The vinyl Zapper toys are about 2 to 3 inches long, and come in the shape of various animals, including frogs, dinosaurs and snakes. When the toy is squeezed, the balloon tongue attached to its mouth inflates or rolls out. "CHINA" or "MADE IN CHINA" is molded into the toy.

事故与伤害 Incidents / Injuries

• The Promotional Resources Group of Companies Inc., of Topeka, Kan., previously recalled about 105,000 Bug Zapper toys on June 6, 2000. That company received 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.

官方补救措施 Remedy

• Consumers should immediately take these toys away from young children and return the toys to the place of purchase, for a refund, or throw them away.
