As someone with a kid, I feel bad for these little ones. When a stuffed animal gets beat up or a toy gets physically damaged, it's easy to explain to them what happened and why. When a pet dies, it sucks, but at least it's an opportunity for them to learn about life and death. Good luck as a parent explaining to a kid that her beloved friend is going to stop working because some company far away screwed up, they don't care, and they designed the thing stupidly to only work as long as they were perpetually in business. Buyer beware again and again.
