CPSC, KB Gear Announce Recall of Computer Mouse Sets
Little Tikes Co., of Hudson, Ohio
Hazard
The mouse ball can separate from the mouse and pose a choking hazard to young children.
Remedy
The Cozy Coupe Computer Mouse was distributed by KB Gear under license from Little Tikes Co., of Hudson, Ohio. KB Gear liquidated and as of Nov. 1, 2001, is no longer in business. As a result, the company is unable to provide consumers with a remedy. To encourage consumers to destroy the computer mouse and as a gesture of goodwill, Little Tikes is offering an equivalent $10 Little Tikes toy to consumers who return the retaining ring from the bottom of the mouse.
Sold at
Internet retailers, toy, electronics and discount stores nationwide sold these computer mouse sets, from September 1999 to August 2001, for between $5 and $20.
Affected count
About 49,000
Injuries reported
CPSC received a report of a 2-year-old girl, who placed the mouse ball in her mouth. Her parents were able to take the ball away from the girl before she was injured.
