Three types of Gerber Soothe N Chew teething were named in the Jan. 31 recall. All batches of each product are being recalled and discontinued.
Gerber is voluntarily recalling — and discontinuing — three kinds of teething sticks sold nationwide over a potential choking hazard, according to a Jan. 31 recall notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The notice said the recall was initiated after Gerber received complaints of choking incidents involving the affected products, one of which resulted in an emergency room visit.
The products can be identified using the following information:
