Munchkin and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a voluntary recall of Bathtub Subs do to a laceration hazard. The toy submarine's bottom can suck up loose skin and injure children. CPSC and the company are aware of 19 incidents of lacerations to boys' genital area. One of the incidents required medical attention.
This recall involves battery-operated bathtub submarine toys. The toy is yellow, has a smiling face, turquoise windows, an orange propeller and an orange periscope that turns the toy on and off. The intake valve has a water pump that sucks in water to propel the submarine. The toy is intended for use by children during bath time.
The submarine was sold at retail and children's stores nationwide from November 2009 through September 2010 for about $7.
