    Baby rattles recalled for possible choking hazards

    Consumer Reports News: September 02, 2011 11:23 AM

    The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Health Canada, and Manhattan Group LLC of Minneapolis today announced a recall of approximately 3,300 wooden baby rattles. Parts can break off the company's Twirlla Wooden Rattle and pose a choking hazard to infants and children.

    The painted wood rattle is approximately 6 inches long and has a yellow ball at each end along with two U-shaped pieces and an orange bead in the center. The moving parts make noise when they come together, but the U-shaped components can unintentionally snap off.

    The rattles were sold at baby and gift and specialty stores nationwide and online at ManhattanToy.com from March 2011 through July 2011, for about $12.

    No injuries associated with the flawed toy have been reported yet. But consumers should take the rattles away from children immediately and return them to the store where purchased to receive a full refund.

    For additional information, consumers should contact the Manhattan Group (toll-free: 800-541-1345, www.manhattantoy.com).
