The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Easy Aces, have announced a voluntary recall of about 56,000 “Buff Baby” baby rattles because the rattle’s end cap can separate, releasing small parts, posing a choking hazard to small children.
This recall involves the ”Buff Baby” baby rattle. The gray plastic rattle is shaped like a dumbbell and has plastic pellets inside. The rattle measures about 5.5-inches long and 2-inches wide and “0.2” is embossed on both pentagon-shaped ends of the rattle. The rattles were packaged in clear cylindrical packages featuring a picture of a young girl lifting the rattle. The UPC code 728987019098 can be found on the bottom of the package.
Fred & Friends has received two reports of rattle caps separating. No injuries have been reported.
