Claire's latex pacifiers
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Claire's Boutiques, Inc. is voluntarily recalling 5,943 latex pacifiers that were sold with beaded or chain necklaces attached to the pacifier handles. The pacifiers, which are clear or amber colored and were sold nationwide without packaging beginning in January 1991 for $4.00 each, pose a strangulation hazard because they can become entangled on projections such as crib or playpen cornerposts. The pacifiers violate federal requirements that prohibit pacifiers from being sold with ribbon, string, cord, chain, twine, leather, yarn, or similar attachments, and they lack required warning labels.
According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately remove the chains from the pacifiers and return the chains to the store where purchased for a full refund of the purchase price. Consumers with questions may contact Claire's Boutiques, Inc. at (708) 860-5400. Neither the CPSC nor the company is aware of any injuries involving this product.
