IDM Group is recalling about 119,000 CareBears pacifiers because the silicone nipple can separate from the base. This defect creates a serious risk for small children. The recalled products include both the pacifier and a clip attachment featuring CareBear figures and a "TCFC" copyright mark. These items were sold at various discount stores, dollar stores, and Walmart locations in Puerto Rico from October 2009 through June 2012 for about $1. Consumers should stop using the pacifiers immediately and return them for a full refund.
The nipple can detach from the pacifier's plastic base, creating a small part that young children can swallow or choke on. While no injuries have been reported, the product fails to meet federal safety standards for infant products.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled pacifiers away from infants and contact IDM Group LLC for instructions on returning the product for a full refund.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
