SAFETY WARNING: ASDA Play & Learn Baby's Phone!

Options
I bought 2 ASDA Play & Learn Baby Phones as Xmas pressies and thought I was getting a bargain. It is like a toy mobile phone that has buttons and a light-up mirror for a screen. The box states it as suitable for 6 months plus so thought it was more than OK for my 8 month old son to play with. He is at that age where everything he holds just goes straight in his mouth and I didn't really see a problem with him putting this toy in there. BIG MISTAKE! He actually managed to lick the paint off the mirror! I then wiped the screen with a baby wipe, and sure enough, the rest of the paint came off too! I don't know if it was a bad batch or all of them are the same but if you have one please don't give it to your child until you are sure it is safe!
