Fred & Friends of Cumberland, R.I., is recalling nearly 57,000 “Buff Baby” baby rattles in the U.S. and Canada.
The rattle’s end cap can separate, releasing small parts -- posing a choking hazard to small children. The company has received two reports of rattle caps separating. No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves the ”Buff Baby” baby rattle. The gray plastic rattle is shaped like a dumbbell and has plastic pellets inside. The rattle measures about 5.5-inches long and 2-inches wide and “0.2” is embossed on both pentagon-shaped ends of the rattle. The rattles were packaged in clear cylindrical packages featuring a picture of a young girl lifting the rattle. The UPC code 728987019098 can be found on the bottom of the package.
The rattles, manufactured in China, were sold at specialty toy and baby stores in The U.S. and Canada, and online at various websites from October 2011, through June 2013, for between $7 and $10.
Consumers should immediately take these rattles away from young children and contact Fred & Friends to receive a full refund.
Consumers may contact Fred & Friends toll-free at (877) 647-8644 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or by email at Buffbabyrattle@fredandfriends.com.
