Summary

Munchkin is recalling about 180,000 Latch lightweight pacifier and clip sets because the plastic clip cover can detach, posing a choking hazard to infants. The recall includes Designer, Rattle, and Heartbeat styles sold in various colors and patterns between March 2014 and March 2016. There have been 10 reports of the clip cover detaching, though no injuries have been reported.

  2. Immediately take the clip away from children and stop using it.
