Plain-English summary

Primark has recalled approximately 1,330 Little Bear 2-pack Soother Clips. The product is a cloth strap with small bears and a wooden button designed to clip onto children's clothing to hold a pacifier. The product code 991139699 is printed on the price tag on the back of the packaging.

The wooden button on the soother clips can come off, exposing a sharp screw inside. This poses choking and laceration hazards to infants and young children. The firm has received five reports of the buttons detaching, including one report where the screw was found inside an infant's mouth and another report of cuts to a child's arm.

The recalled soother clips were sold at Primark stores located in the northeast and in Florida, Maryland, and Illinois from June 2025 through August 2025 for approximately $5.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled soother clips and return them to a Primark store for a full refund.
