Hazard

The teether can pull apart easily and expose small pieces. This poses choking and aspiration hazards to young children.

Remedy

Consumers should take the toys away from young children immediately and return them to the store where purchased, for a refund or exchange for another toy.

Incidents & injuries

The firm has received four reports of teethers coming apart and exposing small pieces. No injuries have been reported.

Product description

These toys are called the Whoozit® Touch and Teethe™, and have item number WZ-450, written on the packaging. The teether has a 3-inch center face with a red nose that squeaks when pushed in. A mirror is on the reverse side of the face. Seven shapes surround the toy: two hearts, two stars, two circles and one triangle. The green triangle on the toy reads "Touch and Teethe," "Whoozit" and "Made in China."

Sold on

Specialty stores and gift shops sold the teethers, from February 2000 through May 2000, for about $12.
