Kids Station Toys Recalls Little Tikes Toy Cell Phones

May 28, 2008
Kids Station Toys is recalling 1 million Little Tikes 'Chit 'N Chat' Toy Cell Phones.

The hinge cover on the toy cell phone can detach from the phone, posing a choking hazard to young children.

CPSC and the firm have received three reports of the toy breaking, including one report of a child beginning to choke on a small part.

The Little Tikes brand Chit 'N Chat Toy Cell Phone resembles a flip-phone style cell phone and has a 10-key numeric button pad and three buttons with pictures of animals. All of the buttons make a sound when pressed. The toy phones are multi-colored and have a sticker on the back with model number KSL4010 (sold separately) or KSL8032, KSL8033, or KSL8051 (sold with other items). 'Designed and Licensed by Kids Station Toys International Ltd.' is printed on the back of the toy phones. Toy phones with a screw visible on the hinge cover are not subject to the recall.

The toys were sold at department, juvenile product, and drug stores nationwide from June 2006 through March 2008 for about $8 (individually) or about $20 (set). They were made in China.

Consumers should take these toy phones away from young children immediately and contact the firm for instructions on obtaining a free replacement.

For additional information, contact Kids Station toll-free at (888) 620-0930 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.kidsstationtoys.com.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
