On March 31, 2022, PlayMonster recalled about 8,900 units of its Kid O Hudson Glow Rattles kids’ toy. The recall was due to a danger that the rattles’ legs may break off, posing a choking hazard for small children. In fact, the company has received three reports of the rattle legs breaking off, but no injuries have been reported as of now.

The toy is a motion-activated rattle that is shaped like a puppy which makes soft rattling sounds when shaken. The rattle is white with spots that can glow in red or green. The puppy’s legs are textured soft plastic in red (front) and green (back) for teething children. The measurements of the recalled rattles are between 4 inches long by 2 inches wide and 3.8 inches high. The battery cover on the puppy’s stomach includes the phrase “Kid O.”

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission states that consumers should immediately take the recalled rattles away from children, stop using them, and contact PlayMonster for instructions on receiving a $25 refund. PlayMonster will also provide consumers with a prepaid shipping label to return the recalled products.

The recalled rattles were sold at specialty stores nationwide and online at amazon.com, walmart.com, playmonster.com, and zulily.com from February 2018 through February 2022 for about $25.
