Today’s toy recall is one that could make SNL’s “Really by Seth & Amy” parody segment highlights. Toy designers alone are not blame for this one. Did Target Corporation’s quality assurance, risk assessment and safety experts take the day off when this Children’s Frog Mask was approved for production?

A child who wraps this stuffed mask around their face, will be able to see through the two eye holes at the top of the mask. What they won’t be able to do is BREATH! Those wearing the mask covering their nose and mouth, will only be “ribbiting” a short time until they start to “croak!”
That’s right – where are the breathing holes? According to the CPSC recall notice, covering a child’s face with this mask presents a potential suffocation hazard. DUH! Target has announced the retrieval attempt for about 3,400 of the green and yellow frog masks, sold exclusively at Target stores in August and September 2011. The masks were sold for a mere $1 each.
The UPC code 06626491474 is marked on a colorful tag attached to the mask.
It’s a bit of an embarrassing moment, but consumers who actually purchased this mask should stop using it immediately and return the product to any local target store for a refund.
