Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is recalling hundreds of Le Roy pacifiers sold in the San Francisco Bay Area between February and April 1993. The pacifiers, which are 3 inches long and available in blue, pink, or ivory, were manufactured in Mexico and sold by merchants from the rear of a van. The name "Le Roy" is embossed on the shield, and the handle features a cut-out stork design. They were sold in plastic bags attached to cardboard displays labeled "Minirey Chupon, Garza Irrompible Con Miel Y Tapa Protectora" for $1.49 each.

The recall is issued because the pacifiers fail to meet Federal regulations for pacifiers. They could fall apart during use, creating a fatal choking hazard for infants and young children. The recall was initiated after the U.S. Customs Service received an anonymous phone call reporting the sale of these violative products.

Consumers are urged to immediately take the pacifiers away from infants and young children. Those who purchased the pacifiers in the San Francisco Bay Area should return them to the store of purchase for a refund. Consumers outside the Bay Area who own these pacifiers are requested to contact the CPSC at 1-800-638-2772 to report the names and addresses of the stores where they were purchased.
