About 25,000 infant rattles (pictured below) are being recalled because the handle is small enough to fit into a child’s throat, posing a choking hazard and violating safety standards.
The multi-colored plastic rattles have a bell inside and are around 4 1/2 inches long. They were sold for around $4 at Mexican specialty craft stores across America from February 2001 through October 2011.
You can find the words “Made in Mexico” and “Lee Carter Company” printed on a tag on a purple plastic loop at the end of the rattle’s handle.
If you have one of these rattles, please take it away from your little one and return it to Lee Carter Co. for a refund or credit.
You can contact Lee Carter Co. collect at (415) 824-2004 anytime, or visit their website at www.leecartercompany.com
