Rainbow Bell baby rattles
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
TDT Company is voluntarily recalling two models of Rainbow Bell baby rattles due to choking hazards. The first model, item CT-8013, is a multi-colored plastic rattle with beads on one end and four bell-shaped noisemakers on the other, with approximately 115,200 units sold between July 1987 and January 1988 for $0.35 each. The second model, item R0088013, features three bulbs on flexible stems with metal bells inside, also with approximately 115,200 units sold during the same period for $0.35. Both rattles pose a risk because their handles are small enough to fit in a child's mouth and long enough to reach the back of the throat, and the metal bells can detach.
Neither the Consumer Product Safety Commission nor TDT Company has received reports of injuries from these rattles. According to the record, affected consumers should return the rattles to the retail store where they were purchased for a full refund of the purchase price.
