Parents all around the United States are advised to inspect their baby goods after Gerber declared a recall of its Soothe n' Chew Teething Sticks due of a possible choking hazard. The company launched the recall after learning that some of the teething sticks can shatter into tiny bits, therefore posing a choking hazard for newborns, according to this New York Post article. Parents and caregivers all over the country should be concerned about these products since they were offered in 45 states including Puerto Rico.
Promoted as a safe approach to help infants six months and older relieve teething discomfort, the recalled Soothe n' Chew Teething Sticks might not live up as planned. Although there have thus far been no reported major injuries, Gerber is treating the matter seriously and has encouraged consumers to stop using the products immediately. Parents who bought the teething sticks may return them for a complete refund.
Responding to the recall, Gerber said that customer safety comes first and that the company is closely working with authorities to ensure that its products pass the highest safety guidelines. While using teething products, parents should monitor their child closely and routinely search for product recalls. Gerber has also advised caregivers to submit any concerns about product safety via its customer contact channels.
