Confirm these details on the official CPSC noticeWhy it was recalled
The pacifiers are banned under federal law. They failed federal safety tests when the nipples separated from the base. This poses a choking hazard to young children.
Incidents and injuries
CPSC has received one report of a 6-month-old child who was found gagging on the nipple that had separated from the pacifier. The child was not injured.
Official remedy
Consumers should discard the pacifiers and contact the firm for instructions on how to obtain a refund or replacement product.
