Approximately 641,000 "Bobby Chupete" pacifiers were recalled because they fail to meet federal safety standards. The pacifier mouthguard is too small, posing a choking hazard to infants and toddlers. The recalled pacifiers were sold in aqua, red, white, and yellow colors. They have a latex nipple, a ring-shaped handle, and a heart-shaped mouthguard with two ventilation holes. "Bobby Chupete" and a picture of an infant are printed on the pacifier's packaging.
What This Means
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Grand World Inc., the importer of the pacifiers, are not aware of any incidents or injuries.
Where This Product Was Sold
Various retail stores nationwide from November 2004 through July 2009 for about $1.
What to Do Next
Immediately take the recalled pacifiers away from infants and toddlers and contact Grand World for a refund or a replacement pacifier. Consumers may call Grand World collect at (718) 326-7786 between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. ET Monday through Friday or go to the company's website: www.grandworldinc.com.
