Pampers Natural Stages Pacifiers Recalled by Key Baby Due to Choking Hazard (4/05/11)

These Pacifiers Failed to Meet Federal Safety Standards

R.C. Johnson
About 29,000 PampersĀ® Natural Stages Infant Ortho and Bulb Pacifiers were recalled on April 5, 2011. These pacifiers were manufactured by Tahoe Enterprises, of China, and were imported by Key Baby LLC, of Lutz, Fla. (Note: PampersĀ® licensed their brand name to Key Baby).

The pacifiers fail to meet federal safety standards and pose a choking hazard to young children; however, no incidents or injuries have been reported.

These pacifiers were sold at retail stores nationwide from April 2010 through February 2011 for about $6.

The pacifier comes in yellow, pink or blue colors and is made of silicone. Only "Stage 1" pacifiers are recalled. "Stage 1" and "Ortho" or "Bulb" are printed on the package. The recalled pacifiers have an oval-shaped mouth guard and "Pampers" molded on to the handle side of the mouth guard. The product comes two per package.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled pacifiers away from infants and contact Key Baby for instructions on returning the product for a full refund or $10 coupon toward the purchase of any PampersĀ® Natural Stages products.

For additional information, contact Key Baby toll-free at (800) 447-1224 anytime, or visit the company's web site at www.key-baby.com

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is still interested in receiving incident or injury reports that are either directly related to this product recall or involve a different hazard with the same product. Please tell them about it by visiting www.saferproducts.gov

    Thank you! I bought this in January for a friend's baby shower. I called her immediately, luckily she never used it because she had so many others. She was getting ready to give to her sister that pregnant so she was grateful. We are now checking our products at http://WeMakeItSafer.com
