Tidy Orthodontic Pacifiers Recalled Due to Choking Hazard

Tiny Treasures is recalling Tidy Orthodontic Pacifiers because they may break and cause a fatal choking hazard to young children.

What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states the separated parts may become a 'fatal choking hazard,' which aligns with the rubric criterion for known fatalities or death risks.

Plain-English summary

Tiny Treasures of Memphis, TN, is voluntarily recalling Tidy Orthodontic Pacifiers, Model G-15, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The pacifiers are made of all white plastic with the word "TIDY" embossed on the shield. The recall is necessary because the pacifiers may break during use, causing the nipple and/or handle to separate and become a fatal choking hazard to young children.

The recalled pacifiers were included with four specific baby products: Paci-Finder #2018, Infant Basket #2019, Duck Layette Basket #2101, and Bow Layette Basket #2201. These products were sold in retail and discount stores nationwide from April to June 1990. Retailers were notified by the firm in October 1990 to stop selling these pacifiers.

Consumers are urged to take these pacifiers away from young children immediately. They should return the pacifiers to the store where purchased for a replacement pacifier or a refund. Consumers with questions may contact Tiny Treasures at 901-367-4804 or write to 3674 Cherry Road, Memphis, TN 38118.
