Plain-English summary

Reed and Barton Corp. is recalling Gingham Bunny forks and spoons for babies due to choking and ingestion hazards. The recall involves infant flatware from the Gingham Bunny Flatware Collection, which was sold as a single infant feeding spoon, a fork and spoon set, or a three-piece set including a bowl and bib. The flatware is silver-colored, nickel-plated, and features a bunny with pink coloring on its ears at the end of the handle.

The hazard exists because the pink coloring on the bunny's ears can come off, which poses choking and ingestion risks to babies. Reed and Barton has received one report of the pink coloring coming off the flatware, but no injuries were reported. About 4,000 units were sold at Reed and Barton factory stores, various gift shops nationwide, and online from September 2012 through January 2013 for between $15 and $40.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled flatware away from infants and contact Reed and Barton for a full refund or free replacement flatware. The product was manufactured by Winkuan Metals Technology Co. Ltd. of China.
