The Consumer Product Safety Committee in conjunction with Kariño Baby Pacifiers issued a voluntary recall Thursday, July 22, on approximately 45,000 baby pacifiers.

The units were distributed by Antonio Flores, of San Ysidro, California, and sold in independent grocery stores in California and Texas from 2009-2010 for around 25 cents a piece.

The pacifiers manufactured in Mexico fail to meet government standards and may pose a choking hazard to children. The nipple of the pacifier easily separates from the base, and the mouth-guard section is too small, meaning children can suck the whole base into their mouth and choke.

According to government regulations, all pacifiers are required to have ventilation holes so children don’t choke while sucking on them, but the Kariño pacifier does not have them.

The CPSC advises parents to take the pacifier away from children immediately and contact Antonio Flores for a full refund or exchange information. To contact Antonio Flores, you can call them Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT at (619) 395-4543.

No accidents or injuries have yet been reported to the CPSC, but they do encourage parents to contact them with injury reports, including details about other hazards that may have been posed by the product. Consumer feedback helps the CPSC develop more detailed reports about recalled products. You can file an injury report on their official website.
