The recall was initiated by Walgreens after it was discovered that the rattle, which is said to be safe for children three months and older, could present a choking hazard. Walgreens recalled the rattles after receiving eight reports of the feet on the rattle’s Winnie the Pooh figure detaching. However, as of the recall date, there had been no reports of injuries related to use of the rattles.ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb While Walgreens had not received any reports of children being harmed by the recalled rattles, the company recommends that caregivers “immediately take the recalled rattle away from young children.” If you are in possession of the affected rattles, you can call Walgreens any time at 800-925-4733 or visit the “Contact Us” section of the Walgreens website for more information and to receive a full refund. Walgreens isn’t alone in having to pull their rattles from the market this year. On April 14, 2021, the CPSC announced the recall of approximately 18,000 Clip Clop Infant Activity Rattles sold at Walmart stores and on Walmart.com, also due to choking hazards. As is the case with the Walgreens recall, there were no reports of children being harmed by the products as of the recall date.
