About 18,900 Baby Gund Woodles activity toys are being recalled because they pose a choking hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced.
The company has received four reports of wooden rings on the plush toys breaking. No associated injuries have been reported.
The stuffed toy has a rattle inside the body and two wooden rings attached to each arm. The products involved in the recall are:
· Rumba Lion activity toy with style number 58553.
· Gazoo Giraffe activity toy with style number 58554.
· Wango Horse activity toy with style number 58555.
· Tippy Cow activity toy with style number 58556.
The toys were sold at specialty toy stores in Canada and the U.S. from June 2005 through April 2006.
Consumers should take the toys away from children and contact the company for a free replacement.
