RECALL: Pacifiers May Come Apart and Be Swallowed

Parents, nannies and day care centers are being strongly urged by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to immediately stop using the “My Baby Soother” pacifiers made by T & L Trading Corp. because they may pose as a choking hazard.  The T & L Trading company has refused to issue the recall themselves and so only the CPSC is issuing it themselves without cooperation.

This recall affects about 16,500 units and is being issued because the nipple piece can easily become detached and swallowed.  The pacifiers were sold at grocery stores, delis, and discount stores from August 2007 through July 2009 for about $1.

The “My Baby Soother” pacifier has a ring-shaped handle and a blue, pink, red, white or yellow heart-shaped mouth guard with two ventilation holes. The nipple is made of either silicon or latex. The pacifier package has the words “My Baby Soother” printed on the top and a picture of a baby on the background.

If you or someone you know has purchased one of these products you should take it and stop use immediately.  No refund can be issued since the company has not cooperated with the recall.  Consumers should contact the CPSC at (800) 638-2772 or visit their website CPSC.gov
