Urgent Safety Recall: Teething Toys Sold on Amazon Can Pose Child Choking Risk
Federal regulators said 11 choking incidents were linked to the toys, which were sold for about $10 to $12 each.
Federal safety regulators warned on Thursday that about 102,000 Tiyol Pull String Teething Toys sold on Amazon are being recalled because parts pose a choking risk to children.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the silicone strings violate federal standards by being too small and long, creating a risk of "respiratory distress and becoming a deadly choking hazard."
The toys, sold from October 2022 to January 2026 for between $10 and $12, have been linked to 11 reported choking incidents.
Consumers should immediately stop using the toy and contact ZW Creations for a free replacement after destroying the product by cutting the silicone "tentacles" and writing "RECALLED" on the body.
The recalled off-white disc-shaped toys feature a red ball in the center with six silicone pull-string "tentacles" and have the number 688-59 printed on the packaging.
