On May 15, 2008, Manhattan Group LLC recalled about 7,000 Tumble Tower Infant Rattles because plastic ends on the recalled rattles can break, posing a choking hazard to young children. The company received two reports of blue plastic end caps breaking from the rattles, though no injuries have been reported.

The Manhattan Toy? baby rattle included in the recall is 5 inches long with two clear handles that have colorful beads inside and rings on the outside. It is made of clear plastic with blue end cap pieces, and a blue face spins on a purple post inside the center when the rattle is turned.

Gift stores and specialty stores nationwide, mail order catalogs and websites sold the recalled Manhattan Group LLC infant rattles from September 2007 through April 2008 for about $15.

Consumers who own a recalled Tumble Tower Infant Rattles should take them away from children and return them to the place of purchase for a refund.
