Tiyol Pull String Teething Toys Recalled Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Choking; Violates Mandatory Standard for Toys; Sold on Amazon by ZW Creations
Description
This recall involves the Tiyol Pull String Teething Toy. The teething toy is an off-white disc shape with a red ball in the middle and six long, silicone pull string "tentacles" of various colors running through the ball. There are also three free-spinning rings and soft push buttons on the disc. "Model no. 688-59" is printed on the product packaging.
Hazard
The recalled teething toys violate the mandatory standard for toys because the silicone strings are smaller and longer than permitted. The silicone strings can reach the back of the throat and become lodged, posing a risk of respiratory distress and becoming a deadly choking hazard.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the toy immediately, take it away from children and contact ZW Creations for a free replacement. Consumers will be asked to cut and discard all silicone string tentacles, write "RECALLED" on the main body of the toy using a permanent marker, and submit a photograph of the destroyed product online at https://tiyol-recall.com.
