In March, 2008, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of about 20,000 Infantino Lamb Grabby Rattles due to a choking hazard. Now they have added an additional 131,000 rattles to the recall for the same reason. This recall involves the Lion and Lamb Grabby Rattles, which feature a tail piece that can detach and end up in the mouths of children. Infantino has received 10 reports of this happening, fortunately with no injuries resulting.

The recalled rattles are shaped like a lamb and a lion respectively and have a ring-shaped body and an Infantino elliptical logo stamped on the front right foot of the animal. Rattles without tails on animals and those with production codes of 0108 and 0508 are not included in this recall. You can find the production code printed behind the ear in a dial format with the year (08) in the middle of a circle and an arrow pointing to the number on the circle that indicates the month.

These were made in China for Infantino LLC, of San Diego, California and sold at Wal-Mart, Babies "R" Us and other specialty stores nationwide from May 2007 through September 2008 for between $3 and $4 each.

If you have one of the recalled rattles, you should immediately take it away from your child and contact Infantino for a replacement rattle or product of equal value. You can reach them by calling (888) 808-3111 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. PT Monday through Friday or by visiting their Web site.
