Rattles recalled for fear of choking hazard

Infantino LLC has recalled about 2,000 Lamb Grabby infant rattles because the tail pieces could detach and cause a choking hazard.
Only rattles with date code 0907 printed on the back of the left ear of the lamb-shaped toy have been recalled, U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission said.
The company has received eight reports of the tails coming off, but no injuries have been reported.
The lamb-shaped rattles were sold in Wal-Mart, Babies “R” Us and other stores across the U.S. between September 2007 and February 2008 for between $3 US and $4 US.
Consumers can contact Infantino toll-free at (888) 808-3111 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. PT to get a replacement rattle or product of equal value.
