If your child has this toy or a similar one, get rid of the plastic ring. Victoria (my 2 year old) was in her playpen and managed to get the ring off of the toy and somehow stretched it out enough to put around her neck. The ring fit so tightly around her neck that I couldn't even see it, I only knew something was wrong because she wasn't able to get it back off and started to panic, so I checked on her and could only see the ring when she tossed her head back. It was scary! I will not be putting the ring back on the toy. I'm throwing it away, as well as any other rings from any other similar toys. I never would have imagined that a ring from a baby toy could potentially be dangerous like this.
