On March 15, 2018, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reported a voluntary recall for nearly 590,000 pacifier and teethers made by Handi-Craft, a manufacturer and distributor of baby bottles and accessories. Although no injuries are known at this time, the recall ignited after a reported 67 instances of a snap detachment from the pacifier ribbon occurred and posed a choking hazard to infants and young children.

Important Recall Information

The recall covers popular baby brand, Dr. Brown’s Lovey pacifier and teether holders that were sold in character styles of a Giraffe, Zebra, Turtle, Reindeer, Frog, Spring Bunny, Deer and Bunny. These products were sold at Bed Bath & Beyond, K-Mart, Target, Toys/Babies ‘R Us, Walmart and other stores nationwide including Amazon.com between August 2015 and March 2018 for about $10. The recall also includes 10,500 products that were sold in Canada.

Unsafe Children’s Products Can Cause Serious Injury

Parents should be able to trust that a simple soother made to comfort their infant or toddler will also be safe and not cause harm. Unfortunately, injuries happen to children each day because of defective products. When this happens, an individual, no matter what their age, may make a claim for damages through a product liability lawsuit. This means a seller, distributor, supplier, or manufacturer can be held liable for introducing a defective product into people’s lives.

Defective product cases can be very complex and expensive, especially since the opposition is usually a large company with a department full of lawyers and legal staff ready to fight against your claim. You need a law firm with substantial experience and resources to support and protect your rights. Rhoads & Rhoads has a reputation for being an aggressive personal injury firm that gets results, and we genuinely care about you, your family, and ensuring your family is compensated appropriately for the injuries your child has sustained.
