Aojieni Silicone Recalls Sili Factory Pull String Teething Toys Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Choking; Violate Mandatory Standard for Toys

What's being recalled

This recall involves Aojieni Silicone pull string teething toys. The teething toys consist of a pink disc shape with a pink ball in the center and five multi-colored, silicone tentacle-looking pull strings that run through the ball. The disc has seven soft push buttons. The brand name and "Pulling Toy" is printed on the front of the product packaging, and the batch number DS250238 on the back of packaging.

The problem, in CPSC's words

The recalled teething toys violate the mandatory standard for toys because the silicone strings are smaller and longer than permitted. The strings can reach the back of children's throat and become lodged, posing a serious risk of respiratory distress and deadly choking hazard.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

CPSC is aware of one report of the toy's strings reaching the back of a child's throat, resulting in gagging. No injuries have been reported.

What CPSC says to do

Refund

Consumers should stop using the teething toy immediately, take it away from children and contact Aojieni Silicone to receive a full refund. Consumers will be asked to destroy the toy by cutting all silicone strings and writing in permanent marker "RECALLED" on the main body of the toy and send a photo of the destroyed toy to info@silifactory.com. Consumers should then dispose of the destroyed product.
