The hazard

The balloon tongues and the cylinders holding the tongues on these toys can detach, which poses choking and aspiration hazards to young children.

Incidents reported: There was a report of a 3-year-old boy who inhaled a balloon tongue that detached from a Zapper toy into his sinus cavity. He required medical treatment to remove the part from his nose.

What to do now

Consumers should immediately take these toys away from young children and take them back to where they were purchased for a refund, or throw them away.

Contact: If consumers have questions, call the firm at (800) 533-6273 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's web site at www.raymondgeddes.com. Consumers also can contact the firm by email at consumeraffairs@raymondgeddes.com

About this recall

The vinyl toys are about 2 to 3 inches long, and come in two different styles: a fish and lizard. When the toy is squeezed, the balloon tongue attached to its mouth inflates or rolls out. "MADE IN CHINA" is molded into the toy.
