What's being recalled

Pacifier clips

Units: About 45,000 in United States (in addition about 5,900 were sold in Canada)

This recall involves five styles of Chewbeads Baby pacifier clip holders. The "Where's the Pacifier?" pacifier clips styles include shapes of a Butterfly, Dinosaur, Heart, Sheriff Badge and a white baseball with red stitching and a major league baseball team logo. "Chewbeads baby" is imprinted in raised letters on the rubber shape attachment. The pacifier clips have eight multi-colored beads threaded through a narrow satin ribbon that attaches to a pacifier on one end and a plastic D-ring on the other. The clip and beads are about six inches long. The garment clip has the following number code on the back of the plastic clip: 3/31/14, 08/08/14, 12/01/14, 14/30/09, 15/02/09, 25/04/14.

The problem, in CPSC's words

The "D" ring on the pacifier clip can break, allowing beads to detach, posing a choking hazard.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

The firm has received seven reports of the beads detaching. No injuries have been reported.
