What happened

M. Ginsburg & Co. of Chicago, Illinois is voluntarily recalling six dolls and five rattles due to choking hazards to infants and young children.

The six dolls include various sizes from 3.5 inches to 6.5 inches, with model numbers 5219, 5386, 5602, 5603, 5613, and 5406, because their arms and/or heads can be pulled off. The five rattles include a clothespin (#6599), spoon (#6600), safety pin (#6601), telephone receiver (#6638), and ball rattle (#6640), which are small enough to fit into an infant's mouth and long enough to reach the back of the throat.
