The Oakbrook, Illinois, company has received two reports of children
who coughed out pieces of the Hello Kitty Birthday Lollipop Whistles
they had sucked into their mouths, the commission said in a
statement. One of the children received medical attention.
Parts inside the whistle can come loose, it said. About 2.3 million
whistles were distributed in the United States and 200,000 in Canada
from October through the first week of November.
The whistles were part of the company's Happy Meals and Mighty Kids
Meals. They were made in China, the statement said.
