Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Manhattan Group is recalling about 8,300 Quixel baby rattles in the U.S. and an additional 4,100 in Canada because the plastic arches can break. When the arches break, they create small parts that pose a choking hazard to young children. The company has received four reports of these rattles breaking, though no injuries have been reported. These products were sold at specialty toy and baby stores and online at manhattantoy.com between September 2011 and October 2013.

Risk

The colored plastic arches on the rattle can snap or break during use, creating small plastic fragments. These small parts are a choking hazard for infants and small children who may put the broken pieces in their mouths.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the affected product by looking for a plastic rattle with four colored arches (red, orange, green, and blue) held together by a red, white, and blue elastic string.
  2. Check the arches of the rattle for the words 'Manhattan Toy' printed on one of them to confirm it is the recalled Quixel model.
  3. Immediately take the recalled rattle away from children and stop using it.
  4. Return the rattle to the store where it was originally purchased to receive a full refund.
  5. Contact Manhattan Group at 800-541-1345 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit www.manhattantoy.com and click on 'RECALLS' at the bottom of the page for more information.
