Pacifier and teether recall questions

How many pacifiers & teethers have been recalled?

As of October 1, 2026, CPSC has published 109 recall notices for pacifiers & teethers since 1976, covering at least 11 million units. The most recent is “SHEIN Distribution Corporation Recalls Pull and Chew Montessori Teething Toys Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Choking Hazard; Violate Mandatory Standard for Toys” (CPSC 26-782), announced September 17, 2026.

Are there any pacifier and teether recalls in 2026?

Yes. As of October 1, 2026, CPSC has published 12 recall notices for pacifiers & teethers in 2026, the most recent on September 17, 2026 (CPSC 26-782).

What is the largest pacifier and teether recall?

“Epoch Everlasting Play Recalls All Calico Critters Animal Figures and Sets Sold with Bottle and Pacifier Accessories, More than 3.2 Million, Due to Choking Hazard; Two Deaths Reported” (CPSC 23-150), announced March 9, 2023: about 3.2 million units.

Which brands have recalled pacifiers & teethers?

Brands named most often: Gerber (3), Target (3), Evenflo (2), Infantino (2), La Cibeles (2), Munchkin (2), Playtex Products (2) and Prestige Toy (2), plus 90 more brands. Brand-name products are often made by another firm, so one recall can span several brands.

How do I check if my pacifier and teether is recalled?

Find the model number on the product's rating label, then type it into the model-number lookup on this page. A match means the number appears in an official CPSC notice; open that notice to confirm any date codes or serial ranges it lists. No match is not proof that a product is safe.

What should I do if my pacifier and teether is recalled?

Follow the remedy in the official notice and contact the firm it names. Across pacifier and teether recalls, the remedies offered most often are refund (22), replacement (13) and repair (1).
