Consumer Product Safety Commission - October 2 Plush Baby Rattle Recalled

On October 2, 2007, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a recall of plush baby rattles in the forms of a white baseball with red stitching, a brown football with white stitching, and an orange basketball with black stitching. The tag sewn into the rattle contains: "Reg. No. PA5706(CN) and was distributed by Double Nice Co Ltd. The recalled rattles can break open releasing the small beads inside, posing a choking hazard to young children.
