Toddler Talk Toy Mobile Phones have been recalled by Discovery Toys LLC, of Livermore, California, due to choking hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada (HC), just announced.

About 2,900 Toddler Talk Toy Mobile Phones have been recalled in the United States; 700 have been recalled in Canada.
The toy’s clear plastic antenna can break off, posing a choking hazard to young children.

A child was found mouthing the toy phone’s antenna, but it was removed by his mother.
This recall involves a red and blue plastic, battery-operated toy mobile phone with a small, clear antenna; buttons numbered “1, 2, 3, 4, and Play”; a screen with a boy’s face; and the words “hello! hola! bonjour!” Only model number 1231 is involved in this recall. The model number is printed on the toy’s packaging. “Discovery Toys” is stamped into the red plastic on the back of the toy.
The recalled Toddler Talk Toy Mobile Phones, which were manufactured in China, were sold through Discovery Toys Educational Consultants nationwide from September 2010 through November 2010 for about $18.
