Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Playtex is recalling approximately 1.25 million pacifier holder clips because the plastic clips can crack and break. These small broken pieces pose a choking hazard to infants. The company has received 99 reports of the holders cracking or breaking, though no injuries have been reported. These clips were sold in green (monkey), pink (flower), and blue (tow truck) designs between July 2010 and October 2013. Consumers should immediately stop using the clips and contact Playtex for a full refund.

Risk

The plastic clip mechanism can crack during use, causing small plastic parts to break off. If an infant swallows these small parts, it can lead to choking or internal injury.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled Playtex pacifier holder clips and take them away from infants.
  2. Check your pacifier holder for a 'Playtex' copyright logo on the plastic adjustment slide and look for one of three designs: a green clip with a monkey, a pink clip with a flower, or a blue clip with a tow truck.
  3. Contact Playtex toll-free at (888) 220-2075 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.playtexproducts.com and click on 'Recall' for instructions on how to return the product for a full refund.
  4. For additional questions, you can contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772.
