Teething Toy, Sold on Amazon, Recalled After Choking Reports
The CPSC said the toys violate safety standards and three choking or respiratory distress reports have been filed.
- The Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled about 70,410 GOPO TOYS Pull String Teething Toys sold on Amazon due to serious choking and respiratory distress risks to children.
- According to Thursday's notice, silicone strings on the toys are smaller and longer than permitted standards, allowing them to lodge in a child's throat and cause respiratory distress or choking.
- Identifiable by the brand name and "Pull String Toy" printed on packaging, the off-white disc features six pull string "tentacles" and seven soft push buttons, with batch numbers 250905, 250530, 250120, 240315, 231005 or 230610.
- Consumers should immediately stop using the toys and take them away from children, cutting the strings and marking the body "DESTROYED" with permanent marker before submitting a photograph to recalls@gopotoys.com.
- This action follows similar teething toy recalls by other companies earlier this year and last month; in May, The CPSC issued a separate recall for more than 100,000 children's teething toys for comparable choking risks.
