of ConsumerAffairs
Chewbeads of New York, N.Y., is recalling about 50,900 pacifier clips in the U.S. and Canada.
The “D” ring on the pacifier clip can break, allowing beads to detach, posing a choking hazard.
The firm has received seven reports of the beads detaching. No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves five styles of Chewbeads Baby pacifier clip holders. The "Where’s the Pacifier?” pacifier clips styles include shapes of a Butterfly, Dinosaur, Heart, Sheriff Badge and a white baseball with red stitching and a major league baseball team logo.
“Chewbeads baby” is imprinted in raised letters on the rubber shape attachment. The pacifier clips have eight multi-colored beads threaded through a narrow satin ribbon that attaches to a pacifier on one end and a plastic D-ring on the other. The clip and beads are about six inches long.
The garment clip has the following number code on the back of the plastic clip: 3/31/14, 08/08/14, 12/01/14, 14/30/09, 15/02/09, 25/04/14.
The clips, manufactured in China, were sold at Buy Buy Baby and small boutique retail stores nationwide and in Canada from September 2014, through June 2015, for $16.50 for the baseball themed clips and $15 for the other style clips.
Consumers should immediately take these recalled pacifier clips away from young children and contact Chewbeads for a free replacement pacifier clip or a refund of the purchase price.
