Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Zoll Woodworks of Wurtsboro, N.Y., are recalling 1,993 wooden rattles. The recalled products include the "Fudge Pop" rattle, which resembles a chocolate-coated vanilla ice cream bar, and the "Lolly Pop" rattle. Both items are constructed of wood in varying shades of dark brown to near white and feature a wooden ball glued to the end of the handle.

The recall is being issued because the rattle handle may present a choking hazard for young children. Zoll Woodworks distributed these rattles nationwide from February 1994 through January 1995. The items were sold for approximately $14.00 at art and craft galleries, museums, and gift shops, including the Smithsonian Museum Shop and An American Craftsman.

Although no complaints or injuries have been reported to Zoll Woodworks, the company is taking this action as a preventive measure. Consumers should take the rattles away from children immediately and return the rattle to the store where it was purchased for a full refund. Consumers can call Zoll at (845) 888-5841 for more information.
