About 6,500 Basic Beat BB201 standard egg shakers were voluntarily recalled by West Music, in cooperation with the CPSC.
Manufacturer: Bongo Logic Development LTD, of Hong Kong
Manufactured in: China
Hazard: The outer "end cap" that is glued onto the top, smallest part of the egg can come off, posing a small part choking or aspiration hazard.
Incidents/Injuries: West Music has received three reports of ends popping off, with no injuries reported.
Description: These recalled egg-shaker toy instruments are plastic, egg-shaped instruments sold in five colors: yellow, green, blue, red and purple. The toy instruments are about the size of small eggs and have a "Basic Beat" label printed on the front of the product. The product is marked for children ages 3 years and older but West Music is concerned with the possibility of the egg being used by or near a younger child. The toy instruments have Lot Number 0E0212 located on the bottom of the roundest part of the egg.
Remedy: Consumers should immediately take the recalled egg shaker toy instruments away from young children and contact West Music for a free replacement product.
