Plain-English summary

Grand World Inc. is recalling approximately 641,000 "Bobby Chupete" pacifiers due to a choking hazard. The recalled pacifiers feature a ring-shaped handle, a heart-shaped mouth guard with two ventilation holes, and a latex nipple. The packaging displays the "Bobby Chupete" name and an image of an infant. The pacifiers were available in aqua, red, white, or yellow colors.

The recall is necessary because the pacifiers fail to meet federal safety standards. Specifically, the mouth guard is too small, which creates a risk of choking for infants and toddlers. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

The pacifiers were sold at various retail stores nationwide from November 2004 through July 2009 for approximately $1 each. Consumers should immediately remove the recalled pacifiers from the reach of infants and toddlers.
