About 6,800 units of the Yetonamr Pull String Teething Toys, sold on Amazon by Longyanguiheng of China, have been recalled because they \u201cviolate the mandatory standard for toys,\u201d the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission reported Thursday.<\/p>\n
According to the federal agency, the silicone strings on the baby toys \u201care smaller than permitted,\u201d so they can \u201creach the back of the throat and become lodged, posing a risk of respiratory distress, serious choking hazard and death.\u201d<\/p>\n
The recall was issued after the agency became aware of 32 choking incidents linked to the toys.<\/p>\n
The product is an off-white, disc-shaped baby toy featuring a red or blue ball at its centre, three free-spinning rings and soft push buttons, along with six long, multicoloured silicone pull-strings threaded through the ball.<\/p>\n

Consumers should stop using the baby toys immediately and contact Longyanguiheng for a full refund. Anyone with the product \u201cshould cut and discard all silicone string tentacles, write \u2018DESTROYED\u2019 on the main body of the toy using a permanent marker,\u201d and email a photo of it to yetonamr_recall@163.com, according to the commission. <\/p>\n
The teething toys are one of several products for children that have recently been recalled in the U.S. In December, more than 10,000 KTEBO-branded writing tablets sold on Amazon were recalled due to a risk of serious injury or death from battery ingestion.<\/p>\n
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said \u201cthe screw used to secure the battery compartment that contains a button cell battery does not remain attached,\u201d causing a hazard.<\/p>\n
Cubimana treehouse building toy sets were also recalled over fears of battery ingestion. The toys, sold on Shein, have battery compartments that \u201ccan be easily accessed by children,\u201d the commission said.<\/p>\n
In both recalls, the commission warned that if ingested, batteries can cause injuries such as internal chemical burns.<\/p>\n
Separately, CreateOn Crayola-branded Pip-Cubes were recalled over a magnet ingestion hazard, after thousands of the magnetic building sets were sold through Michaels and Amazon.<\/p>\n
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said the magnets inside the cubes can come loose. If swallowed, the high-powered magnets may attract to one another \u2014 or to other metal objects \u2014 and become lodged in a child\u2019s digestive system.<\/p>\n
The agency warned that this can cause intestinal perforations, twisting or blockages, blood poisoning, and, in severe cases, death.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
