Jade Express Recalls Hello Baby Rattle Sets Due to Choking Hazard

Plain-English summary

Jade Express Inc. of Los Angeles, Calif., is voluntarily recalling about 40,000 Hello Baby Rattle Sets in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall involves two styles of rattle sets: sets of three (item number AEA 1013) and sets of six (item number AEA 1016). The products were packaged in cardboard cartons labeled in part, "*** BABY RATTLE SET *** Hello Baby ***."

The hazard is that the rattles can break apart, releasing small parts that present a potential choking hazard to young children. The three-rattle sets include red, yellow, blue, or green plastic rattles shaped like a telephone, a trumpet, and a cage with a ball. The six-rattle sets also contain rattles shaped like a horse, a bear, and a large key ring.

These rattle sets were sold nationwide in convenience stores and flea markets from September 1995 to January 1996. The three-rattle sets sold for about $2.50 and the six-rattle sets sold for about $4. CPSC and Jade Express are not aware of any injuries involving these rattles. The firm is out of business and cannot be contacted.

Consumers should take these rattles away from young children immediately and discard or destroy them.
