What happened

Sanitoy Inc. is recalling approximately 21,200 Rolling Ball Rattle-Teethers (Model No. 520-Z and Model No. 520-E) due to a choking hazard. The flower-shaped rattle, which features blue turning petals, a rotating pink center, a yellow base and handle, and a turquoise rubber teething ring, is 6.5 inches long. The flexible rubber ring at the base of the handle can allow the rattle handle to fit down a child's throat, creating a potential choking risk. The product was distributed nationally between April 1994 and December 1994 and sold for $1.99 at retailers including Baby's Mart, Caldors, Bradlees, Target, and other stores.

Although no complaints or injuries have been reported, Sanitoy initiated this voluntary recall as a preventive measure after the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection reported the potential hazard to the CPSC. Affected consumers should take the rattle away from children immediately and return it to the store where it was purchased for a full refund.
