I find this absolutely beautiful rattle (that's why I bought it despite the opinion). The sound is quiet and pretty. I do not understand bad reviews. The finishes are perfect, the wood is very smooth, no risk of injury. Yes rattle deforms as it is for that, it is a malleable toy, like so many others. Pearls are a hard wire (not elastic). As for the baby who had a blue, all thrown object can cause a hematoma, the rattle is no exception.
