Avent Pacifiers May Pose Choking Hazard

We wanted to let you know of a potentially dangerous situation with Avent pacifiers. A mother found that her baby’s pacifier had come apart in 3 pieces. The nipple and nipple shield were still in the baby's mouth but the button that holds the handle on and the handle were both in pieces in the baby’s crib. Both of these pieces are serious choking hazards.

The parents called Philips Avent to report the incident. They also reported it to US Consumer Product Safety Commission, who told her to stop using the product immediately, even the ones that weren’t broken.

While this is not an official recall notice, we wanted to get this information to you, just in case.

Stay tuned for more details.
