WASHINGTON, D.C. - Sassy, Inc. is recalling about 37,000 of its Refreshing Rings Infant Teethers/Rattles. Small pieces of the plastic ball can detach as a result of children chewing on the teether/rattle, and they can choke.

This recall involves Refreshing Rings infant teethers/rattles intended for babies ages three months and older. The product has a red, water-filled ring on one end and a black and white polka dot ball on the other end. The two ends of the rattles/teethers are connected by a black and white, flexible plastic rod with three floating rings. Style number 80026 is printed on the packaging.

The recalled products have been sold at mass merchandizers and baby specialty stores since 2009,

Consumers should immediately take the teethers/rattles from children and contact Sassy Inc. for instructions on how to return the product for a free replacement toy.
