Do you have a musical kid? One who plays air guitar for hours in front of the mirror? And are you thinking that maybe you'll buy them the guitar that goes with the game system they got last Christmas? Well, you'd better check with the Consumer Products Safety Commission before you do, because there's a recall on the guitar.
Once again, over 50,000 potentially unsafe toys are in the hands of children who could be burned if they don't install the AA batteries properly. I don't know about your kids, but mine are typically slapdash about things like putting in batteries, especially if they're anxious to play their Wii system.
Careful and kids aren't words that go together, so I wouldn't be surprised if many kids haven't installed the batteries properly in the Rage Guitar that's the subject of the toy recall. I know I have trouble installing batteries, myself, at times.
Just when I was thinking that maybe toy recalls were slowing down and that Christmas shopping was going to be easier, this and other recalls show me that there's still plenty of room for improvement in the toy industry. Wouldn't you think all the other toy recalls, and the consumer mistrust that they caused, would have made the industry more determined to clean up their act?
With the Christmas shopping season around the corner, I know this doesn't make me confident that choosing popular toys and games made in foreign countries is a good idea. My kids' well-being trumps popularity in my book, so when I choose gifts for the kids on my list, I'll be putting safety first.
That's why I'm so angry that I have to take back this guitar that I bought to surprise my musical kid. I don't know who's more disappointed, me or the guitar hero. I guess the only bright side to playing in front of the mirror again is that air guitars don't have safety recalls.
