PlayMonster has recalled its Kid O Hudson Glow Rattle, a motion-activated rattle shaped like a puppy that makes a soft rattling sound when shaken. The puppy is white with spots that can glow in red or green, and its legs are textured soft plastic for teething children.
The company received three reports of the rattle’s legs breaking off. This poses a choking hazard, but no injuries have been reported.
