The three-piece "Crib Pals Tiny Tinkers," SKN331244, included two other rattles, a carry-along clock and a dial-and-spin rattle, which do not pose choking hazards to infants; the combination set retailed for $10. Standing three-and-a-half inches high, the rattle copter is made of white, red and blue hard plastic. Clear plastic spheres are incorporated into the copter's body and tail sections, each sphere containing a spinning butterfly and duck in a liquid solution. "Royal Co. Ltd. Japan 198711 is imprinted on the bottom of the rattle copter. Consumers who bought the rattle copter singly or as part of the three-piece rattle set should take the rattle away from infants immediately and return the product to the nearest Toys R Us store for a refund of the full purchase price.
