02502 · Recalled 2001-10-23 · CPSC page
Description
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.
Hazards
The blue, hard plastic antenna ball can break off the toy phone, posing a choking hazard to young children.
Reported injuries
Discovery Toys received eight reports of the antenna ball breaking off the toy phones. No injuries have been reported.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the toy phone immediately and call Discovery Toys for a free repair kit. Purchasers were sent direct mail notification of this recall.
