Soother chains (with a mouse's head, and in the shape of a train)

  • Brand HESS SPIELZEUG

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Hess Spielzeug soother chains—one featuring a mouse's head and one shaped like a train—are being recalled because the chain can break easily, producing small parts that fit entirely into a small parts cylinder, creating a choking hazard. The products do not meet the requirements of the European standard EN 12586. The soother chains are sold in blister packs labeled with "+0 months" and "made in Germany," and include CE marking and warnings in multiple languages on the back.

Authorities have ordered the products withdrawn from the market. The recall affects two models: the mouse soother chain (Art. Nr. 21 cm/03-2008, Model 13405) and the train soother chain (Art. Nr. 21 cm/04-2008, Model 13453). The source does not specify what action an affected consumer should take.
