TranslatedNovember 17, 1988 Release # 88-100 Toys-R-Us Recalls 8 Crib Rattles WASHINGTON - Toys-R-Us, Paramus, NJ, is voluntarily recalling eight "Crib Pals Rattles" because they failed to meet the mandatory standard for rattles and may pose a choking hazard to young children. Sold in Toy-R-Us stores nationwide, the recalled rattles include a "Kitty Cat Lion Rattle" and a set of seven "Playtime Pals" rattles. "Crib Pals # V-2402, Kitty Cat Lion Rattle - SKN23970" is a 3 1/2 inch round, yellow plastic face of a cat. A red pull handle is attached under the cat's chin; when the handle is pulled, a plastic mane pops out to transform the cat into a lion. "Made in Japan" is imprinted on the back of the rattle. The nose of the cat-lion may separate from the rattle and may pose a choking hazard to infants and toddlers. About 2,500 rattles were sold from October, 1987 to August, 1988 for $3.99 each. The set of seven rattles, packaged as "Crib Pals #RS-7, Playtime Pals - SKN234974", were sold for $16.99 from November, 1987 to July, 1988.

Two of the rattles, the Star Rattle and Musical Chime, failed the requirements for rattles and may pose a choking hazard. Approximately 13,000 sets were sold. Consumers having any of the rattles should immediately take them away from children and return them to the nearest Toys-R-Us store for a refund of the full purchase price.
