Plain-English summary

Cutoy Cooperative Association, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is voluntarily recalling the #CT569 Baseball Bat Squeeze Toy. The CPSC believes the toy may cause choking or suffocation because the handle is small enough to lodge in an infant's throat and obstruct the airway. Although no choking incidents have been reported involving this specific toy, the CPSC notes that the item is similar in shape and size to products that have been involved in such incidents.

The recalled toy is a baseball bat-shaped squeeze toy made of soft, easily compressed material with a face on the batting end. It is packaged with a label reading "GROW TIME SQUEEZE and SQUEAK, Item #CT569" and is available in several colors, including green, yellow, and red. The toy features a bulbous handle 1 1/16 inches in diameter and is 7 3/4 inches long. Cutoy Cooperative Association distributed fewer than 300 units of this toy nationwide in the last two years.
