The text below is quoted from the CPSC notice word for word.
- What was recalled
- This recall involves GOPO TOYS pull string teething toys. The teething toys consist of an off-white disc shape with a gray ball in the center and six multi-colored, silicone tentacle-looking pull strings that run through the ball. The disc has seven soft push buttons. The brand name and "Pull String Toy" is printed on the front of the product packaging, and the batch number 250905, 250530, 250120, 240315, 231005 or 230610 on the back of packaging.
- The hazard
- 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.
- Injuries
- The firm is aware of three reports of the toy's strings reaching the back of a child's throat, resulting in respiratory distress or choking.
- The remedy
- Consumers should stop using the teething toy immediately, take it away from children and contact GOPO Toys to receive a full refund. Consumers will be asked to destroy the toy by cutting all silicone strings and writing in permanent marker "DESTROYED" on the main body of the toy and send a photo of the destroyed toy to [email protected]. Consumers should then dispose of the destroyed product.
