Happy Meal Toy Burns Young Boy After He Wears It For Just 8 Minutes

An Arkansas Mom is fuming after her son was burned by a toy he received in his McDonald’s Happy Meal.

The “Step-It” toy is designed to measure steps and blink lights indicating the child’s activity level. It is intended to spur activity and movement.

However, Casey Collyar, a Mom of Fort Smith, AR, said her son 4-year old son had a burn mark after letting him wear the Happy Meal toy for only eight minutes after buying him a meal from the popular fast food chain last week.

The reverse side of the toy had heated up enough to scold his skin.

She posted pictures to her Facebook page that has been shared nearly 80,000 times.

“I have received approximately eight to nine messages from other parents…all of their children have been burned by the watch, and I received one message from an adult. At this time what angers me is that McDonald’s has not pulled the Happy Meal toy,” Collyar told FOX19 NOW.

She has been in contact with McDonald’s safety lab, but at last check, employees there aren’t saying if or when the toy will be pulled from the meals, which has this Mom even more angry.

“We are looking into this matter,” wrote McDonald’s spokeswoman Terri Hickey in an email to FOX19 NOW on Wednesday.

“McDonald’s Happy Meal toys, including the Step-it Activity Bands, undergo extensive review and testing by independent safety laboratories and we remain committed to providing our youngest guests with safe and fun Happy Meal toys.”

What do you make of this? Should it be pulled or is this Mom simply overreacting. Please tell us your thoughts in the comments and SHARE with fellow parents as a warning.
