Fisher-Price Kiddie Camera Comes With Fun And A Computer Virus

Saturday, January 3. 2009

Just wanted to let y'all know about an experience we had this Christmas. My 5-year-old received a "Kid-Tough Digital Camera" by Fisher-Price as a present from a relative. I let her play with it and take 50 or so pictures (yow!). When I hooked the camera up to my XP PC via the included USB cable, my anti-virus software instantly announced it had protected me from a virus. Good for me! I carefully formatted the built-in memory stick on the camera.

I checked Fisher-Price's website for recall info, but there was none. I also searched the Mattel service website with the keyword "virus" and got some hits for MegaMan games but nothing else. Sadly, there is NO electronic method for submitting any feedback on their website! If you have any sort of product issue you need to call an 800 number. I just called it today and was told they couldn't answer my call right now due to high volume and disconnected me. Yep, I wasn't even given the option to wait in a queue.
