TAMPA -- You have probably heard of Tickle-Me-Elmo, but what about Death-Threat-Elmo?
That's what a Tampa-area boy now has.
James Bowman loves Elmo, and his mother thought getting him the high-tech toy, which hooks up to a computer to learn phrases and the child's name would be a great gift.
But when Melissa Bowman changed the batteries earlier this week, Elmo began making the threat.
"It's not something that really you would think would come out of a toy, but after I heard it, I was kind of distraught -- (It said) Kill James," Melissa Bowman said.
Right now, the toy is off limits because James has begun repeating what Elmo says.
Meanwhile, Fisher-Price, the maker of the toy, said it would give the Bowmans a voucher for a new doll and will investigate the problem.
