On May 28, 2008, Kids Station Toys International Ltd. recalled about one million Little Tikes Chit ?N Chat Toy Cell Phones because the hinge cover can detach from the phone, posing a choking hazard to young children. The company received three reports of the toy breaking, and one report of a child beginning to choke.

The recalled Little Tikes Chit ?N Chat Toy Cell Phones resemble a flip-phone style cell phone with 10 keys on the numeric button pad and three buttons with animal pictures, all of which make a sound when pressed. The phones are multi-colored with a sticker on the back that has model number KSL4010, KSL8032, KSL8033, or KSL8051. The phrase, ?Designed and Licensed by Kids Station Toys International Ltd.? is printed on the back of the phones.

Department stores, juvenile product stores and drug stores nationwide sold recalled Kids Station Toys Cell Phones from June 2006 through March 2008 for between $8 and $20. Consumers are advised to immediately take the phones away from young children and contact Kids Station at 888-620-0930. For more information, customers may also visit the company?s website.
