Teething toys sold on Amazon have been recalled, according to a notice issued by the Consumer Product Safety Commission on Thursday, May 14th.

The notice states that the product violates mandatory toy standards because the silicone string is smaller and longer than allowed. As a result, it can reach the back of your throat and become stuck, making it difficult to breathe and putting you at risk of suffocation.

The agency is aware of 11 suffocation incidents, the notice states.

Approximately 102,430 vehicles are affected by the recall.

Details about recalled teething toys

According to the recall, the toy is an off-white disc-shaped ball with a red ball in the center and six long silicone pull string “tentacles.” There are tentacles of various colors running inside the ball. In addition, there are three free-swinging rings and soft push buttons on the disc.

The product package says “Model number 688-59”.

The toy was sold on Amazon.com from October 2022 to January 2026 for $10 to $12.

What should consumers do?

Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the toy or take it away from their children. Consumers can contact ZW Creations to request a free replacement.

To receive a replacement, customers are asked to cut and discard all silicone string tentacles, write “RECALLLED” on the body of the toy with a permanent marker, and submit a photo of the destroyed product online at https://tiyol-recall.com.
