Polly Pocket /Barbie Tanner Toys in RECALL!!

beard0609

My youngest big Polly fan and I think that we have bout 6 or 7 of the sets that are on the list!!
From what others are saying there won't be anything on the returns list she would want either.. A fairer way would to give you a refund and at least that way the children could choose toys that they actually want!

To everyone moaing about giving up a loved toy and getting something you dont want back-well dont send them back!!!

If this recall is for toys that were manufactured up to 5 years ago, they will have been well played with with no incident. Give them a thorough check yourself, them just stop worrying.

DD has a huge crate full of PP sets, dont have a clue what, and I dont intend to do a thing. SHe is sensible enough not to put things in her mouth, so no problems!

Seems to me there is lots of moaning going on here, when you could see this as an opportunity to clear out some stuff and get something for it.

toys r us are still selling the Polly world quik clik kick mode (which is recalled) at a reduced price (around £3) so you could buy this, and return it to get a full price product in return!

What a scummy, immoral thing to do.

THis is a money saving site, not a 'lets spread our dishonest and immoral ideas' site

As usual nothing constructive to add, why bother - sad, lonely, bitter, miserable? :rotfl:

i bet my kids have a good 5 or 6 toys that has been recalled i dont think they will be happy giving them up.

am I getting this right all i do is send them back to mattel and they send a list of toys to replace them with ?

You need to contact them first there is a number and email addy on their website. They will send you a list and labels to return your recalled toys. The list of replacements is very limited.

There is a thread already running in the "Warnings" board

None of these, actually, just trying to help some of you who seem to be distraught that you have been invited to send some old toys back to the manufacturer in exchange for nice, shiny new ones.

I was just suggesting that if you DDs are really going to be so upset, you dont need to send them back, so long as you have assured yourselves of their saftey. Ans as some of the recalled toys go back 5 years, I guess it is pretty safe to say that your children arent in imminent danger.

Face it, you are going to upgrade some old toys-surely you can see some positive in that. And there is no need to take it personally (although if the boot fits.....:rolleyes: )

Well said!!:T

I also agree with the last few comments. As others have said the replacement offers aren't of much use to little girls, plus who knows where all the different bits are. I'll check around for any loose magnets, but I'm confident my DD won't be putting them in her mouth.

Vigilance is best, methinks.

ps was in TK Maxx yesterday - they are still selling a few of the PP range.
