Dan Brechner Recalls Chupete and Baby Pacifiers Due to Choking Hazard

Plain-English summary

Dan Brechner & Co., Inc. is voluntarily recalling Chupete and Baby brand pacifiers, Style Nos. 985-060 and 969-644, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall is due to a potential choking hazard identified when the pacifiers were tested for compliance with CPSC safety requirements. During testing, the nipples separated from the shields, which could present a choking risk to users.

The affected pacifiers feature a brown rubber nipple attached to a round plastic shield that is white, pink, blue, or red. The packages are labeled with Style No. 985-060 or 969-644. These items were made in Hong Kong and imported by Dan Brechner & Co., Inc. Approximately 360,000 units were distributed in Puerto Rico between March 1984 and July 1985 and sold for less than $1.00.

Neither Dan Brechner & Co., Inc. nor the CPSC is aware of any injuries or deaths associated with these pacifiers. Consumers should stop using these pacifiers immediately and return them to the retailer where they were purchased for a full refund. For additional information, consumers may call Dan Brechner & Co., Inc. at 1-516-437-8400.
