The Consumer Products Safety Commission, in conjunction with Parents Magazine, has announced the recall of some 300,000 Record-A-Voice toy cell phones. It has been reported to the manufacturer that at least 54 of the toy units have become unhinged, then releasing a metal hinge pin which poses a choking hazard to children.

The toy cell phones were sold through Target stores September 2006 through January 2007, and the recall applies only to certain manufacturing date codes. The date codes of 090106 through 101206 are specified in the CPSC news release. Worthy of note is the fact that the potentially dangerous toy cell phones were manufactured in China by Battat Inc. of Plattsburgh, NY.

Please take these toy cell phones away from young children immediately and contact Battat to receive a replacement product or refund. See the Consumer Product Safety Commission news release.

Oh, and remind the kids not to eat pet food with Chinese wheat gluten in it. We hear that stuff is dangerous also.
