More than 44,000 pacifiers manufactured by Antonio Flores have been recalled because they fail to meet Federal safety standards. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued the recall because the nipple can separate from the base easily, the pacifier handle is too long, the mouth guard is too small and there are no ventilation holes on the mouth guard. The pacifier could pose a choking and aspiration hazard to young children. These products were made in Mexico.
The pacifier has a ring-shaped handle and a round-shaped mouth guard. “Kariño” is printed on the handle side of the mouth guard, and “Mygra” is printed on one side of the handle. The nipple is filled with corn syrup. While there have been no reported incidents the CPSC wants to make sure that no child is harmed by these severely defective products. They were sold at independent grocery stores in California and Texas from October 2009 through March 2010 for about 25 cents. I’m shocked that with that laundry list of defects that this product was ever even sold. Anyone who did purchase one should immediately take away from the child and contact Antonio Flores collect at (619) 395-4543 for a refund.
