Which ones are recalled?

Baby Buzz’r is a round plastic baby toy with a face on the front, a red and blue “teethable ear” on each side, and a yellow circular mirror on the back. The Baby Buzz’r toy has three colored buttons (red, green, blue) on the top of the product. When the buttons are depressed, the toy vibrates, sounds music, or the eyes light up on the toy. Consumers can identify the recalled toys by squeezing the button covers on the top of the toy with pliers. Button covers on toys that are part of the recall can be squeezed out of shape, and button covers on toys not included in the recall can not be squeezed out of shape with pliers. Baby Buzz’r toys currently being sold are not included in this recall.
