What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Solar Inc. is recalling approximately 24,000 units of Flashing Pacifiers and 2-in-1 Flashing Pacifiers with Whistle Necklace. The recalled products consist of a 28-inch multicolored cord with a 3-inch plastic pacifier that features a flashing light and, in some models, a whistle. The pacifier handle serves as the on-off button for the light, and a hole at the tip of the nipple functions as a blow hole for the whistle.

The recall was initiated because the nipple can detach from the base, which poses a choking hazard to young children. No injuries have been reported in connection with these products. The pacifiers were manufactured in China and sold at small retail stores, distributors, dollar stores, and on Solar's website from January 2004 through February 2005 for approximately $1 each.

Consumers should immediately discard the pacifiers or return them to the place of purchase to obtain a refund. For more information, consumers can contact Solar Inc. toll-free at (800) 837-6527 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the company's website.
