Product Details
Incident Overview
On January 13, 2026, a parent reported a serious safety hazard with their child’s Fisher-Price DJ Turn Table. According to the report, the child was actively playing with the toy when the parent noticed sharp pins or nails protruding from the “spin table” component. The exact number, size, and location of the protrusions were not specified, but their presence indicates a significant manufacturing defect or structural failure. This discovery raises immediate concerns about the safety of children interacting with the product.
Safety Concerns
The presence of pins or nails sticking out of a children’s toy, especially one designed for active play, poses several severe safety risks:
- Immediate Dangers: Children, particularly toddlers and infants who explore objects with their mouths or by touch, are at high risk of puncture wounds and lacerations. Sharp objects can easily pierce skin, causing pain, bleeding, and requiring medical attention.
- Ingestion and Choking Hazards: If the pins or nails become dislodged, smaller children could potentially put them in their mouths, leading to choking or internal injuries if ingested.
- Eye Injuries: A child’s face, especially their eyes, could be severely impacted if they fall onto or brush against the protruding sharp objects.
- Infection Risk: Any puncture wound carries a risk of infection, especially if the object is not sterile or if the wound is not properly cleaned and treated.
- Who Might Be Affected: Young children, infants, and toddlers who are the primary users of such toys are most vulnerable to these hazards. Even older children could sustain injuries.
- Property Damage Potential: While the primary concern is child safety, sharp protrusions could also scratch or damage other surfaces, toys, or furniture.
What Consumers Should Do
If you own a Fisher-Price DJ Turn Table, especially one purchased from Walmart, please take the following immediate steps:
- Immediately Discontinue Use: Stop your child from playing with the toy immediately.
- Inspect the Product: Carefully examine the “spin table” and all other surfaces of the DJ Turn Table for any signs of pins, nails, sharp edges, or other unexpected protrusions. Do this visually and carefully by touch, avoiding direct contact with any suspected sharp objects.
- Secure the Product: Store the toy out of reach of children until you can determine its safety or take further action.
- Contact the Manufacturer: Reach out to FISHER-PRICE BRANDS directly to report the incident and inquire about potential remedies, replacements, or recalls.
- Report to Authorities: File a detailed incident report with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at www.SaferProducts.gov. This helps authorities track incidents and identify potential broader safety issues.
- Retain Evidence: If you discover sharp objects, take clear photographs and videos as evidence, but do not attempt to remove them yourself if it could cause further injury or damage the product in a way that hinders investigation.
