The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a voluntary recall of about 144,000 plastic siren whistles manufactured in China and distributed by a U.S. restaurant chain.

Chuck E. Cheese's pizza restaurants distributed the whistles nationwide from July 2005 through August 2005. The company says consumers should stop using the recalled products immediately.

The recalled plastic siren whistle's internal pieces can detach from the toy, posing a choking hazard to children.

Chuck E. Cheese's has received four reports of children starting to choke and three reports of children swallowing pieces of the plastic siren whistle.

The recalled plastic siren whistle is a red, green or purple tube with small plastic pieces inside. The whistle is about 2-inches long and 3/4-inch wide. The toy whistles were distributed as prizes at Chuck E. Cheese's by redeeming 15 tickets earned by playing games.
