I am selling this item because I no longer use it. The remote control has been tested and is working. I bought this around the time my child started showing interest in the TV at home. It makes various sounds. It uses two AAA batteries. Batteries will not be included. The "Shaka Shaka" picture book makes a rattling sound when touched. I don't think it's a People product. Used from about 5 months to 1 year old. The picture book will be washed, and the remote control will be disinfected before shipping. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned, as this is a toy for babies. Thank you.
