Product: Kitty Kitty Kittens stuffed toy kittens
Company: Discount, specialty, and toy stores nationwide sold the kitten toys from September 2000 through May 2001 for between $10 and $13.
Hazard: These toys contain contaminated water that, if contacted, could cause illness to children.
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.
Remedy: 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.
Incidents / Injuries: 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.
