Recall Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. - CPSC, Zoll Woodworks of Wurtsboro, N.Y., is recalling 1,993 wooden rattles. The rattle handle may present a choking hazard for young children.
The rattles are constructed of wood in varying shades of dark brown to near white. The Fudge Pop rattle resembles a chocolate coated vanilla ice cream bar. Near the top of the Fudge Pop rattle is a bite indentation revealing the "vanilla ice cream" inside. The rattle is 7.75 inches long and 2 inches wide and is glued into a 3.5-inch wood handle. The Lolly Pop measures 3 inches in diameter and is glued to a 4-inch wood handle. Both the Fudge Pop and Lolly Pop rattles have a 1.25-inch wooden ball glued to the end of the handle.
Zoll Woodworks distributed the recalled rattles nationwide from February 1994 through January 1995. The rattles were sold for about $14.00 at art and craft galleries, museums, and gift shops including the Smithsonian Museum Shop and An American Craftsman.
Although no complaints or injuries have been reported to Zoll, the company is taking this action as a preventive measure.
Consumers should take the rattles away from children immediately and return the rattle to the store where it was purchased for a full refund. Consumers can call Zoll at (845) 888-5841 for more information.

The speaker’s lithium-ion battery can overheat and catch fire, posing burn and fire hazards to consumers.
The recalled baby nests violate the safety requirements of CPSC’s Safety Standard for Infant Sleep Products, posing a suffocation risk and fall and entrapment hazards to infants. The failures include not having a stand and not meeting the requirements for side height, sleeping pad thickness, and fabric-sided openings. The product’s sides are shorter than the minimum side height limit; the sleeping pad’s thickness exceeds the maximum limit; and an infant could fall out of an enclosed opening at the foot of the lounger or become entrapped.
Additionally, the baby nest designs with head pillows violate the Safe Sleep for Babies Act of 2021’s ban on inclined sleepers for infants because their sleep surfaces are inclined greater than ten degrees. Infant fatalities have occurred in inclined sleepers, after the infants rolled from their back to their stomach or side while unrestrained, or under other circumstances.
Infants can suffocate if they roll or move on the crib bumper in a position that obstructs breathing. Padded crib bumpers are banned under the Safe Sleep for Babies Act of 2021.
The recalled children’s pajamas violate the flammability regulations for children’s sleepwear, posing a risk of burn injuries to children.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury or death associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products has contributed to a decline in the rate of injuries associated with consumer products over the past 50 years.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
