Plain-English summary

Calisson Inc. is recalling approximately 7,000 Vulli Cool-it Soother teething rings due to an ingestion hazard. The product is a clear teething ring attached to a green plastic handle shaped like the character "Gnon." If the teething ring is punctured, bacteria and mold can grow inside the untreated liquid, which poses an ingestion hazard to infants and can lead to diarrhea and vomiting.

The recalled teething rings were sold at small children's specialty stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com from January 2008 through November 2010 for about $10. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled teething ring away from children and return it to Calisson for a free replacement teething ring. For additional information, consumers can contact Calisson toll-free at (888) 318-9803 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's website at www.sophiegiraffeusa.com.
