CPSC, Discovery Toys Announce Recall of Children's Toy Phones
What was recalled
The battery-operated, multicolored toy flip phone is red, blue and yellow with green, blue, yellow and orange dial buttons. Each button has its own sound: a ring, a beeping dialing tune, a busy signal and a "hello." The toy phone has a blue hard-plastic antenna with a ball-shaped tip that makes a clickity-clack sound.
Hazard
The blue, hard plastic antenna ball can break off the toy phone, posing a choking hazard to young children.
Injuries
Discovery Toys received eight reports of the antenna ball breaking off the toy phones. No injuries have been reported.
Where it was sold
- The toy phones were sold nationwide through Discovery Toys sales network. They were sold in the U.S. and Canada, from May 1999 through November 2000, for about $10, and have since been discontinued.
