The folks at HiroInflates have an update on their wolfdog inflatable:

Hi all. It has been a while since the last update as it has took us quite a while to get the prototype as close to the design as possible, and finally the design for the blank prototype has been approved. A coloured version is on its way and we would be posting it once it is done. Apologies to all for the wait. We only hope to create the perfect inflatable wolfdog for all ;) Thank you for being patient with us.

Yet another 2012 Intex inflatable pool toy with warnings plastered all over it. After hunting on the internet for news related to injuries related to inflatable pool toys (or something that could have prompted this) – I could not find anything. Nothing but an article demonizing inflatables for being made of a “toxic plastic” known as PVC, advising people to buy other fun summer items.

I don’t think the phthalates are as big of a deal as people have made it out to me. If I’m wrong, feel free to comment with evidence.

Also please post if you find any information as to why this company is turning its product line into floating warning labels, that would be fantastic.

Edit:

The irony, inflatable toys have more warnings on them than more dangerous things like blenders and whatnot

Looks like there are pictures from the factory online of a prototype of Aaron’s dragon.

More pictures can be found at InflateThemAll.

Puffy Paws is back with a huge inflatable otter designed by Foxen! Stats from Puffy Paws are listed below. The estimated delivery date was quoted at 4-5 months after preorders close, so that would be July-August.

• 7′ long
• 1 chamber design (#3 valve)
• 0.4mm vinyl (same as our husky!)
• Overlapping seams for strength
• $350 + shipping/handling

Order yours here!

Intex’s penguin wasn’t the only toy to suffer from new safety branding.

“Interesting note: their walrus does not have the warning labels on them despite the change in box. In fact, only the Intex logo, and the dimensions print have changed. Everything else on the box stayed the same. There is no instuction manual inside the walrus box too.”
