WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Vtech Industries LLC, of Wheeling, Ill. is recalling
about 34,000 toy baby phones. The toy phones have a ball-shaped antenna
which can detach, presenting a choking hazard to young children.
CPSC and Vtech Industries have received nine reports of the
plastic ball detaching from these phones. One child reportedly started
to choke on one of these plastic balls.
The toy is called Little Smart Soft Songs Baby Phone. The cordless
baby phone has a mirror, four colorful talking musical buttons, a
ringing light-up phone button and a red on/off button. The phone is
yellow with a blue padded border and a yellow ball-shaped antenna. A
label on these toys reads "Soft Songs Baby Phone 39100." Writing on the
phone includes "VTECH" and "Little Smart Soft Songs Baby Phone."
Wal-mart stores nationwide sold the toy phones from January 2000
through May 2000 for about $10.
Consumers should immediately take these toy phones away from
children. For more information, contact VTech at (800) 521-2010 between
9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. CT Monday through Friday FOR A REPLACEMENT PHONE
