Little Rawr Pull String Teething Toys Recalled Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Choking; Violate Mandatory Standard for Toys; Sold on Amazon by Okabesini-us

What's being recalled

This recall involves Little Rawr Silicone Pull String Teething Toys. The teething toys consist of a blue disc shape with a blue ball in the center and five multi-colored, silicone tentacle-looking pull strings that run through the ball. The disc has eight soft push buttons. The pull string teething toy measures 5.7 inches wide by 5.7 inches tall by 7.8 inches long. The units were sold in their own white box. The "little rawr" logo is printed on the front of the box. The back of the box has the manufacturer's address and email as well as model number C-MBE-024. The identification number X004Q55E07 is printed below the barcode label. There is no identifying information on the product.

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 a deadly choking hazard.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

The firm is aware of one report of the toy's strings reaching the back of a child's throat, resulting in respiratory distress or choking.
