What's recalled

This recall involves the AiTuiTui Pull String Teething Toy. The teething toy is an off-white disc shape with either a red ball or blue ball in the middle and six long pull string "tentacles" of various colors running through the ball. There are also three free-spinning rings on one side and soft push buttons on the disc. "Model: 688-59" is printed on the product packaging.
