USCPSC, Whitehall-Robins Healthcare Announce Recall of Teething Rings
Recalling Firm: Whitehall-Robins Healthcare, of Madison, N.J.
Reason for Recall / Hazard
When bent, these teething rings can fit into an infant's mouth and trigger a gagging reflex. This poses a risk of vomiting, which could result in choking and aspiration.
Product Description & Identification
These teethers were sold with .25 oz. tubes of Baby Anbesol® Grape Gel, an oral anesthetic. The teethers are yellow and shaped like rabbits. They are about 3 inches long and 2.25 inches high. Two holes are molded into the teething ring for infants to grasp. The packaging reads, "THE BABY'S TEETHING KIT," and "FAST TEETHING PAIN RELIEF."
