Hi, I just wanted to alert parents about a toy that my 3yo son recently received as a birthday gift. It is the VTECH SmartTV toy that is really cute, however, at the backside of the toy on the bottom where 3 yellow barrels sit the door will open with just a push down on the clasp. This opens the battery compartment and it does not have screws to keep it closed as most toys do today. My son was not hurt but he did keep doing it and saying "to me what are these? " ref. to the batteries. I have taken the toy from him, fearing that his next step will be to see what the batteries can do! I have notified VTECH as well as the cpsc. I hope that this will prevent others from possible harm, Melanie
