Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

W.B. Nod and Company of Atlanta, GA, is voluntarily recalling approximately two million Pacifier Pal pacifier holders (Model #CP-301). The product is a two-inch by one-inch plastic badge with a rainbow design and a safety pin on the back. It was sold with three interchangeable multi-colored ribbons featuring metal snaps at each end for attaching a pacifier.

The recall is due to a choking hazard, as the metal snaps may come loose from the ribbon. The pacifier holders were sold nationwide from 1985 until 1989 for about $2.00 each. The products were imported from China and Turkey. Neither the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) nor W.B. Nod and Company is aware of any injuries involving this product. The CPSC became aware of the hazard from a consumer complaint regarding the safety pin opening during use, though no injury occurred in that instance.

Consumers with the model CP-301 "Pacifier Pal" pacifier holder should remove the holders from infants and return them directly to W.B. Nod and Company for a replacement with the new product. Consumers may call W.B. Nod and Company at 1-800-882-8783 or write to 7000 Peachtree Dunwoody Road, Atlanta, GA 30328, for questions. Redesigned pacifier holders manufactured since February 1990 (Model #CP-311) are not subject to this recall.
