No one hurt Made Mar 25, 2014, sent to the company Apr 4, 2014, published by CPSC Apr 18, 2014
The product, in the report: Garanimals plush hand rattle with blue polka dot handle and elephant on top. Dimensions 2X2X5 inches Here is the website: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Garanimals-Hand-Rattle-Assortment/31953286
I purchased a Garanimals hand rattle (the elephant) from Walmart (1200 N Main St Suffolk, VA) for my 5 month-old son a couple of weeks ago (I don’t have the receipt, so I can’t tell you the exact date). Tonight he was lying on his back holding the rattle in his mouth. I turned around to straighten up after his bath and when I turned back around, he had rolled over onto his tummy and was choking on it. The handle of the rattle is soft and was lodged in his throat, and he was turning purple. When I picked him up, the rattle did not come out on its own, I had to pull it out. I have been trying to get a contact for consumer affairs for Garanimals, but I don’t know how to reach them. I am going to contact Walmart, as well. I do not want any babies to lose their lives because of this toy! I take very good care of my son and am always watching him very closely, so it makes me nervous that there are moms and other care givers giving this toy to their babies.

First aid Made Apr 6, 2012, sent to the company Apr 13, 2012, published by CPSC May 4, 2012
The product, in the report: Garanimals pink hippo rattle. Approx 5 in tall. Pink plush. Bow is pink satin.
My six month old daughter was playing with her garanimals pink hippo rattle when the bow dettached and became lodged on the back of her toungue causing her to gag. I was driving at that time and she was in her car seat. I pulled over when I heard the gagging noises and was able to remove the object before it lodged in her throat and caused her to choke. This product needs to be removed from shelves as soon as possible before it causes an infant to die from choking.
