Caller stated that after purchasing the teething toy approximately 5 seconds later her 5 month old child was choking on the feet of the giraffe. The child was able to placed the toy in her mouth and it became lodged in her throat. She was able to retrieve the product before there was any injury to the child. No medical attention was received. There is no warning label. 9/8/13 She contacted the Manager of the store and she was informed that he has received complaints from other consumers of the same incidents and that she could write a review online. She feels that this teether toy is a choking hazard and could have caused fatality. The product is not involved in a recall.

I recently bought a Gum Drop 6-12 Month size pacifier for my infant. I gave her the pacifier when she went to sleep. In the night, it fell out and she tried to out it in herself. When she stuck her thumb into the back of the product, her thumb got caught and she could not get it out. After trying to sleep with her thumb in the pacifier, she woke screaming because it was cutting off the circulation to her thumb. The 6 month pacifiers have a different kind of hole in the back which catches a child's finger and doesn't let go. I am an adult, and it was extremely hard for me to get it off her thumb. Who knows what would have happened if we had not found it when we did. If her thumb had been in there all night, she may not have had use of it ever again. I am so angry this product is on the market. This is supposed to be a safe, soothing mechanism, but instead it is quite the opposite. This is a serious danger to children.

I bought a teething toy for my 4 1/2 month old baby, the Bright Starts Pretty in Pink Carry & Teeth Purse. She was chewing on it, then she just started crying. I took the toy and then realized she was bleeding in her mouth! This happened on July 10th, 2012, and I contacted the company through their Twitter page. They never responded.

We bought a teether toy for our infant daughters and it was made of very flimsy material that tore easily and a chunk came off. This is a dangerous choking hazard.

Good afternoon, My name is [REDACTED]. I am a [REDACTED] for the Albany County Department of Health, in upstate New York. I work in the [REDACTED] as an EPA certified Lead Risk Assessor. On June 26, 2017, I conducted a risk assessment with my co-worker, [REDACTED], at a home where a child was lead poisoned. Interior and exterior lead paint hazards were identified, however, they were relatively minor in nature. Upon completion of required remediation, we returned to the home and took clearance dust samples. This was done on August 4th, 2017. The dust samples passed the EPA clearance levels. Typically, when lead hazards are remediated, a child's blood lead level should begin to decrease. However, in this case, the child was tested again, and his levels continued to rise. [REDACTED] and I returned to the home on September 1, 2017, to investigate further. (We had tested some of the toys in the home during the first inspection, but were unable to find anything positive for lead). On September 1, I re-tested toys in the home, this time testing virtually everything, including the crib. During conversation with the child's mother, I determined that the child was spending a lot of time in the family vehicle when they would travel to visit relatives. I asked if I could check the interior of the car. Inside I found a toy that the child regularly mouths (it is a teething toy). When I tested it with our XRF analyzer, it registered at 12.9 mg/cm2. This toy is built by "The First Years." It is called a "My Phone." We brought the toy back to the office and took it apart so we could determine whether the positive reading was coming from the plastic casing, or if it was coming from the electronic components within. When I opened it up I noticed a metal disc which showed obvious areas of corrosion. I tested the disc with the XRF and it registered at 18.2 mg/cm2. The disc is located within the plastic, however, there are several small holes that would easily allow corroded metal du

Hi! One of my daycare kids has Babygoal Pacifier Clips. The clip detached and it is small enough to be a choking hazard. I removed the clips from all the tethers.

My 6.5 month old son was standing in his [REDACTED] chewing on his teething ring.  I walked into the kitchen and heard an odd noise. I turned around in time to see him gagging with the full teether in his mouth and him sputtering vomit overflowing past the teether onto his [REDACTED] tray. His eyes watery and bulging, arms flailing with panic in his face going red. I made it to him after a few seconds pushing my daughter out of the way tripping on the cat and a few toys. I pulled it out of his mouth. Cleared his mouth and nose. He was pretty shaken up as was my daughter after watching it and being moved aside but in a few minutes I was able to settle them both. He seemed to have a wet cough that developed immediately following the incident. It lasted 3 days and has self resolved.
