Tiffer in response to your comment. I understand that you can't shield your children from everything but I would expect that when I buy my toddler a toy marked for Three and up I wouldn't hear adult conversations like that...and by the way the article didn't mention this but the toy didn't even do what it was supposed to do, Diego doesn't talk..all it does is pick up CB chatter. So yes I think a toy that doesn't do what it is advertised to do and also gives some "Jerry Springer" conversation should be recalled. I have bought walkie talkies for my older children many times and I have NEVER heard such things. I am just a mother who loves her son and wants to raise him properly so I don't think it's fair that you are arguing with that.

Doesn't it seem a little ridiculous to try to get them to recall the walkie talkie over this? I mean, come on.... we all had walkie talkies when we were growing up. I'm sure plenty of kids overheard things from people's cordless phones too. We can't protect our kids from everything. You could overhear a conversation like that at a restaurant for crying out loud.
