Plain-English summary

Everlast Industrial Company of New York is recalling its imported Baby Rattle with Whistle due to a choking hazard. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) identified that the rattle's handle is small enough to enter a child's mouth and long enough to reach the back of the throat. Additionally, a metal bell can separate from the top of the rattle and be ingested by a young child.

The recalled rattle is made of multi-colored plastic with a beaded handle and a circle of four bell-shaped noisemakers. The end of the handle features a whistle. The packaging is marked "Made in China" and "Baby Rattle with Whistle." The product was identified at the port of New York during a cooperative safety check between the CPSC and the U.S. Customs Service.

Parents should immediately take the rattle away from infants. Consumers can return the product to the retail store where it was purchased or send it to Everlast Industrial Company (U.S.A.) Ltd. at 519 Eighth Avenue Lobby, New York, N.Y. 10018 for a full refund.
