Infantino Lion and Lamb Grabby Rattle If you or anyone you know owns the Lion and Lamb Grabby rattles made by Infantino, please take them away from babies and children immediately. These ring-like rattles are of two types, shaped like a lion and a lamb. Look for the Infantino logo on the front right foot of the animal. If your rattle doesn't have a tail and the product code is 0108 and 0508, it's probably not affected by the recall. You can look for the product code behind the ear of the animal.

A little piece on the affected rattles, which forms the tail of the animals, can detach, posing a choking hazard. The recall has been issued after Infantino received 10 reports of the tail detaching. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.

These rattles were sold at various stores like Wal-Mart and Babies "R" Us from May 2007 through September 2008. If you have one of these rattles, you can contact Infantino for a replacement product of equal value. The toll free contact number is (888) 808-3111 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or you can visit Infantino's website.
