Dollar Tree Stores Inc. is recalling about 147,600 "Toy Tunes" electronic musical toys.

The Chesapeake, Va.-based company says the ball on the end of the drumstick sold with these toys can break off during use, posing a choking hazard to young children.

No injuries have been reported. The recall includes two styles of battery-operated, electronic musical toys. The multi-colored toys come in the shape of a drum and a xylophone, and are sold with a drumstick for playing the musical toy.

The recalled toys were sold at Dollar Tree, Only $1, and Dollar Bills stores nationwide from March 2004 through January 2005 for $1.

Consumer should return the recalled toys to the store where purchased for a refund.

Consumers can call Dollar Tree Stores at (800) 876-8077 or visit the company's Web site for more recall information.
