What happened

Five battery-operated toy mobile phones with flashing antennas have been recalled because they produce sound levels that are dangerously loud for children's ears. The phones, sold under brands including JIN HUA, Electronic - GOOD TIME, HAPPY ARIGINS, Novelty Phone, and Electronic, emit sound between 86.2 and 95.9 decibels when buttons are pressed. European safety standards require that toys designed to be held close to the ear must not exceed 80 decibels, and these products exceed that limit, violating toy safety requirements.

According to the recall record, authorities have ordered the compulsory withdrawal of these products from the market. The source does not specify what action affected consumers should take regarding products already purchased.
