The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada (HC) reports that Tiny Love Inc. is voluntarily recalling their Wind Chime Toys. Tiny Love Inc. is in New York City, while its distributor Maya Group Inc. is located in Huntington Beach, California.
There are approximately 600,000 Wind Chime Toys in the United States and an additional 200,000 in Canada. The CPSC sees these toys as potentially dangerous to children because when they are pulled apart, one side of the toy has sharp metal rods protruding from the base. They have already received five reports of infants managing to pull apart the toy. There has only been one reported case of a minor injury: a 24-month-old punctured his cheek while holding the rod-half of the toy.
There are seven different Wind Chime Toys that are being recalled:
Baby Wind Chime
Baby Wind Chime - Ocean
Tiny Smarts - Baby Bunny
Wind Chime - Louie
Wind Chime - Ella
Tiny Smart Gift Set: Only the Bunny Wind Chime that is inside of the gift set is affected by the recall.
Wind Chime - Duck: Only the Wind Chime -Duck that is inside of the Gymini Kick and Play Activity Gym is affected by the recall.
By removing the Wind Chime Toys from your child's room and calling Tiny Love Inc., you will receive a free toy in it's place. They can be reached at 1.888.791.8166 or by visiting their website at www.tinylove.com.
The Orange County Register adds that the Wind Chime Toys were sold to several chain stores since 2002 including Walmart, Toys R Us, and Target.
