Wal-Mart Discontinues Fisher-Price Walkie Talkies

Fisher-Price has had a slew of recalls this year and perhaps they should add one more toy to the list. Deborah Pancaro of West Virginia contacted Fisher-Price after her three-year-old picked up a conversation that she believed to be between two truckers because they were saying stuff like 10-4.

What were the truckers talking about?

"They said we should go smoke some weed, and were talking about being in a strip bar, some really explicit things," Pancaro said Thursday.

Ms. Pancaro wasn't concerned about getting any money from Fisher Price. She just felt that the company should be aware that children might be able to hear things they shouldn't on the walkie talkies. Wal-Mart carried the radios exclusively and have since discontinued them.

So what's scarier for you: a) a three-year-old hearing truckers talk about sex and drugs or b) a trucker driving around smoking weed?
