Toys “R” Us has issued a recall for an infant toy due to choking hazard after receiving six reports of pieces breaking off, four of which reported they found the broken pieces in children's mouths.

This recall is for Bruin Infant Wiggle Ball toys also known as a giggle ball. The blue ball has textured bumps for gripping and has orange, green and yellow rubber knobs around the ball. The ball wiggles, vibrates and plays three different musical tunes. It has an on/off switch and requires 3 AA batteries to operate.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled balls, take them away from babies and return them to Babies “R” Us or Toys “R” Us for a full refund.

The recalled wiggle balls have model number 5F6342E and Toys “R” Us printed on the product.

About 29,700 Infant Wiggle Balls were sold nationwide between June 2016 and January 2017 for about $13.
