Effective: November 2, 2006
|
The U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission (CPSC)
announces the following recall
in voluntary cooperation with
the firm below. Consumers should
stop using recalled products
immediately unless otherwise
instructed. |
|
|
Name of product: |
Flashing Pacifiers |
|
Units: |
About 237,000 |
|
Importers/Retailers: |
Rhode Island Novelty, of
Providence, R.I.; Hayes
Specialties Corp., of
Saginaw, Michigan; My Bargain
Bin LLC., of New Castle,

|
Hazard: |
These pacifiers failed to meet
federal safety standards for
pacifiers. The nipple can
separate from the shield easily,
posing a choking hazard. Some
pacifiers were sold with
necklaces that pose a
strangulation hazard, and one of
the necklaces has beads that can
come loose, which poses an
aspiration hazard. Though they
are marketed for older children,
they could be given to babies,
and can cause serious injury or
death. |
|
Incidents/Injuries: |
None reported. |
Description:
|
The units involved
are flashing
pacifiers and
flashing pacifiers
with whistles. The
pacifiers are clear
or colored purple,
blue, pink or green.
The pacifiers have
five flashing LED
lights that are red
and blue, red and
light green and
orange. Some
pacifiers are sold
with a rainbow cord
that is attached to
handles, and some
cords have breakaway
connectors. One
pacifier has
multi-colored beads
on the cords in the
shapes of barrels,
trains, boats and
various animals.
Pacifiers were sold
in clamshell
packages. The
packaging has a
warning that states
they are for “12+
Years” or “6+
Years.” Some of the
products have a
warning on the
packaging that they
are not a real
pacifier, but a
practical joke. The
chart below lists
additional
information about
the products sold
and what is written
on the packaging. |
