More than 1 million toy key rings recalled

U.S. regulators have long worked to prevent manufacturing defects in children's toys from causing deaths and other health-related problems. According to a published report, regulators recently announced a certain toy product would be recalled following reports of choking hazards.

According to a report from Consumer Reports, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Health Canada and New York-based Battat Inc. announced the recall this week of more than 1 million toy keys with remotes. According to reports, the keys could become dislodged from the plastic ring, posing a choking hazard to young children.

The recall includes all B. FunKeys with factory code H58000-01 or H26300-01, along with Parents Magazine Electronic Keys with factory code H26300-01, according to the news provider.

The toys were sold at retailers and online sellers from April 2010 to May 2011, as well as from January 2006 to December 2009. Roughly 1.08 million of the toys were sold in the U.S., with an additional 3,600 purchased in Canada. 

While no injuries were reported, regulators received 17 reports of the keys breaking, and an additional 14 reports of the key rings breaking.
