WTF? Flashing toothbrushes?

OK....I bought my DD's those flashing TB's, we've had them for a couple of weeks, and they LOVE them, but I'm a little freaked out and they may go to the trash unless you ladies can ease my mind lol.

I just went in tthe bathroom and turned on the light. When I did, those damn things started flashing. Has NEVER happened before, and they are the kind that you have to PUSH the bottoms down to get going. My 5 yo DD can't do it, it needs that much pressure to start. Has it ever happened to any of you?

Lol my kids had toothbrushes like that and they really liked them. No they never turned on buy themselves though. I say keep them if your kids really like them

Only if they don't turn on by themselves anymore. I feel like I'm losing my mind as it is......I don't need any assistance from toothbrushes lol.

Ours do that too.  I am thinking it is something with the light triggering them somehow...lol.  When I go to the bathroom at night and turn the light on, there is one that always starts flashing.  It is always the same one.  I was like, "What the hell?" at first...lol.  But, then I just got used to it.

it may have just been because you turned on the light. i have a toy for my boys that will turn on by itself when it notices a sudden change in light. it is a little weird but they love it so i don't care. plus it has only happend once.

Whew.....scared the shit outta me. It was weird though, they turned on AT THE SAME TIME!! Both of them.....that's what got to me. If it was just one, I'd think low battery or something.
