I have a big Wiggly-Giggly ball too but guess I didn't read any warnings. But when tatsxxx11 reported deaths from the ball, from the toxic zinc coated noise makers inside, I decided it's a gonner, expensive or not.

My guys favorite toys are sterilized bones and fleece formed in any shape. I leave the squeeker in until the first washing. Then a quick fix makes it safe. Big ropes are fun too and they race around the house "tied" together, knocking things over in their struggle to hold on. I used to get the squeeky rubber balls and toys, but 11 mo old Moses makes a meal of them fast. Such pretty colored bits in his poop. The couple that are left are supervised play only. I get a lot of their toys from a second-hand store here called Savers. Baby stuffed items are really sturdy and last. They sometimes have fleece toys and usually lots of tennis balls. Too many toys, never.
