Baby cell phone being removed from French market

mymo_phone.jpg This really cute looking cell phone targeted to the 4 to 8 year-old crowd, called Baby Mo, is being removed from the French market, reports TopMobile.org (in French) due to pressure by consumer protection groups (APE and Priartem) because of the possible danger of radition on the brains of such young children.

The phone comes with earphones, is super resistant to shocks, has 4 ringtones and offers the option to memorise 5 cell phones numbers. And it has no text messaging functionality. Its a tought break for the Belgian company who makes the handset.
