Plain-English summary

Sailing (U.S.) International Corp. is recalling approximately 8,000 units of Flashing Pacifiers and 2-in-1 Flashing Pacifiers with Whistle Necklaces. The recalled products consist of a 28-inch multicolored cord with a 3-inch plastic pacifier in assorted colors. The pacifier handle serves as the on-off button for the flashing light, and a hole at the tip of the nipple functions as a blow hole for the whistle.

The recall is being issued because the nipple can detach from the base, which poses a choking hazard to young children. The company has not reported any injuries associated with the use of these products.

The pacifiers were sold at various retail stores nationwide during June 2007 for approximately $5 per dozen. Consumers should immediately stop using the pacifiers and return them to the store where purchased to receive a full refund, or discard the pacifiers.
