Tiyol Pull String Teething Toys Recalled Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Choking; Violates Mandatory Standard for Toys; Sold on Amazon by ZW Creations

What's being recalled

This recall involves the Tiyol Pull String Teething Toy. The teething toy is an off-white disc shape with a red ball in the middle and six long, silicone pull string "tentacles" of various colors running through the ball. There are also three free-spinning rings and soft push buttons on the disc. "Model no. 688-59" is printed on the product packaging.

The problem, in CPSC's words

The recalled teething toys violate the mandatory standard for toys because the silicone strings are smaller and longer than permitted. The silicone strings can reach the back of the throat and become lodged, posing a risk of respiratory distress and becoming a deadly choking hazard.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

CPSC is aware of 11 choking incidents.
