LiKee pull string teething toys reported to cause choking incidents

Plain-English summary

LiKee Pull String teething toys are being recalled. The toy is an off-white disc with a blue ball in the centre and six multi-coloured silicone tentacle-style pull strings running through the ball, with three soft push buttons on the disc. The brand name and "Baby Sensory Toy" are printed on the product. About 24,400 units are affected.

The recalled teething toys violate the mandatory standard for toys because the silicone strings are smaller and longer than permitted. The strings can reach the back of children's throat and become lodged, posing a serious risk of respiratory distress and a deadly choking hazard. The firm has received ten reports of the toys' strings reaching the back of a child's throat, resulting in respiratory distress or choking.

The toys were sold on Amazon.com from November 2024 through December 2025 for about $10.

Consumers should stop using the toy immediately, take it away from children and contact ChilanTech for a free replacement toy of at least equal value, including shipping. Consumers will be asked to destroy the toys as described in the recall notice.
