Plain-English summary
Munchkin Inc. is recalling Latch lightweight pacifiers and clips sold as a set. The recall involves approximately 180,000 units sold in five styles: designer, rattle, and heartbeat clips with 0m+ natural shape pacifiers, and designer and rattle clips with 6m+ orthodontic pacifiers. The products were sold at retailers including Babies R Us, Target, Wal-Mart, and online at amazon.com and munchkin.com from March 2014 through March 2016 for between $11 and $15.
The recall was issued because the clip cover can detach from the pacifier's clip, posing a choking hazard for young children. The firm has received 10 reports of the clip cover detaching (5 in the U.S. and 5 in Canada), but no injuries have been reported.
Consumers should immediately take the clip away from young children. They can contact Munchkin toll-free at 877-242-3134 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or online at www.munchkin.com, to receive a free replacement Lightweight Pacifier pack with two pacifiers or a full refund.
