Chewbeads Recalls Pacifier Clips Due to Choking Hazard

Agency Publication Date: September 29, 2015

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Chewbeads is recalling about 45,000 pacifier clips because the plastic "D" ring can break, which allows the beads to detach from the ribbon. There have been seven reports of beads detaching, posing a serious choking hazard to infants and young children. These clips were sold in five styles—Butterfly, Dinosaur, Heart, Sheriff Badge, and Baseball—at Buy Buy Baby and boutique stores nationwide between September 2014 and June 2015. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement or a full refund.

Risk

The plastic 'D' ring that holds the beads can snap during use, causing the small colorful beads to fall off. If an infant swallows or inhales these detached beads, it can lead to choking or respiratory distress.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately take the recalled pacifier clips away from children and stop using them.
  2. Check the back of the plastic garment clip for one of the following number codes to identify if your product is affected: 3/31/14, 08/08/14, 12/01/14, 14/30/09, 15/02/09, or 25/04/14.
  3. Verify the brand by looking for 'Chewbeads baby' imprinted in raised letters on the rubber shape (Butterfly, Dinosaur, Heart, Sheriff Badge, or Baseball) at the end of the clip.
  4. Contact Chewbeads Inc. for a free replacement pacifier clip or a full refund of the purchase price ($15.00 for standard styles or $16.50 for baseball styles).
  5. Reach Chewbeads toll-free at 888-786-7790 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email service@chewbeads.com, or visit www.chewbeads.com and click the 'Product Recall' link at the bottom of the page.
