HAZARD: POTENTIAL FOR BURN, CHOKING AND IMPACT INJURY!

W.A.T.C.H. OUT! This electronic key ring is marketed to children as young as 2 years old with "real metal keys", and a key ring compartment containing 2 AA batteries. There are myriad hazards associated with this toy which is sold for oral age children, which are not even identified by the manufacturer. These include the potential for impact wounds that can be caused by the unforgiving rigid, metal keys, and the ingestion hazard posed by these keys, which are removable from the key ring. The batteries also constitute easily ingestible small parts, in addition to the only hazard mentioned on a package insert regarding "battery leakage".
