West Music Recalls Egg-Shaker Toy Instruments Due to Choking and Aspiration Hazards

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

West Music is recalling about 6,500 Basic Beat BB201 standard egg shakers because the outer end cap glued to the top of the instrument can detach. These plastic, egg-shaped instruments were sold in yellow, green, blue, red, and purple and are about the size of a small egg. Although marked for children ages 3 and older, the manufacturer is concerned about younger children using the product. There have been three reports of the end caps popping off, though no injuries have been reported. Consumers should contact West Music for a free replacement.

Risk

The small end cap on the top of the egg can come off during use. If this happens, it becomes a small part that a young child could choke on or accidentally inhale.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your egg shaker for the 'Basic Beat' label printed on the front and look for Lot Number 0E0212 located on the bottom of the roundest part of the egg.
  2. Immediately take the recalled yellow, green, blue, red, or purple egg shakers away from children, especially young children.
  3. Contact West Music at (800) 397-9378 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or by email at service@music.com to receive a free replacement product.
  4. You can also visit www.westmusic.com and click on 'Help and FAQs' and then 'Recalls' for more information on receiving your replacement.
  5. Call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 for additional questions regarding this recall.
