Recall Summary A portable electronic toy with a virtual pet game (similar to tamagotchi) featuring a color screen and three buttons is being recalled in France. The battery compartment screw is not captive, meaning it can be lost easily, and the cover can then be removed without tools, allowing children to access and potentially swallow the batteries, which could release harmful electrolyte and damage their digestive system. The toy does not meet European toy safety standards.
