RECALL

A California toy company has recalled 262 baby rattles with small parts it said could choke or cut young children.

Small World Toys recalled its yellow plastic Spinflower Rattles because the toy may break apart when dropped, "releasing small beads," the Consumer Product Safety Commission said in announcing the recall. In addition, the rattle's flower petals may also break off, producing sharp points.

The rattles, sold nationwide since January 1988, were packaged in a clear plastic carrying case with a label marked "Fischerform."

Both the commission and company said there had been no reports of injuries involving the product. Consumer may return the rattles to the store where purchased for a refund.
