Handi-Craft is recalling about 590,000 Dr. Brown's Lovey pacifier and teether holders because the plastic snap can detach from the ribbon. There have been 67 reports of the ribbons fraying and the snaps coming off, which creates a dangerous choking risk for infants and young children. These plush animal holders were sold at major retailers like Target and Walmart from August 2015 through March 2018 for about $10. Consumers should immediately stop using these holders and contact the company for a free replacement or merchandise of equal value.
The plastic snap on the ribbon can break off or detach due to fraying, creating a small part that a young child can swallow or choke on. While no injuries have been reported, the firm received dozens of reports of the snap failing.
Consumer should immediately take the recalled holders away from young children and contact Handi-Craft for further instructions to receive a replacement product or comparable merchandise of equal or lesser value.
