Musical Shaker Instrument Recalled by Woodstock Percussion Due to Laceration and Choking Hazard
What was recalled
The shakers are plastic musical instruments, 5.5 inches long, with rounded, egg-shaped tops containing steel pellets and open circular handles. They come in blue and green and are sold separately. The marking "B4" is printed on the rounded top of each shaker.
Hazard
The handle can detach from the shaker, exposing a rough edge and posing a laceration hazard. The detached handle also exposes small steel pellets and a plastic plug which pose choking hazards.
Injuries
The company received one report from a consumer that the handles on two Gripper Shakers detached. No injuries have been reported.
