Recall on Hug N’ Tug Baby Toys

Friday, Apr. 26th 2013 10:38 AM

Although no injuries have been reported, Sassy, Inc., has received a dozen reports of the beads inside the clear plastic sphere on the body of the Hug ‘n Tug baby toys being released, which poses a potential choking hazard for small children.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), in cooperation with Sassy, Inc., of Kentwood, Michigan, is announcing the voluntary recall of more than 45,000 Hug n’ Tug Monkey and Puppy baby toys, branded either Sassy or Carter’s. The rattle beads inside the body of the toy can come out.

The Sassy(r)-branded toys have “Sassy(r)” written on the sewn-in label located on the back of the character’s head. The Carter’s(r)-branded toys have “Carter’s(r)” written in red on the blue plastic ring connected to the toy’s head and also the sewn-in label located on the back of the character’s head.
