FRIGG silicone pacifiers that were sold from April to December have been recalled because they present a choking hazard for infants, according to the company that makes them and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The company, Mushie & Co LLC, announced the recall Wednesday after it received more than 200 reports that the silicone nipples had detached from the plastic shield of the pacifier. No injuries have been reported.
More than 300,000 of the affected pacifiers were sold, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, or CPSC.
The pacifiers were sold on the company's website and on Amazon and at TJ Maxx and some baby boutiques for about $8 apiece or $15 for two.
They came in more than 40 colors and two designs, one that is round and one that has scalloped sides, the company said. They also are sold in two sizes: 0–6 months and 6–18 months.
The CPSC said people should stop using the pacifiers immediately.
"To obtain a full refund or credit, consumers should cut the silicone nipple from the base of the pacifier and send a photograph of both the detached silicone nipple and the base of the pacifier to Mushie & Co at: mushie.com/pages/recalls," the company instructed. Then the pacifiers should be thrown out.
