Washington, D.C. Parents and caregivers are being urged to stop using Skip Hop Baby Sesame Street Elmo silicone teethers after a federal recall was announced Sept. 3 citing a choking risk if small parts come loose.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the black eye pieces on the Elmo silicone teethers can detach if the product is frozen, creating a potential choking hazard that could cause serious injury or death to infants.
The recall covers the silicone Elmo shaped teethers produced under the Skip Hop Baby Sesame Street line. The agency did not list specific retailers or regional restrictions in its announcement. Consumers who own the product are advised to immediately take it away from children and stop using it.
Parents and caregivers should contact the manufacturer for information on obtaining a refund or a replacement teether, the CPSC said. The agency did not provide details about how to verify a teether’s eligibility for the remedy beyond contacting Skip Hop.
The recall notice emphasizes keeping removed or suspect teethers out of reach of young children until they can be returned or replaced. If a child has choked or experienced an injury related to the teether, the CPSC encourages reporting the incident to local medical authorities and the agency.
