Please check out this newscast!

This is especially important if you have a young child who uses this kind of potty seat!

Interesting. My DD used a similar seat for her potty training and still uses it when a potty is "too big" (ours has its own little bag for when we travel) I did notice that the edge was a little rough and took it upon myself after purchasing it to smooth it out instead of just leaving it like that for my DD to get hurt on. I thot it was just a mistake when ours was made (like maybe the machine missed smoothing that particular one out or something like that) I wasnt real happy to find that a childs product had a sharp edge like that( I inspect things according to what they are used for B4 allowing my DD to use them) But we needed this to finish her potty training-she was a tough one. LOL

My DD had this seat when she was little.... I cut my finger on the vinyl seam and threw it away that day..... I never thought to file a complaint. I just thought ours was defective. Now I feel bad, I wish I would have filed a formal complaint then.

DS has a Bob the Builder one that we got from Home Depot- I'll have to check to see who makes it. Thanks so much for that heads up!

We have this exact one! We got it at Target. Thanks for posting this!

You are all very welcome. Please spread the word on this.

There have been dozens of posters on several of my message boards who had these seats. I can not believe how common they are.

I am just glad that none of your children have been injured by them.
kaw1218, sorry to hear about your finger!

I was sitting here watching the video and DS4 looked shocked and said "Good thing my potty doesn't cut MY *****!". LOL

I think Walmart still carries these seats and what is up with that law passed that doesn't let us know which companies/products had complaints.

We had this potty seat. My son got it stuck over his head. It took me a few minutes to wiggle it off. The whole time I was telling myself you are not going to ER for this.

My dd has this seat too. While we have noticed the vinyl seam, we haven't cut ourselves on it...but she has pinched her fingers inbetween the seat and the regular potty a few times...she's getting older now, so she doesn't really need it, but we DEFINITELY won't be getting this seat for our son!
