The New South Wales Government has issued an urgent recall of 14 brands
of dummies that pose a potential choking hazard for babies.
The Department of Fair Trading identified the dangerous goods during a
safety compliance blitz of discount stores across Sydney.
Fair Trading Minister Virginia Judge says the dummies had failed safety
tests and could become stuck in an infant's mouth, cutting off their air
supply.
"Nine safety shields were not the required size to stop the dummies from
lodging in a child's throat," Ms Judge said.
"The dummies were manufactured overseas and sold in a variety of
discount stores across the country."
All the dummies in question have been taken off shelves and parents are
advised to return any of the following brands for a full refund:
* Crib Mates 2 Pack Pacifier;
* Soother Baby Pacifiers;
* AQIN Potato Dummy;
* Toys Dummy;
* Apple Baby New Series of Infant Necessities Baby Dummy;
* Smile Bear 3 Piece Nipples Soother and Chain BN1061;
* Happy Angel Dummy;
* Smile Bear Baby Necessaries Pacifier;
* Apple Baby Necessities 333;
* Ai-Non PN 129;
* Pinkie Baby's Best Need D014 Dummy;
* Pinkie "Oh, my first kiss" D006 Dummy;
* Apple Healthy Baby Pacifier BW2235;
* Pigeon Silicone Pacifier "Step 2" 5 months plus;
More than 3,000 of these dummies have been sold since 2004.
if you know anyone with these dummies please please tell them.
