Toys Distribution Inc. Rattles
The notice asks people to return it — see below for how.
What’s wrong
The recalled rattles can break into small parts, posing a choking hazard to young children and violating the federal safety requirements for rattles. In addition, the size of the handle on some of the rattles is small enough to enter an infant's mouth, lodge in the throat and cause a choking hazard or lead to bruises and lacerations.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Choking hazard from small parts.
