What happened

Coynes, Inc. is recalling approximately 7,000 musical cordless toy telephones called "Cordless Phone Organ" that were sold nationwide between June 1991 and January 1993. The toy telephones present a choking hazard because the antenna can separate from the phone's body, and buttons can be removed and placed in a child's mouth. The toys are blue or pink, measure about five inches long, and have a two-inch black antenna with keys that play musical notes when pressed. No injuries have been reported, but the company is recalling the product to prevent potential harm.

Consumers who own a recalled toy telephone should immediately take it away from young children and return it to the store where it was purchased for a full refund. For more information, consumers may call Coynes, Inc. at 1-800-336-8666 or write to the company at 7400 Boone Ave. North, Minneapolis, MN 55428.
