Recall alert: Rattles, sunglasses, toy xylophones
About 131,000 “Grabby” rattles are being recalled because the tail piece on the items can detach and pose a choking danger to babies. Ten people have reported the piece detaching; no injuries occurred, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The baby rattles, shaped like a lion or lamb and made in China, were sold at major retailers between May 2007 and September. Contact manufacturer Infantino LLC of San Diego for a replacement by calling (888) 808-3111 or visiting the firm’s Web site.
Children’s sunglasses imported from China by Axiom International of Montana may contain more lead paint than federal law allows. About 5,300 of the two-tone sunglasses, which have a spider web etched between the eyes, were sold from May 2007 through August.
Consumers can return them to the place of purchase for a refund. More info is available by calling Axiom at (800) 262-0599 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday or visiting its Web site.
About 500 rolling toy xylophones sold at Land of Nod stores have pegs that can break and pose a choking hazard. The Illinois company has received 22 reports of broken pegs, but no one has been injured. The toys, made in China, were sold from October 2007 through March.
Consumers can return the xylophones to the company for a credit of the purchase price and a $10 gift card. Contact Land of Nod at (800) 933-9904 or through its Web site.
