Defective Pacifiers Recalled Due to Choking Hazard
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission CPSC announced, March 24, 2009, that OKK Trading issued a voluntary recall of about 2,900 faulty pacifiers. According to the CPSC, the pacifiers sold under the name Baby Necessities Pacifiers are defective and pose a choking hazard to young children.
Defective Pacifiers Description
The defective Baby Necessities pacifiers have been described as having a blue heart-shaped mouth guard. They are sold in packages of four and the words “Baby Necessities??? are printed on the cardboard packaging.
The faulty pacifiers were manufactured in China and sold, nationwide, at dollar and discount stores from August 2007 through January 2009.
Faulty Pacifiers Pose Choking Hazard
OKK Trading issued the pacifier recall following federal safety tests. The pacifiers failed the safety tests after the nipples separated from the base, creating a choking hazard. In addition to the recall, the pacifiers have also been banned under federal law.
No Child Injuries Reported
Despite the recall, there have been no reports of child injuries or choking accidents linked to the defective pacifiers. All parents who have purchased the Baby Necessities Pacifiers have been advised to stop use immediately however. The recall is also advising parents to contact OKK Trading for a refund or exchange.
For more information, contact OKK Trading at (877) 655-8697 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday or visit www.okktrading.com.

Keep It Close for Comfort
When Mary Claire, 8 months, is ready for a nap or bedtime, her mom better have her silk, pink blankie on hand -- or else. Sound familiar? Comfort items, such as blankets, stuffed animals, bottles and pacifiers, take center stage for many children, starting around six months. As infants begin to first discover they are independent people from their parents, they often attach to one special item that helps soothe them when they are feeling cranky, hungry, sick, or tired. (This is different from a newborn's attachment to a pacifier, bottle, or nipple which satisfy the need to suck.)
