The Manhattan Group is recalling about 7,000 'Tumble Tower' infant rattles. The blue plastic end caps of the rattle can break, resulting in small parts, posing a choking hazard to young children.
Manhattan Group has received two reports of the blue plastic end caps breaking. No injuries have been reported.
The recalled Tumble Tower baby rattle is 5 inches long and made of clear plastic with blue end cap pieces. The two clear handles feature colorful beads inside and brightly colored rings on the outside. A blue face spins on a purple post inside the rattle center when it is turned.
The rattles were sold at gift and specialty stores nationwide, mail order catalogs, and the Internet from September 2007 through April 2008 for about $15. They were made in China.
Consumers should take the toys away from young children and return them to the store where purchased for a refund or contact Manhattan Group to exchange the rattles for another toy.
