AiTuiTui Pull String Teething Toys Recalled Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Choking; Violate Mandatory Standard for Toys; Sold on Amazon by Vanfun

What's being recalled

This recall involves the AiTuiTui Pull String Teething Toy. The teething toy is an off-white disc shape with either a red ball or blue ball in the middle and six long pull string "tentacles" of various colors running through the ball. There are also three free-spinning rings on one side and soft push buttons on the disc. "Model: 688-59" is printed on the product packaging.

The problem, in CPSC's words

The hair growth serum contains minoxidil, which must be in child-resistant packaging, as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The serum bottle is not child-resistant, posing a risk of serious injury or death from poisoning if the contents are swallowed by young children.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

CPSC is aware of 15 choking incidents and two incidents of children able to bite pieces off the silicone strings.
