Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

The Land of Nod is recalling about 550 Octo-rattles sold individually and as part of a gift bag set. The yellow knit fabric octopus rattles feature multi-colored felt discs sewn into the tentacles which can detach, posing a choking risk to young children. The company has received five reports of these fabric discs detaching, though no injuries have been reported. These rattles were sold at The Land of Nod stores and online between September 2015 and April 2016 for approximately $30 individually or $150 in a set. Consumers should return the product to receive a full refund.

Risk

The multi-colored felt discs attached to the octopus tentacles can pull off the rattle. If a young child swallows or inhales these small detached discs, it can cause them to choke.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your rattle for a label on the underside featuring the name 'The Land of Nod,' 'Morton Grove, IL 60053,' SKU number 502882, and 'Made in India.'
  2. Confirm the product is a yellow knit octopus about 9 inches tall with multi-colored felt discs on the tentacles.
  3. Immediately take the recalled octopus rattle away from children and stop using it.
