Manhattan Group Recalls Whoozit Touch and Teethe Teething Toys

Plain-English summary

Manhattan Group LLC is recalling approximately 22,000 Whoozit® Touch and Teethe™ teething toys. The recall was initiated because the toys can pull apart easily, exposing small pieces that pose choking and aspiration hazards to young children. The company has received four reports of the teethers coming apart, though no injuries have been reported.

The recalled toys are identified by item number WZ-450 on the packaging. They feature a 3-inch center face with a red squeaking nose, a mirror on the reverse side, and seven surrounding shapes: two hearts, two stars, two circles, and one triangle. The green triangle on the toy reads "Touch and Teethe," "Whoozit," and "Made in China."

These toys were sold at specialty stores and gift shops from February 2000 through May 2000 for about $12. Consumers should take the toys away from young children immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a refund or exchange. For more information, consumers can contact Manhattan Group at (800) 541-1345 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday.
