Baby Teethers Recalled Due to Choking Hazard

January 2007

Before you let your teething baby soothe their swollen gums, make sure their teether isn’t dangerous. Kids II Inc. recalled 375,000 teethers because the flexible plastic ring that holds the teether beads in place can crack or break. The beads can detach, posing a choking hazard to infants.

There have been at least 24 reports of the plastic ring cracking or breaking and the beads becoming detached from the ring.

The Bright Starts Star Teether Beads (model 8483) have textured soft plastic beads in bright colors and various shapes connected to a flexible plastic ring. The beads on this model are shaped as stars, spirals and ovals. The Bright Starts Teether Beads (model 8549) have plastic beads in bright colors that are shaped as an oval and are connected to a flexible plastic ring.

Consumers should take this product away from children immediately and contact Kids II for information on receiving a free replacement.
