Question by joseph b: hey can someone help me that really knows the answers to the big toy recall?
Hello, I have a diego talking rescue 4×4 that I was going to wrap up for x-mas and my hubby is flipping out because of the recall. This product was on the recall but the time frame does not match. The recall says between april-aug. I explained to him that I bought mine in either Jan or Feb at the latest but he is worried and doesn’t want to chance it. Would some one please tell him that they give those dates for a reason. I mean I’ve never had to return a product on a recall before so I am not familiar with it but I thought that the dates they give are very specific and that those are the only ones to worry about. If they were unsure I’m sure they would have included a bigger time frame. Can anyone help me out and maybe make me feel a little better about this whole thing. Of course I wouldn’t jeopardize my child’s health over a toy and thats how my hubby is making me feel. Can anyone give me some reassurance or something so I can reassure him. If I’m wrong, someone please let me know.

Give your answer to this question below!
You’re right, but that’s small consolation from my perspective. I urge you to consider fully the huge number of recalled items and not offer this toy to your child at all. Could any of us have anticipated the spate of recalls we’ve seen this year? And who of us really knows whether or not any of the mega toy companies will not announce further recalls of other items–months or even years after they were produced. I know it’s really late, but in the interest of family peace, I would advise you to donate the toy (if, as you suggest, it doesn’t fall within the recall dates and is otherwise and “okay” toy). I appreciate your concern, but I also value your husband’s prudence. There are lots of more important things you both can and will give your child–like your love and care–and no toy should substitute for that. Check out the link below to the enormous list of recalled items on the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission’s website. If you delve into them, you’ll see that some recall announcements were indeed made months and years after the toys were released to the public. If I were in your place I would not give this toy to your child. I hope you have a peaceful Christmas.
