(CNN) -- Fisher-Price Inc. has issued a recall for about a quarter-million crib mobiles, warning that children could experience chemical burns if batteries in the toy leak.
The company, a subsidiary of toy maker Mattel Inc., said it has received 30 reports of acid leaking out of the battery compartment for the Sparkling Symphony mobiles. In six of the cases, babies suffered minor burns, the company said in a recall notice.
The toy mobiles, which have four star and moon characters, attach to a crib's side rail and play music and flash lights.
The model number, 71985, can be found in the lower arm of the mobile and in back of the toy's remote control. They were made from October 1999 through November 2000 and sold for about $25 at discount department stores and toy shops nationwide.
Fisher-Price is offering free repair kits containing a seal for the toy's battery compartment, which the company said should prevent leakage.
