This review is from: Strawberry Shortcake Pocketbook Boombox (Toy)

I bought this for my 6 year old even though it's recommended for ages 8 and up. She has had it for almost a year and it's still working! However, I have emphasized that she keep it in her room, so she hasn't carried it around much. The sound quality is fine for a youngster and she learned quickly how to change the CDs, which is front-loading. She has used it a lot and I feel that it has helped her learn how to relax in her room sometimes instead of follow me around asking what she can do! (Probably sounds familiar to lots of moms.) I would recommend this as a first real CD player.

1.0 out of 5 stars toxic, November 18, 2005

This review is from: Strawberry Shortcake Pocketbook Boombox (Toy)

Affixed to the electrical cord is a label that says that the cord is coated with a material that is toxic and also causes reproductive harm. Too bad the cord wasn't made with an adapter - it is built into the machine. Guess you could just put batteries in it and not use the electrical cord at all but still you would have to wash your hands everytime you touched it. Why do people make toxic toys?
Also there isn't a headphone jack.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cute, but TOXIC cord that reads to WASH HANDS after handling, February 2, 2006

THis is a very cute CD player, but after I read the "toxic" waring on the electrical cord to wash your hands after handling and that it can cause reproductive harm--we returned ours. I don't understand why they would make such a product for children to use???
