Toy cellphone problem detected
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
About 1 million Little Tikes Chit N Chat toy cellphones, manufactured in China by Kids Station Toys International Ltd., are being recalled because the hinge on the cover can come off the phone, putting children at risk of choking. The Consumer Product Safety Commission and the company have received three reports of broken cellphones, including one report of a child starting to choke. The toys were sold at department stores, children’s stores and drugstores around the country between June 2006 and March 2008.
