Healthtex Recalls Pacifiers

09186a

A choking hazard has forced the hand of Healthtex to recall their Zoo pacifiers. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

The pacifiers failed to meet federal safety standards. The nipples can separate from the base easily, posing a choking hazard to young children. This recall involves Zoo pacifiers with animal cartoon figures as handles. The pacifier has a round-shaped mouth guard with three ventilation holes. “Made in Spain” is printed on the handle side of the mouth guard and “Mi Tosoro” is printed on the cardboard packaging.

Supermarkets and pharmacy stores nationwide from December 2002 through March 2009 for about $1.40.
