"Royal" Baby Rattles Recalled By Importer
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Full House Manufacturer, Inc., of New York, is voluntarily recalling some 1,440 "Royal" brand super chime rattles because the handles present a choking hazard to infants.
The cylinder-shaped rattle is multicolored, about seven inches long, and comes with a ring attached to the handle. The rattle is labeled "Kate Production 1982 Royal." Rattles were sold nationally in discount stores in a blister package labeled "ROYAL MADE IN TAIWAN, ROYAL BABY TOY NO. 2012 TTH" for about $3.00 each.
Consumers should take the rattles away from children and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is still interested in receiving incident or injury reports that are either directly related to this product recall or involve a different hazard with the same product. Please tell us about your experience with the product on SaferProducts.gov
CPSC is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of the thousands of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $900 billion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household chemicals - contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 30 years.
Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly-announced voluntary recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the Commission.
