Pacifiers Recalled Due To Aspiration Hazard

Pacifiers that were decorated with crystals have been recalled, because of aspiration and ingestion hazards.

Retailers: Dara Linda’s Baby Bling and Jewelry Design, of Davie, Fla.; Bling Toes, of Cherry Valley, Ill.; Baby Bling Things, of Appleton, Wis.; PeaNaPod Bling and Accessories, of Fort Wayne, Ind.; and MJM Crystal Designs, of Boca Raton, Fla.

Hazard: These pacifiers fail to meet federal safety standards for pacifiers. The pacifiers’ crystals can separate easily, posing an aspiration and ingestion hazard to young children.

Incidents/Injuries: None reported.

Description: The recall involves pacifiers that were purchased from stores, decorated with Swarovski crystals, then resold to consumers. The crystals were glued on the pacifier's handle and guard. They come in different colors and designs. The chart below lists additional information about the products sold.

Who, in their right mind would purchase a pacifier for a baby that had crystals glued to it? I have seen baby drool dissolve the harshest of materials, what made them think these pacifiers would be any different?

You can visit the CPSC website for more information, if by chance you were one of those who actually purchased on of these ridiculous items.
