What happened

Orion International Corporation is voluntarily recalling rattle-style bottle caps from "Para Mi Bebe" baby soap and cologne products sold between November 1987 and October 5, 1988. The plastic caps, which came in blue or pink with a gold band and contained small beads to create noise, pose a choking hazard because testing showed they could shatter and release small beads and plastic pieces. The affected products are Baby Cologne #30618, Baby Bath #30619, and Baby Set #30633, which were sold in New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Florida, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Washington, D.C. The Consumer Product Safety Commission and Orion International are not aware of any injuries related to these caps.

According to the recall notice, consumers should not allow infants to use the rattle bottle caps and should remove them from the products. The caps can be exchanged at the store of purchase for non-rattle replacement caps.
