Summary

Hallmark is recalling approximately 15,500 teether rings sold between June 2015 and June 2021. The recall involves 11 styles of wooden teethers with various fabric or plush animal head attachments (including lambs, monkeys, and elephants) sold at Hallmark Gold Crown stores, supermarkets, and online. The finished wooden rings can break into small pieces, creating a choking hazard for infants. Consumers should immediately stop using these teethers and contact Hallmark for a $25 gift card refund.
