  1. Hurt, no treatment

    Made Jun 21, 2013, sent to the company Jul 1, 2013, published by CPSC Jul 23, 2013

    The product, in the report: This toy comes in multiple color patterns. It is a rattle with two ends, both will balls on the inside that rattle, and a double helix collecting the two. On the packaging, it is called “Bright Starts rattle & shake barbell”. It is about 5 inches long.

    My 5 month old was playing with a Bright Starts Shake And Rattle Barbell, and he was able to shove one end of it into his mouth to where he couldn’t get it out and could not breathe. Even I had a hard time getting it out of his mouth, but I had to hurry in order to prevent him from further suffocation. Once I was able to get it out, it had left a small cut on the inside of my son’s lip. He was also VERY upset for quite some time. If I hadn’t been just feet away from him, this very easily could have killed him!
