RECALL: Pacifiers Decorated with Crystals Due to Ingestion & Aspiration

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firms named below, today announced a voluntary recall about 1,000 pacifiers decorated with crystals. These pacifiers fail to meet federal safety standards for pacifiers. The pacifiers' crystals can separate easily, posing an aspiration and ingestion hazard to young children. There were no reports of injuries. The recall involves pacifiers that were purchased from stores, decorated with Swarovski crystals, then resold to consumers. The crystals were glued on the pacifier's handle and guard. They come indifferent colors and designs. The list below lists additional information about the products sold. Sold at:
