TheKiddoSpace children's talking flashcard toys, sold on TheKiddoSpaceStore.com and Amazon, are recalled because they contain lead and phthalates above federal limits, which are toxic if ingested by young children. The toys also fail the short circuit protection requirement for battery-operated toys.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the recalled toys immediately, take them away from children and contact TheKiddoSpace for a free replacement toy or free USB cable, including shipping. - For the animal-shaped toy, consumers will be asked to write "RECALLED" in permanent marker on the unit and submit a photo of the marked product to info@thekiddospace.com to receive a replacement toy of at least equal value to the purchase price of the recalled animal-shaped toy. Consumers should then dispose of the recalled toys in accordance with their local waste disposal requirements. - For the rectangular toy, consumers will be asked to cut the USB cable and submit a photo of the cut USB cable to info@thekiddospace.com to receive a free replacement USB cable. Consumers should then dispose of the cut USB cable. Note: Button cell batteries are hazardous. Batteries should be disposed of or recycled by following local hazardous waste procedures.

Hazard

Lead and phthalates are toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues.
