Plain-English summary

Natura Products Downey Inc. of City of Commerce, Calif., is recalling approximately 9,400 Jaloma pacifiers. The pacifiers, which measure three inches long and about 1½ inches across the base, are made of pink, blue, green, or white plastic with a yellow nipple filled with a sugary substance. The shield is labeled "Jaloma." These products are banned under federal law because they failed federal safety tests and can come apart, posing a choking hazard to infants and small children.

The pacifiers were sold at various small Mexican supermarkets and commercial retailers nationwide from March 2004 through August 2004 for between $0.35 and $1. CPSC has received one report of a pacifier nipple detaching from the pacifier while in the mouth of a seven-month-old; the child was not injured.

Consumers should immediately take the pacifiers away from young children and return them to the store where purchased for a full refund. Consumers may also call Natura Products Downey collect at (323) 726-9098 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday.
