Canadian and U.S. health officials are advising consumers to stop allowing their children to use a brand of wooden rattle.
It’s called the Twirlla Wooden Rattle and is manufactured in Minneapolis, Minn., by Manhattan Group.
Authorities say the toy’s U-shaped parts can break, posing a choking hazard, but no incidents or injuries have been reported.
About 3,300 rattles were sold in the U.S. and 145 in Canada.
The rattle is about 15 centimetres long with a yellow ball at each end, two U-shaped pieces and an orange bead in the centre.
The rattles were sold at baby and gift and specialty stores and online at ManhattanToy.com from March 2011 through July 2011 for about $12.
