Summary

Toys "R" Us is recalling approximately 29,700 Bruin Infant Wiggle Balls (also known as giggle balls) because the rubber knobs and plastic back can break off. The firm has received six reports of these rubber knobs detaching, including four instances where children were found with pieces of the toy in their mouths. These blue balls feature textured bumps, orange, green, and yellow rubber knobs, and play music when activated by 3 AA batteries. They were sold at Babies "R" Us and Toys "R" Us stores nationwide between June 2016 and January 2017. Consumers should immediately stop using the toy and return it to any Babies "R" Us or Toys "R" Us location for a full refund.
