Cozy Coupe Computer Mouse sets

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

The Cozy Coupe Computer Mouse, distributed by KB Gear under license from Little Tikes Co., is being recalled because the mouse ball can separate from the mouse and pose a choking hazard to young children. The mouse is shaped like a toy car with a red plastic body and yellow roof, with a "Cool Car" license plate sticker on the back. The mouse set also includes two software packages: "Junior Net" and "Jump*Start Preschool."

Since KB Gear liquidated and ceased operations as of November 1, 2001, the company cannot provide a remedy. However, Little Tikes is offering an equivalent $10 Little Tikes toy to consumers who return the retaining ring from the bottom of the mouse as a gesture of goodwill. Affected consumers should return the retaining ring to Little Tikes to receive the replacement toy.
