Hazard

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

Remedy

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.

Incidents & injuries

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.

Product description

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.

Sold on

Toy stores, doctor and dentist offices, and carnivals and circuses sold and distributed these toys, from August 1998 through March 2001. They were sold for about $1.
