West Music Co. is recalling about 5,500 transparent toy egg shakers. The end cap can detach from the egg shaker and allow the small beads to spill out, posing choking/aspiration hazards to young children.
This recall involves clear, plastic egg-shaped instruments with various color beads inside. The beads inside the shaker instrument come in five colors: red, white, green, dark blue and aqua. Basic Beat and Jumbo Egg Crystal is printed on a label attached to the plastic bag packaging. Model numbers BB5102 and 202212 are printed on the side of the label.
The eggs were sold at West Music stores in Iowa and Illinois, West Music catalog, www.westmusic.com and at West Music exhibit booths nationwide from October 2006 through December 2007 for about $2. They were made in China.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled egg shakers from young children and contact West Music for a free replacement product.
Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact West Music at (800) 397-9378 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. CT Monday through Friday.
The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
