What happened

Steven Barrie and Company voluntarily recalled approximately 3,600 "Mother's Helper" pacifier holders that were sold nationwide in retail stores between October 1987 and August 1988. The recalled pacifier holders are two-inch plastic discs with a swivel metal clip designed to fasten to an infant's clothing or blanket. The metal clip may come loose from the plastic disc, creating a potential choking hazard for young children. The recalled holders have raised, multi-colored designs and text on the front reading "I'm a 10," "I'M A BOY," or "Hot Stuff," with "Mother's Helper" embossed on the back. Neither the company nor the Consumer Product Safety Commission is aware of any injuries from these pacifier holders.

Consumers who have the older "Mother's Helper" pacifier holders should remove them from infants and toddlers. The product can be returned to the retail store where it was purchased for a full refund, or sent directly to Steven Barrie and Company at 1055A Louis Drive, Warminster, PA 18970 for a refund of the purchase price and postage.
