Recall of Cheap Pacifiers That Can Choke Babies

From: New York attorney Gary E. Rosenberg (personal injury and accident attorney and lawyer; serving Brooklyn Queens Bronx; Queens Injury Lawyer)

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission and Antonio Flores, a company in

San Ysidro, California, recently recalled Kariño Baby Pacifiers. About 45,000 of the pacifiers were distributed and sold in independent grocery stores in California and Texas for about 25¢.

The pacifiers, made in Mexico, fail federal safety standards and have multiple design defects that pose a danger to babies.

Hazards: The nipple can separate from the base easily, the pacifier handle is too long, the mouth guard is too small and there are no ventilation holes on the mouth guard. The pacifier could pose a choking and aspiration hazard to young children.

No injuries are reported. Hopefully no children will be hurt by pacifiers already sold; this would be a tragic defective product case.
