LiKee Pull String Teething Toys Recalled Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Choking; Violate Mandatory Standard for Toys; Sold on Amazon by ChilanTech

What's being recalled

This recall involves LiKee Pull String teething toys. The teething toys consist of an off-white disc shape with a blue ball in the center and six multi-colored, silicone tentacle-looking pull strings that run through the ball. The disc has three soft push buttons. The brand name and "Baby Sensory Toy" are printed on the front of the product packaging and "Model No. LK-FDWJ" on the back.

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

The firm has received ten reports of the toys' strings reaching the back of a child's throat, resulting in respiratory distress or choking.

What CPSC says to do

Replace

Consumers should stop using the toy immediately, take it away from children and contact ChilanTech for free replacement toy of at least equal value, including shipping. Consumers will be asked to destroy the toys by cutting the silicone tentacles and writing in permanent marker "Recalled" on the toys' main body and send a photo of the destroyed product to likee-teether-recall@outlook.com. Consumers should then dispose of the destroyed product.
