CPSC, Delta Enterprise Corp. Announce Recall of Lov's Pacifiers
The hazard
The pacifiers are banned under federal law. They failed federal safety tests when the nipples separated from the base. This poses a choking hazard to young children.
Incidents reported: CPSC has received one report of a 6-month-old child who was found gagging on the nipple that had separated from the pacifier. The child was not injured.
What to do now
Consumers should discard the pacifiers and contact the firm for instructions on how to obtain a refund or replacement product.
Contact: Contact Delta Enterprise's Pacifier Hotline at (800) 377-3777 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.deltaenterprise.com/recall
