Plain-English summary

Prestige Toy Corp. of New York, N.Y., is recalling approximately 1,500 Spinning Water Teethers. The recalled items are water-filled teethers that are bright green or blue and feature a green and blue plastic butterfly or turtle in the center that spins. The spinner contains small beads that produce a rattling sound. The products have Style #47447 (butterfly) and #47448 (turtle) written on the packaging.

The recall was initiated because the plastic spinner in the center of the teether can break, causing small beads to fall out. This poses a choking hazard to young children. Prestige Toy Corp. received one report from a consumer that the spinning component of one of these teethers broke apart, releasing two small beads. No injuries were reported.

The teethers were sold at Carter's Stores nationwide from March 2005 through April 2005 for about $5. Consumers should take these teethers away from young children and return the item to Prestige Toy Corp. for a full refund.
