Fisher Price walkie talkie picks up conversation about strip clubs

I don't know of any 3 year old who would hold and listen to long enough a conversation about topics they really didn't understand. I'm sure the parents or possibly an older sibling realized what was going on. To demand a recall on the whole line is rediculous. Every once in a while, these things happen on phone lines or even the walkie talkies. If they have channels, just change to another one. They all do this if you're on a channel that might pick up other conversations.

I think parents need to hold themselves liable for not monitoring the use, and removing them when the interferring conversation was first picked up. The baby monitors have had similar problems, any device that uses airwaves needs to be monitored...not depend on manufacturers to control the use of the walkie talkies.

People also have CBs in there home and cars/trucks, so it is possible it wasn't actually a trucker on the highway she overheard!! Still, if you are gonna make a big stink about a recall and such, then perhaps being able to be contacted would help? Or is that just me?
I also looked on the Fisher Price site, and Wal-mart, and don't see these walkie talkies!! Perhaps I am blind?! I was looking for an age range to comment here, but I found NADA!

As the mother of a 3 year old, she has the right to control what her child hears. It doesn't make her a prude, simply a concerned parent. There are parents that don't what their children, expecially the 3 year olds, thinking gutter talk is desirable or normal.

Foul language reflects the inability of the user to properly use the English language. Non-foul talkers have rights, too.

We don't really have to accept the lowering of standards. This stuff was once reserved for the gym and back alley bars.

Apparently the mother didn't realize the walkie talkie could pick up conversations like that. Maybe she won't let him play with them now.

this is so stupid. i had walkie talkies when i was a kid and they always picked things up as a matter of fact my oldest who just turned 16 last year was playing with them with his friends and they got into an argument with a stranger at the other end whos interference was transmitting through.
who cares? yes the children shouldnt hear those things but i agree with some of the people on here that there should just be a warning put on the box saying they can pickup intereference or broadcasts from other sources. this is why Ham radios were supposidly outlawed i remember them cutting through on our television drove my dad nuts.

No they should not have to recall them. This is not a safety issue due to a defect. Maybe the children will just have to give them up. I have walkie-talkies for my grandkids & if this happened to them, I would just take them away, not blame the company who made them!

Most likely the truckers have added 'heat' to their radios for transmitting. They are in violation of the FCC rules.
The toy is low power and has limited range.

It's really not that big a deal. Out of the billions made, QA specialists only open one box to see if one item is living up to its standards. Mom just happen to get a "glitch" in the one she purchased. I cannot see discontinuing the whole demand for the product. Somebody was just a sleep at the switch at the factory to which the walkie-talkies were made from Crap happens!
Mom got her fifteen minutes of fame Yipee!.

Come on! Look for real problems in the world. Kids hear worse than this on TV - and don't tell me you can control it, because you certainly can't control the commercials. If you are unhappy with them, take them back.

By the way, this is a Fisher Price issue. What has Wal-Mart got to do with it?

Hey Mom! Ever listen to what is on televison right now or in the movies?? Even radio stations and rock music??

I don't think parents should have to be concerned about such things. They have enough to do just taking good care of their kids. Truckers, on the other hand, are adults and surely must understand that their conversations are not private--at least, they apparently are not, and I'm sure I've been told that cell phone conversations are not. They should speak as if their mothers were listening!

This wet virginia moma probably says things twice a bad as the truckers when her baby daddy come home.

Pull the toy? I don't think so. Fisher Price should place a disclaimer/warning on the packaging. Nothing more.

Just don't buy the walkie talkies. These are radio transmitters and receivers. They will pick up random conversations, and how does she know they where 200+ miles away maybe a truck was near by with a amped up transmitter. Is everyone too dam dumb not to turn them off. Oh I have to go save the world from everything that I don't think is right and punish everyone else at the same time. GROW UP LADY. If you don't like it take them back Duh

that was unnescessary. don't put all christians in a prude box because of the uproar some christians cause. that's like saying all muslims are bad because of the actions of others. they have no control over what others in their religion do.

for all we know, she's an overprotective atheist. ever think of that?

uhh, aren't CB users supposed to watch their language/content? or am I old?
I agree with the person who said the Mom needs more to do. If they make the toy unable to pickup from that far, they won't work, and walkie talkies are pretty fun toys!
