BabyTown Pacifiers
Published January 10, 2008
Summary
CPSC records recall 08160, published January 10, 2008. Reported units: About 45,000.
What's the hazard
These pacifiers fail to meet federal safety standards for pacifiers. The pacifier shield is too small and could easily enter the mouth of an infant. Also, ventilation holes are too small and not placed to allow for the insertion of a tool to remove the pacifier when lodged in the mouth of a child. Finally, the package fails to display the required warning instructing consumers not to tie a pacifier around a child's neck, which would present a strangulation hazard.
What to do
Consumers should take these pacifiers away from children immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund.
