Plain-English summary

Mini Togs, Inc. is voluntarily recalling certain spin rattles distributed with its Baby Bib #200. The hazardous rattles feature a center part in the shape of a bear face, butterfly, bell, or train engine. Infants can break these rattles during use, exposing small parts that present choking, aspiration, or ingestion hazards.

According to the company, 60,000 sets of these recalled baby bibs with rattles were distributed nationwide through J.C. Penney retail stores since January 1988. The product sold at retail for about $2.25. Rattles with a sunflower or horse-shaped center part, as well as those distributed with Bib #200A, are not being recalled.

While no known choking incidents have been reported to date, the company is recalling the rattles to prevent the possibility of such accidents. Consumers who have the recalled rattles should immediately take them back to the retailer from whom they were obtained. A bounty of $1.00 will be paid for each hazardous rattle returned. Consumers also have the option of returning the rattles directly to the firm for a replacement. For more information, consumers may contact the firm directly by calling "Lisa" at (318) 388-4916.
