RadioShack Corp. is recalling about 25,000 of its Child Guidance toy pliers. The toy's sliding yellow knob can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children.
The recall involves the Child Guidance "Busy Baby Activity Tool Pliers," which are about 6-inches long. The plastic toy has an orange handle, a red center knob and a yellow sliding knob on the side. The red center knob has "child GUIDANCE" written on it. The battery-operated toy makes various electronic sounds, plays music and has flashing lights. The pliers also contain multicolored beads. A label on the back reads, "RadioShack." The pliers were sold at RadioShack stores nationwide and the RadioShack Web site from August 2004 through February 2006 for about $6. Consumers should take these toy pliers away from children and return them to any RadioShack store for a refund. Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact RadioShack at (800) 843-7422 anytime, or go to the firm's Web site at www.radioshack.com. The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). |
