The rattle handle may present a choking hazard for young children.The flower-shaped rattle has blue turning petals and a round, rotating pink center. The base and handle of the rattle are yellow. The turquiose, rubber teething ring at the base of the handle also moves. The rubber ring is flexible enough to allow the rattle handle to fit down a child's throat. The rattle is 6.5 inches long and is sold in a cardboard blister package. A label on the package reads in part, "NURSERY NEEDS Rolling Ball Rattle-Teether, No. 520-Z [No.520-E]. . . SANITOY , INC. . . Made in China."Sanitoy distributed the recalled rattle nationally from April 1994 through December 1994. The rattle sold for $1.99 at retailers such as Baby's Mart, Caldors, Bradlees, Target, Pilgrim, Maxi Drug, Westside Pharmacy, and Tots Wear Company stores. Consumers should take the rattle away from children immediately and return the rattle to the store where it was purchased for a full refund. Although no complaints or injuries have been reported to Sanitoy or CPSC, the company is taking this action as a preventive measure.
