Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Wal-Mart Stores are recalling Baby Connection Reef Rocker infant toys. The recall involves approximately 54,260 units of the floor toy, which is intended for children ages 3 months and above. The toy features a water-filled dome and four toy balls containing colorful sea creatures, with lights and music activated when shaken.

The recall is due to a choking hazard. The seam on the plastic balls can separate, releasing the small toy inside. This poses a choking risk to young children. No injuries have been reported in connection with this defect.

The toys were sold at Wal-Mart stores nationwide from May 2004 through January 2005 for between $8 and $10. Consumers should immediately take the toy away from small children and return it to their nearest Wal-Mart store for a full refund. For more information, consumers can call Wal-Mart at (800) 925-6278 between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit www.walmartstores.com.
