Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Deb's Toys Inc. are voluntarily recalling approximately 24,400 "Rattlin Rocking Rings" plastic stacking toys, model number 63259. The toys consist of a yellow and blue rocking base with a central cone-shaped pole and six graduated doughnut-shaped rings. Three of these rings are made of clear plastic and contain multi-colored beads inside.

CPSC testing determined that the beads inside the clear rings can come out, creating a choking risk for young children. To date, neither Deb's Toys nor the CPSC has received reports of accidents or injuries associated with these toys. The recalled items were sold for $6.99 each from January 1993 through May 1994 at Toys 'R' Us and Small World stores nationwide.

Consumers can identify the recalled toy by the word "chicco" painted in blue on two sides of the base and the words "MADE IN CHINA" embossed underneath. The packaging also reads "chicco 'pronounced Kee-Ko' 8 pcs, 6-36m. . . . MADE IN CHINA FOR ARTSANA S.P.A. COMO-ITALY." Consumers should immediately take the toy away from young children and return it to the store where it was purchased for a refund. Note that the distributor, Deb's Toys Inc., is out of business and cannot be contacted.
