Plain-English summary

GOPO TOYS pull string teething toys are being recalled. The toy is an off-white disc with a grey ball in the centre and six multi-coloured silicone tentacle-style pull strings running through the ball, with seven soft push buttons on the disc. About 70,410 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 is aware of three reports of the toy's strings reaching the back of a child's throat, resulting in respiratory distress or choking.

The toys were sold online at Amazon.com from August 2023 through March 2026 for between $11 and $15.

Consumers should stop using the teething toy immediately, take it away from children and contact GOPO Toys for a full refund, destroying the toy by cutting all silicone strings as directed in the notice.
