Stoebe, who has two children under age 5, estimates there were 100 insulin syringes in the box.

"If I hadn't opened the box right away and my daughter got into and she's playing with it or my son opens the package they could hurt themselves," Stoebe said.

Toys "R" Us said in an email, "We are in the process of looking into this matter to determine how this may have occurred."
