Fisher-Price is recalling nearly a quarter-million "Sparkling Symphony" battery-powered spinning crib mobiles because liquid from corroded batteries could drip onto the infant, possibly causing chemical burns. The company has received 30 reports of leaking batteries, 5 of which resulted in minor burns.
