Sassy and Carter's-branded Hug N’ Tug baby toys, including about 45,300 units, are being recalled because the clear plastic sphere in the center of the toy can break and release small rattle beads. There have been 12 reports of these beads being released from the Sassy-branded toys, which creates a serious choking risk for infants. The toys are about 12 inches tall, made of multi-colored fabrics, and feature the face of a puppy or monkey. Sassy has provided instructions for consumers to receive a free replacement toy.
Small rattle beads inside the toy's clear plastic body can be released if the sphere breaks, posing a choking hazard to young children who may ingest the small parts. Twelve incidents of beads being released have already been reported.
Consumers should immediately take the toys from children and contact Sassy for instructions on how to return the product for a free replacement toy.
