Summary

BRIO is recalling approximately 1,500 soft hammer baby rattles because the wooden rings on the handle can crack, releasing small parts. The company has received seven reports of the wooden rings cracking, although no injuries have been reported. These five-inch long rattles feature a wooden handle, a white plastic teething ring, and a colorful hammer head in red, yellow, white, and green. Consumers should immediately stop using the rattles and contact BRIO for a full refund or a replacement product of similar value.
