Diplomat Pacifiers Recalled for Missing Ventilation Holes and Warning Label

Plain-English summary

Four Seasons General Merchandise is voluntarily recalling approximately 7,800 "Diplomat Pacifiers" (item #3161) imported from Taiwan. The pacifiers were sold in packages of two (one blue and one pink) for 99 cents between January and September 1993 to stores throughout the central and western United States. The pacifier nipples have "Latex Pur" embossed on the side, and the packaging features pink and white stripes with the words "Diplomat 2 Pacifiers" in the upper left corner.

The recall is being conducted because the pacifiers fail to meet safety regulations. Specifically, the pacifier shields lack the required ventilation holes, which are necessary to prevent small children from suffocating. Additionally, the packaging did not include the required warning statement: "Warning - Do Not Tie Pacifier Around Child's Neck." Neither the CPSC nor the manufacturer is aware of any injuries involving these pacifiers, and the recall is intended to prevent the possibility of injury.

Consumers are urged to take the pacifiers away from young children immediately and return them to the stores where purchased for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact Four Seasons General Merchandise at (213) 582-4444.
