Units: 45,000

Hazard: The pacifier shield is too small and could easily enter the mouth of an infant. Also, ventilation holes are too small and not placed to allow for the insertion of a tool to remove the pacifier when lodged in the mouth of a child. Finally, the package fails to display the required warning instructing consumers not to tie a pacifier around a child’s neck, which would present a strangulation hazard.
Description: The “BabyTown” pacifiers were sold in a four-pack of assorted colors.
Sold at: Dollar stores nationwide from March 2004 through December 2007 for $1.
Remedy: Return the pacifiers to the store where purchased for a refund.
