Recalls, by the millions!

Terri, pointed out that the Pooping Doggie with Barbie has been recalled!

I had listened to an NPR report yesterday about the Mattel recall, but did not realize that the amazing pooping dog was part of it! (note, I had recently complained about these "Made in China" toys!!)

Thank you Terri.

Now, to implement the recall in the house, we have been searching for the barbie, the dog, the poop and the scooper and have not found them yet! We got it as a gift, but still, the damn toy and the pieces just disappered!

The kids usually have blank looks when we ask them "where did that toy go?".

They recalled it faster than Mattel!

I am going to have to put transmitters into the toys just to see where they disappear.

Toys these days!

Recently Jr. received a "Barbie walking a dog" gift. I did not pay much attention to the whole toy after going through the ordeal of prying open the various pieces from the package and thinking "Kids that play with Barbie should all be geniuses, if just opening the package can be so complicated!"

The only other thing I noticed was that the dog was lifelike and somehow they had managed to make the surface of the moulded plastic have a skin like feel to it. It was amazing from a materials science standpoint!

So imagine my shock when we read the "manual" which came with Barbie and found that the pellets that were part of the package were supposed to be the dog food and dog poop!!

Confused ? See the video! It is self explanatory...

If there are parents out there who need to teach their kids that food becomes poop or poop comes from eating food, you can use my video as an educational aid!

What will they think of next ?
