U.S.A." are embossed on the back.The company said its recalled holders have raised, multi-colored designs and letters on the front of the disc which read "I'm a 10," "I'M A BOY," or "Hot Stuff." Neither the company nor the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is aware of any injuries associated with the recalled pacifier holders.Re-designed pacifier holders manufactured and sold by the company since August 1988 have a smooth, flat decal with multi-colored pictures and messages on the front of the discs.Consumers having the older "Mother's Helper" pacifier holders should remove the holders from infants and toddlers, then return the product to the store for a full refund of the purchase price.
