Pieces of the wooden rattle can detach from the elastic cord attachment. These detached pieces pose a choking hazard if swallowed by an infant during normal use.

Who’s affected

Parents and caregivers who purchased Green Sprouts infant rattles at Whole Foods Market, Amazon.com, or other retailers between December 2014 and October 2018. Infants are the primary group at risk due to the choking hazard.

Look for a Green Sprouts brand flower rattle made from natural wood, measuring 2.5 inches long by 2.5 inches wide by 4 inches high. Check the circular handle for "Green Sprouts," "Made in Taiwan," and a date code number of either 14714 or 21815.
