CPSC Announces Recall of Battat Defective Toy Keyrings
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Health Canada, and toymaker Battat, Inc. have issued a voluntary recall of a set of toy car keys attached to a pretend car remote. The toys have been recalled because the plastic ring that holds the keys and toy remote together can break, creating a choking hazard.
Approximately 1,080,000 of the toy key rings were sold in the U.S. and approximately 3,600 were sold in Canada. The toys consist of oversized metal and plastic “keys” attached to a plastic keyring, which hangs from a toy car remote with oversized buttons and a speaker. The remote makes noises when the buttons are pressed. So far, 17 instances of the toy’s keyring or keys coming apart have been reported.
The recall covers key rings with the product numbers H58000-01 or H26300-01. Battat, Inc. recommends that parents take the toys away from children immediately, then contact the company for a free mailing envelope in which to return the keys. The company will send a replacement toy.
When parents give toys to their children, they trust that the toys meet minimum safety standards and will not harm their children. A defective toy that does harm a child or other family member, however, can cause serious injury.
