Hinge Presents Choking Hazards

The maker of about 1 million toy cell phones has recalled them because they present a choking hazard, according to a news release from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Kids Station Toys International said the hinge cover can detach, causing the concern.

There have been three reports of the toy breaking. One child started to choke on a part.

The Little Tikes-brand Chit 'n' Chat phone looks like a flip phone and has a 10-key pad, plus three buttons with pictures of animals. The buttons all make sounds.

The multi-colored phones have a sticker on the back with model number KSL4010, KSL8032, KSL8033, or KSL8051. They were sold separately and with other products.

Toys with a screw visible on the hinge cover are not subject to the recall.

They were sold at stores nationwide from June 2006 through March 2008 for about $8 alone or $20 in a set.

Consumers should take the phones away from young children and contact Kids Station for a free replacement. You can call 888-620-0930 or visit the firm’s Web site at KidsStationToys.com.
