ATTENTION PARENTS: Playtex has issued a voluntary recall of the Playtex Pacifier Holder Clip, because the product can crack and a small part can break off which poses a choking hazard to small children. No reports of injury have been received.
According to the recall, the affected product is a plastic clip with a figure and a “Playtex” copyright mark secured by a ribbon with a pacifier clear plastic ring at the end. The pacifier holder was sold in green with a monkey figure, pink with a flower and blue with a tow truck. (The pacifier holders are identified by UPC number 7830005924.)
The company issued a statement via the website, “We are taking this action out of an abundance of caution, because the health and safety of the people who use our products is our top priority.”
Approximately 150,000 holders were distributed in Canada and approximately 1,250,000 in the United States at various retailers. The recalled pacifier clips were sold from July 2010 through October 2013.
Consumers should take the recalled pacifier holders away from infants immediately and contact Playtex for instructions on how to return the product for a full refund.
For questions or instructions on how to return the product for a full refund, please contact Playtex at 1-888-220-2075 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday or contact us online.
