A baby rattle, made in China and sold at Wal-Mart and other retailers, has been recalled today. It is just one more example of dangerous chinese products on the shelves of Wal-Mart. Here's the report from Consumer Affiars:
Infantino LLC is recalling about 2,000 'Lamb Grabby' rattles. The tail piece on the rattles can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children.
Infantino has received eight reports of the tail piece on the rattle detaching. No injuries have been reported.
The recalled Infantino Lamb Grabby Rattles™ are shaped like a lamb with an Infantino elliptical-shaped logo stamped on the front right foot of the lamb. Only rattles with date code 0907 printed on the back of the left ear of the lamb are included in the recall. The production batch code is printed in a dial format with the year in the middle of a circle and an arrow pointing to the number on the circle that indicates the month. Rattles that do not have a date code are not included in the recall.
The rattles were sold at Wal-Mart, Babies 'R' Us and other specialty stores nationwide from September 2007 through February 2008 for between $3 and $4. They were made in China.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled toys away from young children and contact Infantino for a replacement rattle or a product of equal value.
Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact Infantino toll-free at (888) 808-3111 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. PT or visit the firm's Web site at service.infantino.com.
The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
