WASHINGTON, Dec. 13 (UPI) -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of Toys Distribution Inc. rattles due to a choking hazard.
Toys Distribution of Los Angeles, Calif., imported the rattles from China. They were sold in Colorado and Texas from December 2009 through December 2010 for about $2.
About 50 sets of rattles are involved in the recall. The commission said the rattles can break into small pieces that pose a choking hazard. In addition, the handle of the rattles are small enough to become lodged in an infant's throat.
The rattles were sold in various colors and shapes, including a toy phone, animal, small buggy and sea horse.
They were sold in sets of five or eight rattles per box. "HANDBELL TOYS" is printed in the upper left corner of the package. "MADE IN CHINA" is printed on the bottom of the package.
One set has "JUNYI" printed on the front upper right corner of the package and "ITEM NO. 58083801" printed on the back lower corner on a white sticker. Another set has "XIN DA MEI" printed on the front upper right corner of the package and "ITEM NO. 308363" printed on the back lower corner on a white sticker, the commission said.
Consumers were advised to take the recalled rattles away from children and return them to the retailer for a full refund or replacement product.
Customers can call 323-266-8088 collect for more information.
