Pool Toys Recalled by Wild Planet Toys Due to Risk of Impalement Injury to Children


Wild Planet has received one report of an impalement injury to an 8-year-old girl who landed seat first onto a Jet Streamer left in a swimming pool and received a puncture wound.

When partially filled with water, the pool toy can stand upright on the pool floor with the rigid narrow end pointed upward, posing an impalement risk.

The Jet Streamers™ Outdoor Antics! Pump-Action Water Blasters are straight squirt guns for the pool. The Jet Streamers measure 9-inches long with a bulbous water reservoir at one end and a rigid tapering handle containing a small water intake hole at the other end. The tapering handle is gray while the bulbous water reservoir varies in colors of white/green, blue/yellow and orange/silver.

Tiny raised lettering on the Jet Streamers’ handles state, “©2002 Wild Planet Toys, San Francisco, CA, USA, Made in China.” The toys were sold as a 2-pack set, in packages with other pool toys, such as dive balls and magnet dive gloves, and with boys’ swim trunks. The product packaging is labeled “Jet Streamers,” “Wild Planet” and is for children ages five and older.
