About 273,000 pool toys, manufactured by Wild Planet Toys Inc., are being recalled because they pose a risk of impalement injury to children.

Wild Planet said that when the toy is partially filled with water, it can stand upright on the pool floor with the rigid narrow end pointed upward, posing an impalement risk.

The company has received one report of an impalement injury to an 8-year-old girl who landed seat first on a toy left in a swimming pool and received a puncture wound.

The Jet Streamers Outdoor Antics! Pump-Action Water Blasters are straight squirt guns for the pool.

The Jet Streamers measure 9 inches long with a bulbous water reservoir at one end and a rigid tapering handle containing a small water intake hole at the other end.

The toys were sold as a 2-pack set, in packages with other pool toys, such as dive balls and magnet dive gloves, and with boys' swim trunks.

The recalled toys were sold at Target, Kohl’s, Internet retailers, discount department stores and toy stores nationwide from February 2003 through August 2006 for between $6 and $13 a set.

Customers should immediately stop using the Jet Streamers and contact Wild Planet for a replacement product.

The replacement product has an angled handle that prevents the handle of the toy from standing upright.

Consumers can contact Wild Planet Toys at 800-247-6570 or visit the company's Web site for more recall information.
