here.

It’s a shark. They knew what they were getting into. If they didn’t want danger, they’d have bought a duck or something.
