Hazard identified

Health Canada's testing requires that, after pacifiers are boiled, they do not come apart when they are pulled on.

Testing by Health Canada has determined that the nipples of the recalled pacifiers may separate; these small components pose a choking hazard to young children.

Health Canada has received one complaint about the pacifier separating, with no reported injuries.

For tips on safe pacifier use, see Health Canada's Is Your Child Safe? and click on Pacifiers.
