Plain-English summary

M. Ginsburg & Co. of Chicago, Illinois, is voluntarily recalling six dolls and five rattles sold in craft stores. The products were marketed as decorations but pose a choking hazard to infants and young children.

The recalled dolls include specific models such as the 3-1/2" Doll #5219 and 6-1/2" Baby Doll #5386. The hazard exists because the arms and/or heads of these dolls can be pulled off and choked on by a young child. The recalled rattles include plastic items like the Clothespin #6599 and Spoon #6600. These rattles are small enough to fit into an infant's mouth and long enough to reach the back of the throat, which can cause choking.

Consumers who purchased these dolls and rattles should immediately take them away from young children. They should return the items to the place of purchase for a full refund of the purchase price. For additional information, consumers may call M. Ginsburg & Co. at 1-800-621-3681.
