Note that this is the second Step2 toy recall in the past few weeks. They recalled their Basic Rhythms Toy Drums on April 27, 2010.
I am *so* angry about this recall! 10 years of manufacturing and they’ve already fixed the button on the model *THEN* they tell us to recall it – 10 years worth of manufacturing! SERIOUSLY? They should’ve recalled it when they fixed the button!
I am not sure what these companies get out of not properly testing their products. Certainly makes me back up and look at their overall mission.
