Why it was recalled
Hazard
These toys contain contaminated water that, if contacted, could cause illness to children.
Recommended action
What to do
Parents and caregivers should take these kitten toys away from children immediately, and discard or destroy them. The firm is out of business, so a replacement toy is no longer available.
Product description
The Kitty Kitty Kittens are about 12 inches long. The kitten toys make a purring noise when they are petted on the head. They come in six styles: Buttons, Tiger, Calico, Mittens, Tawny and Fluffy. The kitten's name and item number, "16400," are printed on a hangtag attached to its ear. A tag attached to the toy reads, "DSI TOYS, INC." and "MADE IN CHINA." The water in the kitten toy is intended to make it feel more lifelike.
Reported incidents
CPSC and DSI Toys had not received any reports of illness resulting from contacting contaminated water from these toys. This voluntary recall was conducted as a precaution.
