Product Recall
Toy Mobile phones recalled for choking hazard
February 28, 2006

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with International Playthings Inc., of Parsippany, N.J., has announced a recall of iPlay My First Mobile Phones. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

The toy phone's yellow antenna can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children. The CPSC and the firm have received one report of the antenna breaking off. No injuries have been reported.

Manufactured in China, the My First Mobile phone is a red and blue flip style mobile phone with a yellow bear on the cover and a yellow hard plastic antenna. Inside the flip phone are five round orange numeric buttons, as well as a sun button. The phone sounds with various ring tones when the buttons are depressed. On the inside top cover on the phone is a mirror and a spinning star with a lady bug button. “Made in China” is printed on the back of the battery cover.

3,712 of the toys were sold in specialty toy stores in Canada from August 2002 through November 2005.

Consumers should contact the firm to receive information on returning the product to receive a free replacement item of similar value.
